I’m seeing a bunch of posts insinuating that this most recent assassination attempt was fake. Why do people think this? I’m out of the loop.

    also its almost always a right wing rando

    Wouldn’t the idea of the attempted assasins being right wing speak against the idea of staging the assassination attempts? Half of Trump’s entire appeal and platform is victimhood so surely if you’re going to pretend someone tried to kill you, you’d pretend it was someone from the opposing side to your own politics to extract as much political capital from the incident as possible.
