Also, the wackos keep turning out to be Republicans... So, despite Elon Musk being a chode who insinuated Democrats are behind the attempts, it seems a lot more likely that their own affinity for random conspiracy theories is "the root cause." Or that Trump looks weak & someone would like Vance.

Even though he's arguably even less charismatic & just as terrible. If the only 2 options are "Joe & Kamala put a hit on Trump & chose a random, incompetent crazy person" or "Peter Thiel hangs out on discord trying to talk some crazies into promoting JD to president" which is more likely? :P
