        Can’t someone ask him what his motives were?

        You assume the FBI, secret service, and every other 3 letter agency who can get access to his cell aren’t doing exactly that?

        Given his biography, I would expect a string of conspiracy laden answers and generally incoherent explanations, though.

          But isn’t that the most honest answer. Some form of mania. The GOP want us to live in a world where only democrats can ignite extremist violent outbursts. All while courting extremists. If the democrats rhetoric makes people violent then surely the GOPs rhetoric will do the same?

          I dunno. I’m trying to apply logic to an illogical argument. So much of the time we should just shut these people off and work are hardest to deplatform them rather then just fact checking. It’s a type of pollution, which is fine in small doses, but it’s destroying the public square. That and all the shameless advertisments.

        Do we even know he wanted to hurt Trump in the first place? He made no attempt at attacking him, he was just hiding with a weapon. Which might have been in order to protect Trump from assassins as far as we know. Did anyone ask?

          Seems like we all went to our default internet sleuthing because the gunman is always dead. Maybe, like, someone could check in on him. I’m pretty sure it’s legal and such. Might need like permission but the dude still has rights until his trails complete.

    When you train your base to be militant whenever they don’t get their way, you can be assured that you will always be on the chopping block. Look up the French revolution. Or even the fascist uprisings in Germany and Italy. I fighting will happen because you created an environment in which decent is punishable with death.

    they also called the jan 6th people “antifa”.

    The funniest possible outcome is if Biden pardoned the dude.

      Imo, saying you want to be “dictator day 1” this is the obvious outcome. This is 100% Trump’s own statements that caused this.

    Why does everyone in that picture look like they’re standing in front of fun house mirrors?

    (I know what the obvious answer is, it just caught me off guard.)
