I'm really not understanding. He was supposedly a MAGAt, but he blew up Elon's truck at a Trump building. What the hell was his point?
I guess he figured he'd get more attention for his manifesto if he blew himself up using basically the 2 just talked about symbols. Unfortunately for him, someone else decided to do something similar in New Orleans and killed more people.
And yet we’re all talking about him and not New Orleans.
It's been relatively equal from what I've seen around both traditional media and fediverse posts.
Well, there's your answer. Do you really expect logic from these guys?
Why is it always Republicans that cause violence?
Probably because conservatism comes from fear and hate, and those are pretty violent emotions. Someone with a lot of empathy, that sees other people as whole humans, is less likely to be right-wing and also less likely to do violence + terrorism.
