Part 2:

>Funny thing is both assassins was Republican voters, so much for the left boogieman.

were but I won’t be pedantic. We’re all human and we all make typos. The Pennsylvania assassin, Crooks, switched to be a registered Republican for this election so that he could vote for someone other than trump in the primaries and participate. The democrats did not hold a primary election in most states and in his state, the only way one could participate in the Democratic process of elections was to join the republican ticket. Obviously he wanted to participate in politics. It’s ironic that he decided to attempt to deprive everyone else of their right to participate in a democratic republic via their right to vote. Crooks Facebook wall was covered in solidly left-leaning, Democrat content and all of his political donations were to Democrat candidates. All of his actions were that of Democrat. It’s free to switch parties but it’s not free to donate money.

Routh, who has a mountainous criminal record, frequently posted about politics and exclusively donated to Democratic candidates and causes dating back to 2019. He was woefully uninformed about the russia Ukrainian war which is a war we never should’ve found ourselves in through our woefully negligent foreign policy. If we produced our oil in Alaska or Texas/Oklahoma instead of buying it from Iran and the gas station of Europe, Russia, they wouldn’t have had the money to wage war.

Our current administration has a policy of sending missiles, bombs, and bullets instead of just simply talking with the other side. Most bad relationships are caused by bad communication and the same applies to foreign policy. According to Tucker Carlson whom was the first and only American to actually interview Vladimir Putin in quite a long time showed us many things in his interview including how threatening it was to continue raising talks to include Ukraine in NATO, tariff their natural gas pipelines, and other things most people were simply unaware of.

Routh sadly didn’t know the details or intricacies about a war that should’ve never happened in the first place. He should’ve been put in an army and sent to Ukraine because he wanted to die for a cause. I have an uncommon view which is that we should’ve sent soldiers to Ukraine (who volunteered to go like him as that was his primary advocacy) instead of just money, weapons, and perhaps paid mercenaries. But that’s mostly due to my financial concern over the debt our country is in. On a lesser note, all of the man haters in our country can see what happens when there’s suddenly supply shortages for men and they realize they’ve been taking men for granted. Post WW2 was pretty prosperous for America and all genders should feel appreciated. But we can’t afford much and I can sure see why that didn’t happen though in the age of a potential WW3 or nuclear war. Nuclear weapons didn’t exist pre-WW2 and Bioweapons were less advanced back then.

All in all they were misinformed and confused democrats. They all donated to democrat candidates and made posts indicating they were democrats. They were also okay with trying to cheat to win. It’s very common for democrats to project, by making untrue claims such as “[Republicans] are people that advocate the murdering of democrats”, when it’s really more of the other way around judging by those two assassination attempts.

Trump talked about putting Hillary in jail, but when he was president he didn’t because he didn’t believe in persecuting political opponents. He just said it for the entertainment value on stage. People forget that above all else he’s an entertainer. Many Republicans were persecuted; even Steve Bannon was put in jail. I understand some people are mad because he’s generally regarded as the prime reason Trump got into the White House the first time. I even made a comment about that regarding Bannon here on HN years ago when I was a solid-blue liberal all the way through. Coincidentally afterwards he was thoroughly investigated by powerful upset liberals until they could discover some charges on him. I do feel a little bit of guilt in being one of the first to raise public awareness about Bannon and possibly being the one that lead to his investigation and subsequent arrest… but it looks like he’ll be pardoned soon from being kept as a political prisoner. I don’t believe in persecuting political opponents like our left leaning DOJ does. Claims such as “[Republicans] are people that advocate the murdering of democrats” are simply untrue and is just another projection. Perhaps it’s understandable why I labeled that inflammatory rhetoric. At least, now you have a full answer.

>I recognize that the left is so terrified of someone shaking up their world view with the real truth that they lash out like a venomous snake afraid of the truth and god forbid actually seeing the other perspective. That pushes all of the moderates to the right side. The moderates and the independents decide all of the elections. Probably because we’re able to see through the smoke & mirrors and see the truth. >You can recognize things and yet you cannot recognize "left's" concern, a real centrist would be able to understand the plight of both sides and yet here you are unable to do so.

I can recognize the plight of both sides because I’ve been a Democrat my whole life. That’s why I’m able to walk talk and act like a Democrat if I want to. But I didn’t see why I should vote for someone that goes against all of my interests in every single way. It’s quite sad how cooked this economy is. After you share the current country you’re in and your current country of residence, feel free to share with me what your top chief issues are and I’ll hear what your plight is, regardless of what what you say. I might not agree with everything you say, but I’ll certainly give you a platform to speak it and I will certainly read it.
