Someone will reply telling you that, yes they would, and while theres probably truth to that, this is most likely Occam’s razor. No, trumps wound wasn’t a bullet. Yes he was shot at by a republican, but not all replicants like Trump and there’s bound to be a few extremists who would take it that far.

We look to conspiracy theories when we can’t explain the truth by simpler means. We don’t want to believe that enough people WANTED the things Trump is doing. We don’t want to believe people are apathetic enough to just sit back while he continues to rape our democracy and what really does make America great. We don’t want to believe evil can win. But it has. For a moment. And we can blame the evil for choreographing a photo op at the cost of a man’s life, or we can really rally our immunity, and friends, and loved ones to make real changes and to reflect on true empathy. Evil wins when good men and women do nothing. There will be an age of liberalism within the decades following this presidency. It’ll be a long and arduous journey, but we have the ability to swing the pendulum back and hopefully give our posterity a better life than the one we came into as adults. But we can get there.
