What About Jerry Ford?
Perhaps because President Ford was never hit.
But he was a target on two separate occasions by two women in September 1975, in California. The first was a Manson cult member, the second an FBI informant turned left-wing activist.

Abraham Lincoln.
Shot by John Wilkes Booth. Booth was pro-slavery, pro confederacy, a white supremacist, and anti-immigration. He was very conservative for the time. He was not a registered member of the Democratic Party.
John F. Kennedy.
Shot by Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald was a Marxist who defected to the Soviet Union. He had no demonstrated ties to the Democratic Party.
Robert F Kennedy.
Shot by Sirhan Sirhan. Sirhan’s political affiliations weren’t aligned with American parties. He was far more concerned with opposing Israel than anything else. He was not a democrat, in fact Robert and John Kennedy were BOTH democrats with a strong position of support for civil rights.
Martin Luther King Jr.
Shot by James Earl Ray.
Ray was part of the American Independent party, deeply segregationist, and very racist. He was not a democrat. Investigation concluded that there was probably a conspiracy which aided him, but it’s most likely that members came from similarly like minded and radical far right groups.
Ronald Reagan.
Attacked by John Hinckley Jr.
Hinckley was not politically motivated to attack Reagan. He was, I shit you not, trying to hook up with actress Jodie Foster.
Donald Trump
Attacked by Thomas Matthew Cooks and Ryan Wesley Routh.
Crooks was a registered Republican who at one point donated $15 to a progressive voter turnout group. He was not a democrat. No convincing political motivation has yet been put forth.
Routh at one point supported Trump, but later supported Biden and Harris. His actual registration was unaffiliated. He was deeply critical of Trump (obviously), but he was not exactly a democrat partisan.
Charlie Kirk.
Alleged to have been shot by Tyler Robinson.
Robinson was not a registered Democrat, he was an inactive voter who is listed as unaffiliated. His political leanings are actively being discussed as part of his trial. He is innocent until proven guilty.

Slight correction: Oswald was a Marxist, did go to the Soviet Union, became so disenchanted with Communism he left and completely flipped to being Fascist.

Literally none of them were.
John Wilkes Booth was a Know Nothing and Confederate, but never a Democrat.
Lee Harvey Oswald was a Communist, not a Democrat.
Sirhan Sirhan isn't even American. He's not a supporter of any US political party.
James Earl Ray didn't support either major party, and the only time he is known to have been involved in politics was supporting the independent campaign of Segregationist George Wallace, and only in the period where Wallace split from the Democratic Party to run on the American Independent Party ticket.
John Hinckley jr is a neo-Nazi (and son of a major GOP donor) who shot Reagan because of his insane delusions not politics.
Thomas Matthew Crooks was a Republican.
Tyler Robinson is unaffiliated, and didn't have any history of supporting any political party. The closest he came was wearing a pro-Trump Halloween costume in 2017.

Remember Trump said, I think earlier this week or late last, how diesel prices are high because Zelenskyy hit a Russian oil refinery at the time he said that? I thought wow, he’s losing his ability to lie … no one will believe that. Everyone knows gas and diesel have been high much before that, with a quick peek at data showing the prices started going up when Trump started this senseless war.

Abraham Lincoln: shot by a conservative Confederate sympathiser who was part of the Know Nothing Party; he would vote Republican today, seeing as today's Republicans all seem to know nothing. Lincoln himself was a progressive liberal and would be a Democrat today.
JFK: shot by a Communist Soviet sympathiser who also hated the Democrats. JFK was a Democrat himself.
RFK: shot by an Islamist extremist who also hated the Democrats. RFK was a Democrat himself.
MLK Jr: shot by a racist who supported the Segregationist platform of Independent candidate George Wallace; other Segregationists had at the time already largely moved to the Republican party. MLK Jr himself supported Civil Rights Democrats.
Ronald Reagan: shot by a deranged psycho to try to impress an underaged actress, not for political reasons; however, he was known to be a Neo-Nazi whom other Neo-Nazis thought was too violent and dangerous to be part of their group, and had supported George H.W. Bush.
Donald Trump: shot at by a kid who by all known facts about him appeared to be a conservative, he was registered Republican, but who apparently had no political motives, as he simply chose Trump as the most convenient and immediate target out of several political figures he had searched the schedules of - he just wanted fame. The other two alleged attempted assassins, an ex-MAGA and a liberal, never fired a shot.
Charlie Kirk: shot by an apparent conservative Republican.

Facts don’t matter to Republicans. Propaganda is what matters most to them. Of course they are the party of fake news, but not fake facts. Many of their “facts” are made up and construed to put out non factual propaganda. Comparing anything Republican prior to Reagan to today’s Republicans/MAGAs is ludicrous. They were the progressive party. To say Lincoln was shot by a Democrat, which is inaccurate because Booth was aligned with the American Party would seriously be like saying he was shot by a modern day Republican due to the ideological flip flop of the parties. There is really no need to compare modern day Republicans nor Democrats to those of 100 years ago. Remember the Southern Democrats? They are the bright red soul of the Republican Party in the South now. They are the racist bigots who were once called Dixiecrats. Before you buy into Republican propaganda, put it into perspective and do your research. You might just be talking more so about modern day Democratic ideology rather than past Republican ideology.

Summary of the Meme's Inaccuracy
The meme relies on completely fabricated partisan alignment. Of the 7 men pictured: • One was shot by a registered Republican (Trump / Crooks) [1.2]. • One was shot by an unaffiliated, politically isolated individual (Kirk / Robinson). • One was shot by a gunman with zero political motive who was legally insane (Reagan / Hinckley). • Two were shot by radical extremists outside mainstream US politics (Lincoln / Booth, a Confederate Know-Nothing sympathizer; JFK / Oswald, an avowed Marxist-communist). • One was shot over international geopolitical grievances (RFK / Sirhan). • One was killed by a white supremacist segregationist (MLK / Ray). The blanket claim that they were all shot by Democrats is entirely false.
