    Certainly.

    I think it would have caused some insane repercussions that may have costed many more lives.

    He went 100% down the path of TDS.

    I would say that some in here are probably around 30-40% of the way. Unlikely to increase more, but their life might go to such levels of ****... maybe they end up on the local news one day.

    So the guy that tried to assassinate Trump was a big fan?

    From Grok:

    Ryan Wesley Routh (the individual involved in the 2024 attempted assassination of Donald Trump) does not neatly fit as a straightforward "liberal" in the typical U.S. political sense, though some of his actions and statements leaned in that direction at times.
    Here's a breakdown based on public records, his own statements, and reliable reporting:
    Voter registration: He originally registered as a Democrat in North Carolina in 1988 but switched to unaffiliated/independent around 2002 (with some interruptions due to felony convictions that temporarily removed him from voter rolls). He has remained unaffiliated since re-registering in 2012. He is not currently registered with any party, including no Republican affiliation.
    Voting and donations: He claimed to have voted for Donald Trump in 2016 (though records show he requested but did not cast a ballot that year). He later expressed deep regret over that choice, criticizing Trump harshly. He made small donations (totaling around $140) to Democratic causes via ActBlue in 2019–2020, voted in the Democratic primary in March 2024, and had a Biden-Harris sticker on his vehicle.
    Social media and expressed views: His posts showed evolving and inconsistent positions. He supported Bernie Sanders in 2020 (a progressive/left-leaning figure), criticized Joe Biden as "Sleepy Joe," backed Tulsi Gabbard (then a Democrat, later pro-Trump), and expressed interest in Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy (Republicans) as alternatives to Trump. He strongly opposed Trump in recent years, calling him names like "idiot" and "buffoon," and was passionate about supporting Ukraine against Russia (a position more commonly associated with liberals/Democrats in recent U.S. discourse, though not exclusively). In a later note/letter, he criticized both major parties (Democrats and Republicans) for conspiring against independents.
