The wingnut media explanation for Robert Bowers will be:

Trump on synagogue shooting: "We should stiffen up" death penalty laws

He also said "we should stiffen up our laws in terms of the death penalty."

"When people do this they should get the death penalty," he said. "And they shouldn't have to wait years and years. ... And, I think they should very much bring the death penalty into vogue."

Mr. Trump, speaking to reporters at Andrews Air Force Base, said the violence "has to stop."

It's a "terrible thing what's going on with hate in our country," he said.

Your Duncan Hines cake fell after removal from the oven? Take a concealed carry class.

If you quote them objective statistics that you are far more likely to shoot yourself or a loved one, they will answer with some story of a pretty 30 year old mom shooting an intruder who happened to be an illegal murdering sex fiend. If you point out Sandy Hook, Las Vegas, Columbine, etc. they will tell you that if the kids, teachers, popcorn sellers, administrators, and projectionists had access to long-gun open carry with high capacity clips, everything would have been just fine - and then they will tell some story of a pretty 30 year old mom shooting an intruder who happened to be an illegal murdering sex fiend. By pretty, I mean white and blonde.

Mental health. Thoughts and prayers. Armed teachers. Build wall.

He brought hate to a rolling boil.
What did he think was going to happen ?
Premeditated plan, by design, intentional.
Surprise, surprise !

Long ago he calculated this Nazi screamfest was to his electoral advantage and by intentional design conducted himself accordingly to achieve this desired result.

Again, Fuck trDump !

I'm certain that's what many Trump Deplorables are thinking.

The vast majority of Trump supporters I encounter are White Christian Evangelicals of various sorts.

Clueless.

They're taking comfort in the fact they don't go to the sorts of churches a Nazi would shoot up.

When Trump says he's a nationalist they know he's like them, because big white father Christian God and his white Son and his Casper the friendly Ghost white Holy Spirit are nationalists like them, blessings to our white Christian nation.

Had He been in that Temple today, the rifle, not the cross, would be the symbol of Christians.
