    One thing that’s obvious is he’s all over the map politically. Let’s see how studiously that fact gets avoided. It’s easy enough to hang one’s hat on the near-tautology that people that shoot at Trump don’t like him.

      Actually that was quite avoided in the previous assassination attempt.

      I guess my point about avoidance hit a nerve, as you've used it in your two follow-up posts. While avoiding the fact, as predicted. Get some rest.

        Putting aside the premature claim that not only do you know his motivations but have some degree of their magnitude, Just how large would you expect the Venn intersection of “consumed by TDS and existential threat narratives” and “Vivek 2024!” to be?

          A fascinating redirection towards a failed candidate who didn't do particularly well in the primaries and who's messaging is part of no mainstream I am aware of. Quality of avoidance? 2 out of 10.

                He had 3.5k followers, so, not an insignificant rando account. My guess is that he was pretty mainstream TDS for the most part.

                          I don't think either of us know where you are finding the contradiction. The guy posted about Trump's existential threat to democracy, that spells TDS. If you want to claim that Vivek trades in existential threat narratives, I won't disagree. I didn't claim TDS was the only source of existential threat narratives, but it is clearly the most pervasive and widely accepted. You don't actually have a point here, other than to get people talking about something other than the fact that this would be assassin is in your TDS tribe. Not that you're going to admit that.

                                Mainstream TDS. "Hates Trump like all reasonable people" - shooter's son. The extremism ("Hate") and the mainstream ("all reasonable people") are right there on the tin.

                                      Yeah, no real sense of what happened. Where he was, where Trump was, who shot first, etc. Maybe it’s out there now I just woke up.

                                        Secret Service opened fire when they saw him lift his rifle. Trump was on the fifth hole, on or around the green. Reports vary, but the would be assassin was somewhere around 300 yards away (some say as much as 500).

                                        Suspect fled the scene in a white vehicle and was caught by law enforcement on the highway. Officers found a scoped AK-47 style rifle, a Go-Pro and ceramic plates where the suspect left them.

                                        EDIT: vehicle was a black Nissan.
