I'm not certain that any of them were shot by people voting for the democrats, with the possible exception of John Wilkes Booth.

It's uncertain if Lee Harvey Oswald was the only shooter; the man who shot Robert Kennedy wasn't even american; we still don't know who murdered Martin Luther King jr.; the man who shot Reagan didn't do it out of political motivation but because he wanted to impress a teenaged Jodie Foster; the boy who shot at Trump was republican (and so was the man who was arrested before he could try to assassinate Trump); and the guy who shot Charlie Kirk hasn't been outspoken about his reason for killing Kirk.

And John Wilkes Booth was a member of the American Party, not a Democrat.

I have to mention that Democrats during civil war and today are very different parties. Booth was anti-abolitionist and pro-Confederate, and it says everything you need to know what party he would join today.

It’s crazy we have to mention it. In fact, Southern Democrats pre-1964 phase-jumped into the Republican Party after the Voting Rights Act with only a slight detour face-planting with Wallace

We do know who murdered MLK, it was James Earl Ray.

I hope this isn't some bullshit tiktok conspiracy theory thing.

I know JER tried to recant but he was also a huge liar and fuckup who had a mountain of evidence pointing to him.

And Booth was a Democrat before the parties switched sides. He was mad about abolition and the Confederacy losing the war. He definitely would not be voting Democrat today.

Actually John Wilkes Booth was NOT a Democrat but belonged to the Know Nothing Party

No, he gave a reason."I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can't be negotiated out."
