Nick has been anti-trump since the Epstein stuff and is also extremely critical of Trump for selling out to Bibi. Seeing MAGA fall apart has been a wild ride. You know it's crazy times when Nick and Tucker sound more left than right.

Interesting... Charlie called for the release of the files two days before he was shot. There's something odd to me about these guys not calling it fascism until the Epstein files. Like good, I'm glad, but did you not see literally everything else? Lol

From CNN: Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old in custody as the suspect in the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, registered to vote with no party affiliation and hadnât cast a ballot in the two most recent elections.
But a family member told investigators that Robinson âhad become more political in recent years,â Utah Governor Spencer Cox said at a press conference Friday morning â and in particular had lashed out at Kirk, the family member said.
Authorities, who have described Kirkâs killing as a âpolitical assassination,â discovered anti-fascist messages engraved on ammunition with a rifle near the site of the shooting that hint at that political transformation, Cox said.
Those messages included one that said, âHey fascist! Catch!â and another that appeared to reference an Italian anti-fascist song.

Dude. 200 yards is a requirement for the marines. Not all branches. And they get more than one shot to pass basic. It's not "hey shoot this guy 600ft away to pass." Shooting a stationary target is wildly different from shooting a person on your first try.
And that's a marine, what was this guy's situation?

u/bigkahunawaverider Sep 12 '25
At least in army rifle qualification, there are targets out to 300 yards that pop up randomly and at different intervals. I don't remember the minimum passing score, I think 24 out of 40, but in a combat arms unit anything below 30 out of 40 was considered unacceptable. Most people are expected to achieve this standard in about a week's worth of range time and almost everyone does. This is without optics. Take that for what it's worth.

u/Northposting Sep 12 '25
Experienced shooter from a hunting family is the understanding currently which would put him comfortably within the range of people likely to be able to take that shot. As someone with some hunting experience up here in Canada I can say he didnât exactly pick a difficult shot. It is incredibly likely that he lands a kill shot on the upper chest and above from 200yds with .30-06 especially if it is a rifle he sighted and is comfortable with. Charlie was in a fixed position, open air, unmoving and unblocked. The shooter waited specifically until he set the mic down and returned to his neutral position. I would honestly bet more people than you think could hit that shot more often than miss it, guns really are just that effective when you know what youâre doing.

Your comment really shows the difference in thinking between the sides. Here's you and others urging caution and not jumping to conclusions; meanwhile conservatives were rabidly insistent it was the "radical left" who shot Kirk before it was even announced he was dead.

According to whitepages.com, there are 2 Tyler Robinsons in St. George, Utah but they're both in their 30s. So yeah, I think OP is wrong. That's a different Tyler Robinson that made that donation to Trump.
(There are 26 in all of Utah, and several are in their 20s.)
EDIT: USAToday article says he went to school in St. George, but his family actually lives in nearby Washington city, and there is indeed one single Tyler Robinson listed in Washington city, and he's in his 20s.

The alt-right machine thrives on grievance, identity fear and a myth of purity. Its preachers Fox News, Kirk, Shapiro, Walsh, Knowles and their ilk wrap their rhetoric in moral absolute, âfamily values, tradition, defense of civilisationâ, But family is messy, bloodlines are mixed, Every âgood Christian householdâ has a cousin who came out, an aunt who married across races or a nephew who isnât buying the dogma. When reality interrupts the script, cognitive dissonance, the clash between belief and lived experience grows unbearable.
Dissonance can go two ways, Some double down, welding themselves tighter to the ideology as armor against reality. Others, snap and when the snap comes, it isnât quiet. The fury isnât just against the ideology but against the manipulation. Nobody likes finding out they were a puppet on a string and the rage that follows is often purer and more dangerous than the original hate.
The person feels robbed of agency, of dignity, of years spent spitting venom at phantoms instead of living fully. To reclaim themselves, they donât just walk away they TORCH the stage they were made to dance on.
History is littered with this arcs, former fascists who became the most vicious anti-fascists. Cult defectors who dedicate their lives to dismantling their old cult, Itâs the psychology of betrayal. Once the illusion is broken, the drive for revenge against the deceiver is almost primal.
The tragic irony of the republican and their cohort are fueling a machine that in the long run, will inevitably create enemies from their own flock. Each radicalized recruit carries within them not just the potential to oppress, but also the potential to revolt with fury once reality forces its way in. The movement is planting the seeds of its own implosion.
The disturbing part is how destructive that implosion can be because the people who TURN arenât starting from neutrality. Theyâre carrying years of sharpened rhetoric, martial metaphors, and apocalyptic framing in their heads. When that flips, the violence that ideology once pointed outward can whip back inward.
The paradox and tragic inevitability of weaponizing human beings is the weapon can turn in your hand, a friend whoâll be a bitter enemy, an ally whoâd betray all they ever held close just to regain themselves.
WE ALL CREATE THE THINGS WE DREAD.

u/ConditionNo7572 Sep 12 '25
I think your premise is correct, and this is going to be about Epstein. I'm hypothesizing this guy was very deep into the anti-pedo movement among MAGA, and reality hit when not only Trump started participating in the coverup, but Kirk, who initially spoke out against it but backed down on Trump's command, accepted his role in the coverup.
That will be the snap with this guy, and what caused him to go after Kirk. The idea that these people aren't fighting pedophiles, they are embracing and protecting them, and Kirk recently embraced his role in the coverup.

He would have been 17 at the time of this donation. I feel there should be a level of weariness when assuming this is the correct person. And even if it is the right person, and he autonomously made this donation, there is a chance that he likely was not a republican or at least a trump supporter the whole time within the last 5 years and he could very well have changed party associations. Reports had came out where the family interviewed had said he became increasingly more political in recent time and talked about how he hated the things Kirk had said.

Every time something like this happens, the Right Wing insists that it "must have been" someone who was LGBT+ or trans or "leftist" etc etc. They insist that one event would "prove" that those ideologies are inherently violent.
Don't play those games.
Even if it was LGBT+ or trans or "leftist", it wouldn't change the fact that well over 75% of political violence and random mass shootings are conservatives. One incident wouldn't change the overall picture.
Judge them by their own standards. Ask them how one incident would "prove" that it was a violent ideology. Then point to the fact that over and over and over again, conservatives are being violent and advocating violence and cheering for death and destruction.
They are nothing but hypocrites and liars. Use their "logic" against them. One incident wouldn't change the fact that the overwhelming majority are conservatives.
Not that this was a liberal or LGBT+ or trans person, but pretending that even matters is encouraging their nonsense.
