My running theory is he is a moderate republican who, after January 6th, realized Trump is going to kill democracy. He donated shortly after, but with the recent uncertainty decided solve the problem with his own hands. Unfortunately, he made a rookie mistake and held his breath instead of breathing out before taking the shot, didn't properly sight in his scope, and / or just choked.
I'm not in anyway supporting any form of violence let alone an assassination attempt on a former president. This is not the way to conduct democracy, there are much better ways to address the current issues. I am merely trying to point out why he was so close but still missed his target as if it were a paper target not a living being who, regardless of transgressions, doesn't deserve to have their life taken from them.
Criticism is welcome and appreciated

Sure you aren't 🙄 some kid was radicalised and died and another innocent man died thanks to the likes of you
Excuse me if I fail to shed a tear for a front row supporter of a mass-murdering domestic terrorist and literal admitted fascist. Got a spray bottle?
Going to a rally doesn't make you an automatic supporter. Rallies are supposed to inform voters.
Let's not play dumb here, we've all seen Trump rallies and the way the crowd behaves. They are all in maga hats, they're not going there for info, they're going there to simp.
Have you seen the audience at Trump’s rallies? There’s zero undecided voters in that circus.
You opinions are yours, but I honestly don't want anyone shot, or think they have to shoot someone. I just read too much, and think too much. Theories are theories and nothing more I nearly speaking in the sense of his point of view.
