    Seems like he voted and supported for Trump, got disappointed by Trump, listened to Trump’s and Republicans’ call for political violence to solve political problems.

        Routh, according to the New York Post and archives of his X account, said he voted for Trump in 2016.

        “I and the world hoped that president Trump would be different and better than the candidate, but we all were greatly disappointment and it seems you are getting worse and devolving; are you retarded; I will be glad when you gone,” Routh posted.

        Giving habitually violent repeat offenders more reasons to be violent is always an issue.

        Manson didn’t go to jail for murdering anyone. Manson went to jail because he conspired and convinced other people to murder for him.

          the reason could simply have been a severe dislike of Trump, not necessarily that he was pushed to violence by Trump’s rhetoric.
