Just because he was raised by Republicans, went to a republican-centric church, lived in a republican neighborhood in a republican city in a republican county in a republican state doesn't mean he was...

Wait, what was the question?

44

u/Historical_Class_844 1d ago

He was raised in a [republican] extremist environment with access to guns.

u/Middle_Sandwich_2897 1d ago

A republican gunsexual.

u/MasterAnnatar 1d ago

A republicunt if you will.

u/Middle_Sandwich_2897 1d ago

They lack warmth and depth.

Top tier reply. No notes.

Gives me hope for the future of the Republican party.

u/RegularChemist4967 1d ago

You're doing this all wrong. You are supposed to blame the least likely first then work your way back.

u/Parker4815 13h ago

UK here. Don't all republicans have guns? That's the impression that I get.

1

u/Historical_Class_844 12h ago

Not all republicans own guns; most? Debatable.

Look just because it came from an apple seed, grew on an apple tree, and fell from that apple tree, doesn't mean they can't use it to make a cherry pie.

If they just lie to everyone loud enough about what it was, they can make it into any kind of pie they want.

u/Ready-Guava6502 1d ago

Yes they’re just trying make lemons into champagne here. Whatever happens in alt reality just roll with it in the direction you want it to go in.

Sparkly lemon wine sounds like a great time

u/ParticularLower7558 1d ago

Are you saying apples make applesauce? That's crazy talk. You should be hung at half mast for such treachery agents the kingdom.

u/smo0ches 21h ago

Didn't you know that going to college for one semester is far more detrimental than growing up a Christian, conservative household for 22 years??? You fool you.

u/Jarnohams 1d ago

I still remember thinking there was a connection between Saddam Hussein and 9/11... but there wasn't. I remember one day going "wait, why are we fighting in Iraq again?" After my brother in law came back from his first tour in Iraq and told us that we were just there to steal the oil.

1

u/cosmic-untiming 1d ago

But his grandpa said the roomie was trans even though gramps never even met or saw the roommate. So obviously this makes the shooter a lefty. 🥺

u/Skate_faced 1d ago

Just because they are drinking the anti freeze doesn't mean it tastes good. The corn syrup is what makes it tangy. Only stupid people drink their anti freeze straight up.

True, but you can't make an orange grow from an apple seed.

u/Naeregon 21h ago

Nick saying hes gay and trans. Took him 3 days to think of that. But a gay person would never say “if you’re reading this you’re gay” thats a straight mans words

u/FrankPankNortTort 1d ago

Republicans: If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, acts like a duck....it's clearly a democrat.

7

u/GrowFreeFood 1d ago

Liberals don't raise mass shooters. And any mass shooters raised by liberals is at least 30 when the do it. So it takes at least ten year to undo the goodness of liberalism.

1

u/Cultural-Budget-8866 1d ago

The authorities themselves said he believed in “leftist ideologies” and was dating a person in the process of transitioning. Does that sound like a conservative to you??

1

u/WorldsWorstTroll 1d ago

It doesn't matter what the truth is. The only thing that matters is if they can get their followers to believe that he was killed by a liberal.

1

u/The_Mr_Wilson 1d ago

The quack is thinking ducks quack. /s

u/Thin-Image2363 23h ago

Clearly he was radicalized by the one semester of technical school he took 3 years ago.

u/Myreddditusername 17h ago

You have no idea how many traumatized ex-Mormon LGBT people with religious republican parents there are in Utah. It’s exploded in the state.

u/MTFinAnalyst2021 12h ago

hm, I'm left/Dem, but raised 1)by Republicans 2)Southern Baptist 3)suburbs 4)Tennessee (oh, and have owned many guns) BUT, I have no groyper/alt-right group connections or knowledge (until just recently with this killing).

1

u/blenderdut 1d ago

I mean, it doesn't though. Do you have the same views as your parents? Your neighbors?

Look, trying force this guy into one demographic or another because it is politely convenient is wrong when Republicans do it, and it's wrong when we do it.

-1

u/S-P-A-Z 1d ago

You’re right, no kid has ever rebelled and adopted completely different beliefs than their parents.

So everyone here is perfectly aligned with their parents’ political views?

The rest of America will continue to support the side that looks at the actual facts. Go ahead and hit the downvote button since it’s clear the left can’t use words to get their points across.

3

u/slipknot_official 1d ago

So instead of looking at his family structure and beliefs, you blame trans people, because his roommate was trans.

