    All Republicans are facists. Maybe it wasn’t true at one time but in my lifetime it has been the case and they’ve gotten so extreme that democrats are what republicans were in the 80s

      Are you saying that you think being fascist was his motivation for shooting at Trump?

          What I think is that to learn someone has attempted a deadly attack, then learn that their voter registration is with a particular party, and conclude that this tells you everything you could possibly need to know about the motivation of the attack is bizarrely reductive. I asked if you thought fascism was the motivation for the attempted Trump shooter’s actions because your previous reply had shifted the conversation to fascism and I was trying to understand what you perceived as its relevance to the conversation. I was not, in any way, attempting to defend fascism, and I’m kinda troubled to have given anyone that impression.

          In any case I think this conversation is getting unproductive. I’m sorry I got you riled.

            I’m not riled but I don’t agree with you. I do think your inferences of emotion based on nothing are weird and reflect poorly on you.
