Biden wouldn't be that far off if he did.

The gunman was a registered Republican, his mother was a Democrat and his father a Libertarian [...]

...and...

One of the classmates, Zach Bradford, said he had taken American history and government classes with him, that he appeared to be “incredibly intelligent” and that his views in high school seemed “slightly right leaning.” [...]

...and...

Federal Election Commission records show that a donor listed as Thomas Crooks with the gunman’s street address gave $15 to Progressive Turnout Project, a Democratic-aligned political action committee, on Inauguration Day in January 2021 , when Crooks was 17. A spokesperson for Progressive Turnout Project said in an email that the group had received the donation “in response to an email about tuning into the inauguration” and that “the email address associated with the contribution only made the one contribution and was unsubscribed from our lists 2 years ago.” [around the time he registered Republican]

...and...

He's been described by former schoolmates as a loner who typically wore hunting gear. On Saturday, he was reportedly wearing a t-shirt from Demolition Ranch, a popular YouTube [gun] channel originating in Central Texas.

edit: and somebody below noted:

Former student Max R. Smith remembered Crooks as an intelligent classmate with conservative political leanings. Smith recalled participating in a mock debate in a course they took together, where their teacher posed questions on government policy and had students stand on opposite sides of the classroom to signal their support or opposition.

“The majority of the class were on the liberal side, but Tom, no matter what, always stood his ground on the conservative side,” Smith said. “That’s still the picture I have of him. Just standing alone on one side while the rest of the class was on the other. ... It makes me wonder why he would carry out an assassination attempt on the conservative candidate.”

Looks like an own-goal by MAGA/Trump.

Trump, ironically. Telling your supporters to kill pedophiles when you were a frequent flier on Epstein Air might turn out to be one of history's biggest own goals.

Increasingly looks like this kook was an own-goal by Trump/MAGA and not related to Democrat messaging about anything.
