The attempt isn't the crazy part. The crazy part is him stopping SS to fist pump, when we were all expecting him to piss his pants at the first sign of danger.
To be clear, I'm not advocating the theory, as I happen to believe he did piss his pants.
If all goes as Trump and his coattail-riders have explicitly stated they intend it to, by this time next year (if not sooner), the United States will be some combination of plutocratic and christofascist autocracy ruled by an all-powerful dictator.
I don't think it's particularly surprising or unreasonable for people facing that prospect to grab at any fleeting hope that might drift by, no matter how desperate and irrational.
In fact, that's a well known dynamic among people with a terminal illness. Which is what all Americans other than the coming ruling class and their followers very much are.
im the conspiracy theorist, im the one trying to do google maps ballistics. i want to see clear images of the wound. i feel like shooting a couple civilians isnt among the worst things people in power have done to maintain power.
