    I mean his DNA was found on the gun, there’s a slew of text messages, handwritten notes, and video evidence showing that it was him, but I suppose a Republican could have broken into his house, stolen his DNA, planted incriminating messages, and borrowed his clothing. At this point we really just don’t know, anything is possible.

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

      Nope, if you talk to anyone on the right currently, everything the administration is doing right now is fine and they have broken no laws.

      “Oh the democrats have done much worse.” When i ask them what things democrats have done that are close to what republicans do, they always bring up forcing kids to become trans or giving them hormones in school.

      People really are that out of touch with reality.

      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.

        Multiple people know him as from a rightwing family, he was photographed in MAGA gear, and plenty of MAGA are secretly gay.

        None of what you’ve said is even minutely comparable to the abundance of evidence that says he’s a rightwing abused child from a MAGA family.

        He’s also a registered Republic卐n.

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

              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.

                        yeah, I agree. But like, pointing fingers at “politicians” broadly speaking is still just pointing fingers.

                            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.

                                So how do you know he’s right wing?

                                Edit: Also how do address the hate comment? And justify him killing Kirk for not being far-right enough?

                                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.

                                    Everybody described him as being withdrawn, it seems like nobody but his roommates knew anything about him, but those roommates haven’t talked as much. It’s like none of the people that were physically around him were part of his world, and they describe him as being online a lot.

                                    I think he was more shaped by the internet than the people physically around him. Especially since he was described as being apolitical until after he left his parents’ home.

                                      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.

                                      with regards to the shooter i recommend reading ken klippenstein’s piece on him, it does not sound like theres enough evidence to firmly consider him a conservative or a groyper or an anarchist yet. he’s weirdly apolitical (aside from executing a bigot for as-yet-vague reasons) and several definitive assertions have been made and later retracted by large media outlets, often citing sources that recanted or hearsay that proved false.

                                        Thanks for the article. I’ll read it now.

                                        EDIT: I’d already read this one. It’s probably more factual than anything mainstream media has done and that’s including those from either side of the political spectrum.

                                        These days they’re all bowing to Trump anyways so who knows what to trust.

                                          Everybody described him as being withdrawn, it seems like nobody but his roommates knew anything about him, but those roommates haven’t talked as much. It’s like none of the people that were physically around him were part of his world, and they describe him as being online a lot.

                                          I think he was more shaped by the internet than the people physically around him. Especially since he was described as being apolitical until after he left his parents’ home.

                                          Sounds like a typical rightwinger that ends up as a young shooter to me.
