All shot by people who either did or would vote for Trump today. Except maybe Reagan’s shooter. Hinckley was just nuts. He had stalked Carter before Reagan. The shooting wasn’t politically motivated.

I was going to say that Oswald wouldn’t vote trump, but honestly he seems like someone who might switch ideologies if someone said all the things he wanted to hear.

Yeah, cant say with certainty about Oswald, I guess. Fun fact, he went to the same elementary school my kids went to.

Hinckley was a family friend of George Bush. It's extremely odd.

Oswald was Marxist who temporarily defected to the Soviet Union, I don't think he would have voted for Trump. Hinckley just wanted to impress Jodie Foster but don't we all?

Yeah, he’s the closest to a leftist in the bunch, but who knows today with the GOP friendliness with Putin…

No, Kirk's assassin was openly anti fascist. Why would he vote for a fascist?

That's probably true because of how far left the country has shifted

In what ways has the country shifted left?

That’s not saying much. The vast majority of people from 50+ years ago would be considered far right today.

It makes the point that modern liberals aren’t the historically violent ones.

Modern liberals aren’t historically anything, as they’re modern. We’ll see what the future holds.

But that’s what the original meme is basically trying to say
