    I suspect that the individual who made the assassination attempt was most likely one of those really unhinged corporate neo-liberals that fanatically believes that Donald Trump is secretly “a Russian agent.” Even though Trump’s actual foreign policies as president were just as anti-Russia as any of his predecessors (his administration continued fully supporting and arming the fascist Maidan dictatorship in Kiev). Just pointing this out, because it’s only a matter of time before someone starts falsely accusing socialists/communists of being responsible.

      They already are.

      Not to mention that republicans think Biden has “socialist policies” and every other conservative thinks anyone marginally to their left is a leftist.

      Deranged behaviour all around.

      Or maybe he was a dissatisfactioned chud for whom Trump was not far right enough. Anyway, recruited from the persistent stochastic shooters pool.
