People make donations to things they support. They don't just blindly make a donation because they feel like it. If that were the case, that would destroy Bernie Sanders entire campaign message, which I would point out was run very well. Bernie would constantly point out that the average campaign contribution was $27, which suggested the large base of support from your average every-day American citizen. 

This all started because of what Ryuu suggested:
Non political - WRONG. He shot at a former president

Mass shooting - WRONG. Media says this was an assassination attempt. 

My narrative is created based on indicators that I previously laid out. Ryuu's narrative is based on manufactured information and then attempts to tie this back to previous mass shootings. 

I mean, I've definitely donated money to things I didn't have a monumental attachment to. It's $15. It's not that serious. 

As for Ryuu's thoughts, they are mostly just his opinions. John Hinckley Jr tried to assassinate Reagan not for overtly political reasons, but because he wanted to impress Jodie Foster. We don't have enough information one way or the other to determine a motive in this case. It could have been a fame and opportunity thing (aka, motives similar to many mass shooters) and not a political thing. I don't know. Again, neither do you.

EDIT: Lol, pi guy beat me to the Hinckley anecdote...

Thank you for pointing out that Ryuu's posts are just opinions and not based on facts.
