Donald Trump declared that "the bullets are flying" and warned and "it will only get worse" on Monday, one day after a second attempt on his life.

Paraphrasing his psychotic post that they are discussing in this article: “Bullets are flying, the war has begun, the Immigrant Problem must be brought to a final solution!”

      This guy was liberal…however…it’s not confirmed he actually fired a bullet (or was even there for Trump…I’m not convinced it wasn’t just Florida man sleeping in the bushes)

        “Liberal” in the sense that he supported Ukraine, but he also voted for Trump and owned automatic rifles.

        No political party or ideology has the market cornered on crazy, but one party has nominated an insane dictator as their leader and candidate. One party repeatedly spreads lies and conspiracy theories, challenges science and rational thought, and encourages fringe ideology for the purposes of profiting from chaos.

        This was a white, Christian gun nut whose social media history paints a picture of a disillusioned Trump supporter with delusions of grandeur. Calling him “liberal” is a gross oversimplification.

          Source for him being a long time registered republican?

          As far as I can tell from here, this guy seems all over the place. He voted for Trump in 2016 but later regretted it. He supported Sanders in 2020, but also Gabbard in 2020 and then Vivek Ramaswamy in 2024. He shows strong support for Ukraine, but he supported Covid conspiracies as late as 2023. Multiple felonies, many of which firearm related, some of which related to theft and traffic violations.

          It’s not like I can say I know the guy, but I get the sense that he has severe undiagnosed mental illness, which is perhaps more important than his exact political leaning.

            I stand corrected, he is not a long time registered Republican but did vote for Trump. Still, nothing to say he is a “liberal” in my opinion, Ukraine is not a partisan issue except for US providing our old supplies/ weapons
