I think bad decisions influence him cause he was younger than me. It makes me want to know what happened in his life he was able to buy an AR-15 at 22 I think. He had a good life going and it’s like no he tried to shoot Trump and I wonder why? I don’t see how you can just hate someone that much to also end your life over.
Most people do not go out and attempt an assassination. That alone is an indication of some sort of psychotic break. Evidence may not have been made public yet or there may not be any. The only person who knew for sure is dead.
To add to this, he had looked up several targets, including Biden. So it was likely as you say, a psychotic break followed by lashing out, rather than a partisan choice.
He probably didn’t hate Trump. He seemed to be targeting a bunch of politicians. He was probably either mad at politics, or just trying to be famous.

I also read he was researching Biden too, suggesting he didn’t care which one he could target. My guess is that he figured trump would be easier.
So you think he didn’t just want to be famous, he wanted to be infamous?

No, but speculate we shal!
All signs point to depression + disillusionment imo. He seems to be targeting the most convenient major political figure available. With the system being as inexorably broken as it is, it makes sense.
Not truly. We can make guesses and assumptions. But probably not really know it
I am sure that some information and reasoning will emerge at some point, after they’ve looked through his phone, computer, home and talked to people who knew him.
My best guess is he was hoping to kick off the Christian jihad/civil war by creating a martyr. He knew the maga folks would believe he was a Democrat plant and run with it.
That’s been my theory as well.
‘We’ as in any humans vs no humans? Yes. ‘We’ already know. And ‘we’ likely knew before. ‘We’ just didn’t find the needle in the hay stack soon enough.
But ‘we’ as in you and I? No. ‘We’ may never know anything. And, ‘we’ certainly won’t know everything. It’s on a need to know basis, and ‘we’ don’t need to know.
Not really. It’s like with any mass shooter case where the shooter kills themselves. It’s frustrating because we’ll never know what in their mind, got them to do what they did. So we’re all going to be spending lots of time just simply speculating and having hot takes.
Unless you can talk to dead people I don’t think so.
Have you heard of CIA? Or Malcom X? Or Martin Luther King? Or John Kennedy?
