This is probably a byproduct of this nationalism thing, fomented by Trump himself.
This guys media is pretty ick, but it’s worth noting that he presents most closely as Libertarian, and wears flags. And his hair is blue and white in conjunction with a red face.
I think these people shooting at him are a byproduct of what trump stirred up and encouraged in 2016. You don’t just get one thing. It’s not a homogenous mix of people, it’s a large mob of folks. You also get the Jan 6 crowd. You also get this guy. And other guys like him, wherever they are right now.
It’s people being people. They are multi faceted. The crowd he awakened in 2016 isn’t just one type of person. It’s everything from “yay, community” in a rather g rated wave a flag sense to Jan 6 people, including the shaman, to this guy and the kid who shot before him. We don’t know, he and the shaman may have had a beer together at one point. Even if they didn’t, it’s plausible, and that’s my point. Same crowd, different facets.
And the kid who was shot by secret service? Wasn’t he pissed about Trumps association with Epstein and the rape charges? Again. That’s people being people. It’s not right or good, but it’s human motive. Believe hard enough in someone then when these guys feel that belief is betrayed, then what?
.
What happens between these guys and Trump when their belief in him shatters?
.
This is some serious shit. Feels like we may be starting on the momentum of a spiral. Which is terrifying.

Mobs cannot be reliably wielded for long, as Mussolini found out.
