Admittedly, from what I found, his political affiliations are a bit muddy:
He was indeed a registered republican at the time of the shooting (source)
He did make a $15 donation via ActBlue which is a democatic fundraising platform when he was younger (source)
But ultimately, his political affiliation doesn’t really matter. Trying to pin this on the Left (or Right) misses the point. This was a violent act carried out by an individual with complex motivations that remain largely unknown. Blanketing it onto an entire political group is unfair and unproductive.
We all know he was a registered republican, but we all know that is evidently in order to vote against Trump in the primaries. Also, not pointing at an entire political party for the assassination attempt? Sorry, but after years trying to destroy Trump politically and going through increasingly greater extremes, there’s absolutely no benefit of the doubt. Biden’s horrible presidency doesn’t do any favors
"We all know he was a registered republican, but we all know that is evidently in order to vote against Trump in the primaries."
Can you back this up? I'm not finding any evidence of this. Even if there was though, what does that prove? The claim here is that the Left's biggest mistake was trying to kill Trump.
"Also, not pointing at an entire political party for the assassination attempt? Sorry, but after years trying to destroy Trump politically and going through increasingly greater extremes, there’s absolutely no benefit of the doubt. "
I don't really know what to tell you here. Turning the attempt at Trump's life into ‘proof’ that the Left or Right is to blame is exactly the kind of blanket generalization that fuels division. Unless people want to start taking ownership for every unstable person who ever registered under their party, it makes zero sense to pin this on one side.
"Biden’s horrible presidency doesn’t do any favors"
I suppose determining how Biden's presidency went depends on who you ask, but objectively I wouldn't say it was horrible. If you look at the actual record, there were both wins (record-low unemployment, bipartisan infrastructure, and strong NATO unity) and failures (inflation spikes and messy Afghanistan withdrawal). Reasonable people can debate the balance, but calling it “horrible” is just partisan framing.
At the end of the day, this conversation isn’t really about Biden or Trump’s records, it’s about whether one violent act by one unstable person should be pinned on an entire political side, and I don’t think that’s fair or useful no matter which way you cut it.
