victimhood narrative.
Isn't that a correct narrative since there was, in fact, a victim?

Looking forward to seeing how the MAGA elite spin this into their victimhood narrative.
Something something wanted to attend Biden's rally as a fan, brainwashed liberal, etc. etc.
He probably should have also googled shooting ranges in the area
I can laugh at this! Haha. Also, on an unrelated note, I don't wish death or violence on anyone
Imagine if this guy chose to use a Tor browser for everything he searched. What a bizarre assassination attempt.
would still have missed the shot
Tor users don't miss 😎
I mean didn't we basically know this shit day three?
We also "knew" a bunch of other theories at the time, like his twitter implied it was Epstein related (I think, whole thing was murky).
This is more or less confirming a singular theory. Looks like he just did it because he believed he could. Maybe for legacy or infamy or just general importance.
The irony is that the assassination attempt itself has basically become irrelevant. The Vance couch meme currently has a bigger impact than this.
Now that the government has a hold of it we'll never know the true motive only what they tell us
And we're so much better off with the Trump campaign imploding as it is than having the Republicans exploiting Trump's martyrdom had the assassin succeeded.
