Nearly 48 hours after the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, investigators are struck by the lack of leads they’re finding about Thomas Matthew Crooks’ mindset and possible motives for his attack.
The "lone gunman" always have the same motive, becoming an anti-hero instead of a looser. It doesn't really matter what went on in their sad little brains before the killing started. Usually it is some coked-up version of a fascist fairytale, but as said, they all have the same motive. Rewriting the story about their sad underdog lives. They are an homage to conservative rebellion against liberalism.
At first I was convinced he was going to be on the left and was registered to vote for the worst R in the primaries, but the more (or less) I learn about this person I'm starting to think he's one of the "old school" conservatives, who has conservative parents, and actually gives a fuck about conservativism, who just so happens to be a "quiet kid" with not much online presence.
One of the actual conservatives and not today's fake, Republican version of conservative.
It's kinda fucked in a way, leftists and centrist conservatives have almost no representation in government unless you consider most Democrats to be centrist conservatives but they why don't principled conservatives vote for them? All we have as far as representation are center left and far right...
the "actual conservatives" would be fine with all the same atrocities that fascists want if it had the right coat of paint and civility over it so they could feel good about it. MAGA weirdos aren't fake conservatives, they're if anything more honest conservatives. Less liberal veneer than old school republicans sometimes had, but the substance? it's not that different
Also to be clear, liberals are right wing under any meaningful definition
Nah I think he's your standard run-of-the-mill mass shooter. If Trump didn't happen to roll through his town he would have shot up a movie theater or school.
I hope the FBI doesn't bury the lead with this one, I really want to know why he did it.

Because the team they supported was a religion to them
