    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.
