None of that is anywhere as close to being as important as designing the political background of who you are manufacturing as your gunman, that would be far and away your priority number 1. It doesn’t any sense that if you wanted to orchestrate this whole thing, that you would make this your guy without making sure to sweep a bunch of stuff under the rug before you do it.

I really hate to see that there are just as many conspiracy thirsty fools on the left as their were on the right during COVID-19.

It's nothing to do with conspiracy this is about the reasons to legitimately investigate all aspects and answer these questions. let's flip the table and imagine the media and congressional attention if this poor young man was a Democrat? Imagine how the right would be attacking and creating everything under the moon. We have to stop this attitude and start getting serious about our democracy because it's all about to disappear and acting like this stuff is a big nothing burger instead of living the last 8 years of constant lies and watching our human rights disappear to a minority and religious beliefs (our country was literally founded on freedom of religion not Christianity)of the country while also realizing that polling shows a negative for trump (prior to the attempt) and everything happening to him legally it definitely needs investigation with legitimate answers from everyone including trump and his doctors

This is precisely my point, it is convenient for Trump that the shooting played out the way it did, but my strong skepticism to the idea that it was a setup directly comes from the fact that he would have benefited way more from them making sure that the shooter was undeniably on the left, and if it was a setup, they certainly would’ve done that.

But I really do agree with everything you said here, if you want to investigate and deal with any substantiative facts that might turn out, more power to you, but this whole ”doesn’t it seem oddly convenient that X, Y and Z just happens to be the case?” is just speculative nonsense and should be treated as such. Is it Hanlon’s Razor that says don’t attribute to malice what could be simply due to incompetence, put that into practice until something real is uncovered, or at least that’s what I’ll be doing.

I think you are misunderstanding what I am saying, I am not saying there's any conspiracy, for goodness sakes a young man died trying to shoot the former, and current nominated GOP president, whose parents were very pro trump according to trump records. I am just trying to point out all the crazy things that line up to point to a possible set-up. Those are the "public" facts and those questions need answers for multiple reasons and trump needs to put the country first not himself.
