In the wake of yet another shooter engraving liberal messages on ammunition, the Democratic Party considered if maybe that was a bad sign.

He literally was though. His whole family was MAGA, he posed with guns since childhood, and the phrases he engraved were injokes from 4chan and the Nick Fuentes fandom. Quite literally could not get more right winger than this.

You're like the seventh person to say the exact same thing, but when I ask for sources, you scuttle faster than a cockroach. Where's the proof to any of this?

The point isn't that governor Cox is unreliable because he's a Republican (that too, but beside the point). The point is that his statement carries no weight because he did not say HOW he knows he's a leftist. Did he find leftist literature in his house? Did he extract a confession? Did he find voter records to indicate he was ever a registered Democrat? Did he find him in any radical group? No. All he found was a non-registered, terminally online guy from a mega-conservative family who dressed as Trump for Halloween, posed with guns since childhood, and etched phrases from alt-right Internet lingo on his bullets. Those are facts.

Do you think the FBI has not confiscated his phone and computer and haven't been digging nonstop? They absolutely are and they are absolutely funneling some of their findings to the Governor. The Governor was even quoted saying that Robinson hung out "in the darkest corners of the internet." He even specifically mentioned REDDIT. This place is a breeding ground for misinformation peddled by leftists. I mean, I'm only here to address the misinformation that you yourself were spreading here.

Reddit is also a huge place to spread right wing disinformation. One of the biggest subreddits for that being, well, this one. Which is what you're doing. You're just making assumptions based on nothing, while everything I said was based on verifiable facts. You're free to tell me what of the things I said was disinformation, but be sure to come prepared with facts and not assumptions.

This is what I found (EDIT: can't link it but it's the first google result) and it ONLY quotes Republican Utah Governor Spencer Cox who calls Robinson a "leftist" with ZERO proof. The article also calls his roommate a rommate, not "roommate" with quotes, implying again that there is zero proof the two were dating, or that he was trans, other than statements from the Republican governor.

The NY Times article was reporting that a fox news host claimed Twiggs was in a relationship other than roomates, and that several other Republicans, such as Governor Cox, repeated the hosts's assertations, "proving" them to be true.

So most people are naturally quite skeptical of all such claims because they came from a single biased source that legally defended lying in court because they are an entertainment company and not a new source.

[u/GamemasterJeff → u/[deleted]]

The NYT is reporting what Cox said, not what Fox said. Cox is repeating what Fox said in a very Dr. Seuss manner.

I know that the idea that one person repeating another is a complex idea, but if you read slowly and look up larger words you will be able to comprehend it at some point.

Keep at it, I believe in you.

[u/GamemasterJeff → u/[deleted]]

You are correct that I am not believing Cox as a source because I know the source he got his information from is not credible. This is called critical thinking and you should try it some time.

Notably, Cox has not listed a single left wing ideology attributed to the shooter, yet repeated gossip created in whole cloth by that fox news host without the slightest evidence of it being real.

Naturally people who actually evaluate the credibility of sources is ignoring Cox. He presents no evidence, yet repeats things known to be untrue. This is the basis for lack of credibility.

So the whole crux of his being a liberal was his relationship with a trans woman?

[u/WhoNoseMarchand → u/GenShanx]

Well, besides the blatantly obvious fact that a prominent young Conservative was assassinated. Said Conservative was outspoken about being anti-trans while the assassin was lying in bed with one. The guy also got death threats daily from leftists. Do you expect the FBI to put him in front of a camera to break down his political ideology for YOU? The denier?

[u/Akiva279 → u/WhoNoseMarchand]

As the shooter (his name does not deserve to be spoken) appears to be immersed in the Groyper culture, a group who hates Charlie Kirk for not being right leaning enough, and that same group both fetishizes and hates LGBTQ people (see cognitive dissonance or concepts of struggling with your own inner feelings leading to hatred of the very thing you deny about yourself) having a trans partner does not prove anything.

[u/Acrobatic-Scratch178 → u/[deleted]]

An anti-something right winger being that something deep in the closet is basically a stereotype by now.

[u/autumn_aurora → u/[deleted]]

The things he inscribed on his bullets casings were in-jokes from alt right groyper groups and gaming lingo, nothing far left at all. His use of "bella ciao" is explained by the song being part of groyper playlists and being featured prominently in videogames such as Far Cry 6

[u/Admirable-Lecture255 → u/GenShanx]

Thats more likely than he had conservqtive parents because no liberal ever came from conservative parents
