I’m of the opinion he is just a Republican and just like every other Republican he is mentally ill and too proud to admit to it. They have guns and fantasize about violence. He may have been ostracized and this was his “I’ll show them” moment.
I understand the want to paint things in black and white, especially in these kind of extreme circumstances. However, the “two party” system has an insane variety of greys. I’d love to be able to say “Republican = Bad” “Democrats = good” but that’s not how the world works. There are as many ‘good’ Republicans as ‘bad’ Democrats. You’re good if you work for the people your bad if you don’t. I generally disagree with blanket statements but everyones opion matters
wait… i agree that being a democrat doesn’t make you good at all, in fact if you identify with the party you’re more likely to be bad. but if you’re a republican you’re absolutely, one hundred percent bad. what the fuck kind of redeeming qualities does the republican party even pretend to have anymore? it’s an openly fascist party.
I generally try to give the benefit of the doubt, being in Nebraska I know quite a few true Republicans who regret voting for Trump the first time, voted for biden begrudgingly and can’t believe what’s happened to their party. Obviously they haven’t been paying attention for years and Trump and the MAGAts finally woke them up.
That being said I completely agree with your overall view of our current political catastrophe.
I’m not painting him other than Republican with a mental illness. It fits the mold for many other shooters. It is “bad” as you put it, if they keep shooting people.
