Politics All Things Trump

[OldGuy]

Looks like a lone wolf type of guy who was arrogant enough to feel "chosen" to make history. Not really surprising.

Nor unusual and atypical by American standards, to be honest (although I think @Junglejim's words were a bit too harsh).

Maybe he was inspired by some of the more recent assassination attempts against high-profile politicians worldwide.

Education had nothing to do with what happened today. Now our surroundings did play a role. First thing I learned taking a sociology class was " Man is a product of his own culture". We have poor education of course but it depends where you live and were raised . I knew as far back as 1976 the nation was going to "pot" literally, when a fellow work friend married a Teacher in Baton Rouge, she was a straight up pot head. It was unthinkable in my young life simply because it would have never ever been allowed to happen. Today we have no true law enforcement. People in charge all seem to be the bad guys today. So it comes as no surprise to me what happened. I wish I had the strength and patience to write a long memoir of the things I have witnessed in this long life. One of the first would be still too young to walk and playing in my sandbox in front of our house. I had several brightly colored plastic cups and saucers and to this day I distinctly remember that strong petroleum smell of those new plastic toys I was playing with. Decades later I learned that every tire being made was using 7 quarts of oil in the making. Not a historical thing for sure but that would come later when I ran to school two blocks away from home to watch John Glen take the first manned space flight . The hits just kept coming after that.

I just want to see if they match the stereotype that we're being told isn't true from antifa to being just an "idea" of mostly peaceful persons or not. I already know it's a war of narratives where both sides are using propaganda to dehumanize.

Dive deep into social media and depending on which side they're coming from, the more further they are from the center from either left or right, the deeper their loss of any humanity there is. The only truth that they want to hear is their twisted version of it and there can be only theirs only.

That's an unfair assessment. I think shock and the question of "why?" is pretty universal after events like these, even in countries where this type of activity is more common. It doesn't help that the media always hypes these questions up. But hey, don't let me stop you from making generalizations.

This exactly, the US throughout its history is pretty rife with assassination attempts on its Presidents or candidates. If one studied US history these types of thing is not new.

What's new right now is the "conspiracy theory" level between the two party system and how mis information is pread. I'm pretty sure theres some dumbass out there in their basement "fapping" at the idea of a civil war now.

The amount of never-Trumpers who are currently seething with rage is... impressively high.

Not trying to start a war, but to assassinate someone, you need the will, and the way. In the U.K., a lot of these people are caught, because the way usually includes asking someone in a pub/chat room, for a gun or bomb. That someone is often the police.

In the USA, pretty much anyone can sort the way in an afternoon.

Separate point. It’s deeply ironic, assuming the shooter wanted to stop trump winning, and quite possibly has handed him the win.
