A shooting at Donald Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania is being investigated as an attempted assassination. A shooter is dead and an attendee was killed.
Right now, all we know is he is a registered Republican, but that is meaningless by itself. It is common for Democrats to register as Republicans to vote in the primary.
That doesn’t mean he wasn’t a Republican, but we do not know at this point in time.
We know he donated 15 dollars to a blue group. By itself, once again meaningless.
I get people want to jump to conclusions and speculate, but we do not know much about the situation at this time.
Many people are focusing on it but he gave 15 dollars one time several years ago. It’s puzzling when matched with his republican registration but neither gives much insight at this point.
Had he given a million dollars, that’d be more interesting.
Context is something that most people can’t grasp on lemmy. I have donated to aoc before. I don’t agree with her on much but I like that she’s working with republicans to try to get things done. That doesn’t mean I’m lefty, it just means I want to support people who are trying to work together
I mean, multiple former classmates have already stated he’s been a well-known conservative for much of his life, including at school in one class he was the only one.
You can’t explain this away or blame the other side for this one. This was a full-on anti-trump Republican conservative.

Right, which is why it’s a bit odd that OP chose to highlight the one single fact as the entire headline for this article.
