Um, it was in the article, at least in the words of his mom
Now, these days, simply having empathy can be considered to be "leaning to the left".....
To his MAGA mom, accepting trans folks while retaining every other right wing shit view would be considered 'leaning left' because when you start off at the extreme even slightly approaching the center is considered 'leaning more to the left'.
That isn't the same as 'left leaning' as used by anyone else.
Has anyone upvoting this comment read the article?
It says so in the article.
It says:
That's not something found out "hours after the shooting"....
That's a MAGA mom saying how she felt he had changed in a year.
And could very well be influenced after the fact if the roommate/partner stuff is true. Even if not true, if she just believed it.
It has nothing to do with the headline or anything else, it's just the mom's random comment.
And it definitely doesn't lead to the same conclusion the first account leaped to.
Edit:
Hell, maybe in highschool he was openly saying to kill anyone LGBTQ, so just tolerating the existence of his roommate would have been "a huge shift left".
But still not "left leaning" compared to the average American.
Like, it's weird because if someone needs this explained, they need everything explained.
Did you think of any of this before making your comment?
I have a real hard time believing that someone who was brought up in a Utah religious, guns, law enforcement, MAGA family ended up shooting Charlie Kirk after putting groyper messages on his rounds because he was so far left.
The comment you replied to has no mention of "hours after the shooting". That's what te title of the post says. I don't know if lemmy is acting up and you intended to reply to the main post instead of a comment.
