    Seems like he voted and supported for Trump, got disappointed by Trump, listened to Trump’s and Republicans’ call for political violence to solve political problems.

    And here we are, leopards are now eating their faces.

      According to NC voter rolls he did not vote in 2016 or 2020. Voted in the Democratic primary in March but social media post were all over the place. Unwell mind

      So he’s a jaded Trump voter. See this is what I had expected the first one to be, but it turns out he just hated politicians and picked the first idiot that showed up in his town. That idiot just so happened to be the orange one. This crazy person actually had buyers remorse and… uh… wanted a refund or something? Anyway he’s a loser and a failure now, just like Trump. So now at least they have that in common.

        Giving habitually violent repeat offenders more reasons to be violent is always an issue.

        Manson didn’t go to jail for murdering anyone. Manson went to jail because he conspired and convinced other people to murder for him.

          the reason could simply have been a severe dislike of Trump, not necessarily that he was pushed to violence by Trump’s rhetoric.

    Routh remains listed an active unaffiliated voter in North Carolina, according The News & Observer, a McClatchy publication in North Carolina. As unaffiliated voters can choose which primary they want to vote in the state, Routh voted in the Democratic primary when he cast a ballot this spring.

    Was he a Trump supporter?

    Routh, according to the New York Post and archives of his X account, said he voted for Trump in 2016. “I and the world hoped that president Trump would be different and better than the candidate, but we all were greatly disappointment and it seems you are getting worse and devolving; are you retarded; I will be glad when you gone,” Routh posted.

    I got curious and did a stupid thing of checking on a certain sub. There must be 15 or so posts about this, quickly trying to point out all the reasons that it couldn’t be one of their own.

    I guess the NYTimes interviewed home back in 2023?

    Did he volunteer to fight in Ukraine war?

    In 2023, Routh told the New York Times he spent several months in Ukraine amid the war with Russia. He also said he had tried recruiting Afghan soldiers who opposed the Taliban to fight in Ukraine.

      A fucking spook cut-out trafficking mercenaries from Afghanistan to Ukraine goes rogue and takes a pot shot at a presidential candidate?

      This is going to give conspiracy nuts a hard on for the next five years, easy. What are the odds Jack Ruby plugs him a few times in the gut on national camera before the end of next week?
