I get that you aren't an American and likely don't understand the entire voting system, but there are other elections besides the presidential election every four years. We have elections ever 2 years that completely change the representatives in the House and a portion of the senators (since they have a 6 year term limit). So you can't just zero in on the presidential election, which happens every 4 years, as the sole reason for someone to shift their voter registration. There is strong evidence that he wanted to vote against republicans in 2022 and 2024 based on his actions (donating his money to the progressive campaign). The entire rest of your post is just making up a scenario to fit the expected outcome you desire. The fact is that this shooter donated money on January 20, 2021 to the Progressive Turnout Project. This is 14 days after January 6th, 2021. Here is the Progressive Turnout Project's Facebook post today: "It's simple people: Donald Trump is a threat to our democracy and another four years of him would be detrimental to our country." Source: https://www.facebook.com/turnoutpac/ The shooter therefore thought that Trump is a threat to American Democracy. Since he tried to kill Trump, the timing of his donation, and who he donate his money to, he is a radical progressive democrat by definition. That's the evidence we have. No made up scenario like you did. Just the facts. |
For what it's worth, this is the conclusion I'm closer to coming to by reading your posts instead of Ryuu's. If I had to guess (based on the facts), I'd say he was a democrat some years ago, then changed his mind later (he was a young person, and young people are more likely to still be looking for themselves and thus also change opinions), and ended up trying to assassinate Trump for what is currently an unknown reason: Ryuu's guess seems perfectly reasonable, or perhaps he was unhappy with Trump for some reason (maybe he thought Trump was a threat, maybe he though he was bringing down the Republican party/changing it to something it hasn't traditionally been, or maybe he thought Trump wasn't radical enough). Either way, concluding that he was a democrat seems like a hasty conclusion to me. It's not wrong to acknowledge that we simply don't know everything and might never do either - no need for hasty conclusions.
