Thomas Crooks the man who shot Trump is a registered Republican!

I’m gonna guess he’s a never Trump Republican.

He also donated $15 to actblue when he was 17. Maga is going to grab onto that as proof that he's "antifa in disguise" or some shit.

This is why I think the political boost from this is going to be very temporary. It's going to devolve into typical cable news partisan noise while we become numb to the fist picture being shown on repeat.

No. I hope you’re right, but I doubt it.

A lot of  liberals and leftists are coping that the shooter being a registered Republican changes things.

1. Trump supporters will just argue that his political violence is driven by the criticisms of Trump as a fascist and a threat to democracy, and also calling him a felon.

2. There’s nothing you can do about that image of Trump, throwing his fist in the air yelling fight after an assassination attempt. He looked so strong and fearless and defiant.

Honestly changes very little that the shooter was a registered Republican. This even takes away the argument that Trump was killed because he got rid of abortion or something, and it becomes more about him being demonized as a threat to democracy. he 100% is a threat to democracy and wants to be a dictator, but it becomes hard to argue this to people who don’t follow politics. He now looks like the victim and even worse he looks incredibly powerful.

I agree. People were always going to invent conspiracy theories either way.
