Thoughts & Prayers for the Trump supporter Ryan W. Routh, who was arrested with an AK-47 in Florida (Literally, No One Cares about you Donald Trump)

    A non-assassination assassination attempt...  And understand no rightwinger on Twitter gives a fuck about Trump they are focused on blaming Democrats, calling for retribution, and inventing multi-layered conspiracy theories which they can monetize for their influencer brand.

Ryan Wesley Routh a 2016 Trump voter, who donated to key Trump advisor Tulsi Gabbard, and supported Republican Nikki Haley in the 2024 primary was carrying an AK-47 in a State, which not only fetishizes guns but has made it easier each and every year to get one, and enticed people to get more and more guns,

Florida’s gun laws are set to change on Saturday, (June 29, 2023) as licensing and training requirements that have been in place for decades have been altered to what's known as "Permitless Carry."  Gov. Ron Desantis originally signed the bill at the beginning of April.

Nearly half of all U.S. states already follow it, according to the U.S. Concealed Carry Association, but not everyone fully understands what's about to change in Florida.

"The biggest misconception is that people think they can carry the gun openly right on their side, just walk down the street. Permitless is not open carry," said Palm Beach County Sheriff' Rich Bradshaw. 

“Get excited. It’s going to be a good idea. It’s awesome for the Second Amendment, our freedom, but at the same time be responsible. It’s not free for all,” said Alex Shkop, who is the president of the Guns and Training Center in West Palm Beach, .

The number of guns in Florida has increased every year for the past five years. The data is based on the number of people with Concealed Weapons Licenses (CWL), according to figures from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. In 2018, that number was at more than 1.9 million Floridians. Fast forward to May 31, 2023 -- there were almost 2.8 million total number of licenses throughout the state.

Republicans don't care to do anything about gun violence.  So...  Should we care?  Sure, having political leaders threatened with gun violence is a massively destabilizing threat to any Nation especially one as fractured as the United States.  But, Donald Trump doesn't care about victims of gun violence as he said after ignoring a shooting in Iowa this year, 

“It’s just horrible, so surprising to see it here. But have to get over it, we have to move forward,” 

Actual victims of gun violence and their families have to get over it and move forward.  That's the standard Republicans have established.  Meanwhile, last week Donald Trump continues to make fun of Paul Pelosi, 2 years after he was the victim of an aggravated battery.  

Looks like Routh is suffering some sort of mental illness* but, after voting for Trump in 2016 he became disillusioned with Trump and changed support to Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy earlier this year.  You can read all the breaking revelations the Corporate Media will breathlessly report at whatever your favorite mainstream media site you prefer.  I'm sure there will be calls for a cooling of the heated rhetoric but, remember this is always always a one way street Democrats must be quiet but, Trump and Vance can further inflame their Neo-Nazi followers to threaten Haitian migrants and everyone else in Springfield, Ohio.

But, understand reality has nothing to do with Republicans anymore.  Republicans are aching for blood.  They are yearning to be unleashed to murder elected Democrats, ostracized Trans persons, Harris/Walz supporters, and anyone else they can get away with.  Traitor Trump has no intention of being a martyr but, I know MAGA would love to have Trump get killed because then they would have the unifying Cause they've been looking for as Trump's power, sanity, and mental stability wane.  Trump's death would galvanize the Right.  And the destruction they would unleash across the Nation would spell the end of the Constitutional Republic.

In case you were wondering how a mentally ill man would be able to get an AK-47, Trump signed an NRA lauded bill into law in Feb 2017 overturning a President Obama rule stopping mentally ill people from being able to buy guns.
