I Got This Right, Right?

First of all, you completely missed the main point of my comment. If you think there’s no evidence then you shouldn’t be claiming one way or the other either, yet this post is presenting him as definitively right wing.

Secondly, I didn’t say he is a left winger. I said (based on my judgement) the evidence shows he probably, maybe leans left.

And answering your “what evidence” question, his text message to his roommate is released by the investigation. There are also statement from his mother stating he is “getting more and more left” (obviously, grains of salt). And there are leaked (released?) Discord messages from the killer.

If you never heard any of these, then you probably are in an echo chamber.

Sorry, my ignorance of LGBTQ does not dilute my point.

However, in my ignorance, I touched on something you didn’t try to refute and I appreciate it: Republicans are quite often in the closet while publicly raging against the thing they secretly embrace.

I didn’t miss it. I ignored it the same way you so vociferously try to pull this rightwinger away from his rightwing history.

Huh? That wasn’t what I was doing at all, you just pulled that accusation out of your ass. You asked me “what evidence”, so I answered, I guess that was the wrong thing to do.

So you actively ignore evidence that might be inconvenient to your opinions?

To nitpick, the handwritten note under the keyboard got destroyed. So there isn’t any any more.

I have had the same experience and its frustrating. I mentioned Trumps claim that all his actions are legal, and his reply was “well it was ok when Biden said it”, like a knee-jerk reaction.

I had to JackieChan_WHAT.jpg while driving.

Different person with same name

The article has screenshots.

Oh, so a bad faith argument

No. I chose to ignore apologist language. Seems quite unpopular with those using words to annoy instead of communicate.

Yes, and the voter registration is for a Tyler Robinson, not a Tyler James Robinson.

The Snopes fact check has a screenshot of the registration of Tyler James Robinson.

Fair enough.

Does that make the shooter a leftist?

Which is, indeed, a bad faith argument.

Also, answering their comments is not ignoring.

Not on its own, but he’s not exactly a registered Republican either. Just wanted to correct that one thing.

Yeahhhhh explaining stuff isn’t my specialty I always end up explaining things wrong lol it’s a bad habit

Are his parents leftist?

No, but I also hear that there are a lot of leftists with right wing parents, especially in Utah. Maybe that was why he moved out, I don’t know.

Maybe he was more right wing instead. I don’t know. I’m not the person who was saying he was leftist. I was just pointing out that he wasn’t a registered Republican.

Was his upbringing a leftist one?

Were his friends? Neighbors? Church? Schoolmates? Bible class? Pastor?

The point, which apologists are eagerly falling over themselves to avoid, is that he was in a right wing world and had all of that in his corner. They’d like to focus instead on the chance that he may have rebelled against MAGA.

I don’t. I don’t really think the information points to a specific ideology at this point in time. I’d give the odds of them being conservative about 65%. He was born and raised in a Christian conservative family. In a religious conservative state. Gay hate can only really exist in an environment without gay people, same thing for people who hate trans people.

Which hate comment are you talking about? I am not familiar, so this might change my opinion.

As for not being far right enough, that’s easy. The online and professional media have been playing the game of who can be more extreme for a while now. I believe there’s a lot of conservatives out there who would be willing to kill someone on their same side for not being extreme enough. They would consider them traders, grifters, or not real conservatives.

Right back at you. Finger guns
