I’m not a fan of this point of view because I don’t think we fully understand the motives of either shooter. The first’s motive seems ambiguous, at best. It’s too soon to know for the second. You could technically call them Republican voters based on social media history, but I heard the second shooter became disillusioned with Trump sometime after 2016, which is why I feel like comments like this are leading us into a direction we aren’t yet ready to go. Either way, people want to pin these events on a political motive and in the end they may be no more politically motivated than some of the clearly apolitical school shootings.
I blame Trump for his own outcome though. To shit on victims of gun crime and to shit on everybody in general in such a public space, for the President of the United States of all things, is not going to end well for anybody.
Whatever they were, they weren’t leftist radicals or even Democratic superfans taking political inspiration from establishment candidates like Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. That’s the important part. We don’t know what their actual motive was, but there’s no indication Democrats using disapproving language had any realistic impact.
We can keep an open mind without accepting their implausible narrative.
