Sincerely hoping no Democrats or mainstream media feed into any conspiracies here. There will always be fringe people who push crazy, but if the President or any mainstream Dems push the idea that this was staged without hard, hard evidence, it’d be extremely disappointing, disingenuous, and hypocritical.Political rhetoric in this country is too extreme from both parties. Don’t think any reasonable person can deny that.
I absolutely rail on conservatives for their post truth narratives and seemingly the ease of which they buy into batshit conspiracy theories, and I would not be able to stand by and defend Democrats if they do the same here.
Hopefully in a few days we’ll have more facts on who the shooter was etc and BOTH sides will accept whatever those facts turn out to be (doubtful) and things will settle back into a relative norm, although the new normal in American politics is already pretty crazy.