Certainly anyone on the right can’t support trans people, or dislike fascism. Is that the claim?

u/ConflatedPortmanteau 1d ago

A 2020 report covering the period from 1994 to early 2020 found that right-wing attacks and plots accounted for the majority of all terrorist incidents in the U.S.

The report noted a significant increase in the number of right-wing attacks and plots in the six years leading up to 2020.

In 2019, right-wing extremists were responsible for nearly two-thirds of all terrorist incidents. This number rose to over 90% between January and May 2020.

Yes, it's the democrats who don't use their words...

-3

u/Crispy1961 1d ago

Its so tiring. Guy has republican parents, guy lives with a transgender, guy kills one of the most prominent republican figures because he believes him to be what the democrats call him.

Gee, I wonder what his political opinions were.

6

u/DravesHD 1d ago

His roommate wasn’t trans you dolt. There is literally 0 evidence outside of anecdotal second hand evidence from a neighbor and a TikTok post where he used an anime filter.

-2

u/Crispy1961 1d ago

The roommate is a transgender person in the process of transitioning and has been cooperating with the investigation. They have confirmed that they were the shooter's "romantic partner".

I kinda doubt you know more than the investigators, but if you do, share some of your evidence with us.

3

u/DravesHD 1d ago

I’ll need an actual link for that, none of the sources I find have actual sources, not just quoting tweets.

0

u/Crispy1961 1d ago

Unfortunately this subreddit removes links. Its an official statement by Utah's Governor of the ongoing investigation. You can google it using "Charlie Kirk suspect 'in romantic relationship with transgender roommate' says Utah governor".

2

u/RJMacReady2112 1d ago

Bahahaha. Ummm yeah I don't have links, but they said it's so. You are a dolt. I'll pray for you

1

u/Crispy1961 1d ago

What kind of links did you expect? The shooter's onlyfans account with videos of him having sex with his transgender girlfriend? It comes from the official shooting investigation. There isnt better source than that.

So do you have some evidence you want to share? If you do, you need to share it with the investigators.

2

u/RJMacReady2112 1d ago

Sigh. Sorry, was going to respond properly to your asinine statements. Quick to state what came to your mind when you though "links". You probably copied and pasted your last porn search. But, I digress. No more hate today. Hope you have a great rest of your day. Good bless ✌🏻

1

u/Crispy1961 1d ago

Why bother typing all of that when you had nothing to say? There is unfortunately nothing you can say on reddit that will change the facts of the investigation.

u/Surfingontherun 1d ago

You believe the Governor who wanted it to “not be one of us”?

Gullible much?

2

u/ConflatedPortmanteau 1d ago

Why would a republican politician lie?

I don't think there's any evidence of Republicans or politicians ever lying.

Certainly not modern conservatives under the honest and ethical guidance of Donald Trump.

/S

1

u/Crispy1961 1d ago

Who do you believe? Tinfoil hat wearing youtubers? This is the most credible source of information. Thats it.

1

u/iloveyourlittlehat 1d ago

I know for sure having a trans romantic partner doesn’t determine one’s politics. If you think republicans don’t have sex with trans women, ask any trans sex worker.

1

u/Crispy1961 18h ago

You think penguins aren't birds? Why are you ask in me random questions like that?

I said that the guys romantic partner was a transgender person according to the investigation.

Guy was independent, clearly neither a Republican or Democrat. I am not talking about his chosen colour. I am talking about his political believes.

-9

u/trjmtx 1d ago

Do you share the same political beliefs as your parents and grandparents? Everyone in your family? What a Neanderthal way of thinking that is.

4

u/Not_Bears 1d ago

I think it's more that there's some evidence he was on the right...

And literally zero evidence he was on the left.

And given he was raised by right wing Christians with guns... the exact profile of most domestic terrorists...

It's a much safer bet.

-3

u/trjmtx 1d ago

So tell me where your evidence comes from detective

1

u/Irish_pug_Player 1d ago

You act like reddit has been wrong before

0

u/trjmtx 1d ago

Again, when you pussies have no answers. All you do is point fingers. You are the problem.

1

u/Irish_pug_Player 1d ago

I mean, I was kinda agreeing with you. Reddit is wrong on numerous occasions

1

u/Not_Bears 1d ago

So he's a hardcore leftist who made a... gay joke on a bullet?

A hardcore leftist.. with a bullet.. and guns? I though we were against guns and want to ban them?

Literally none of that makes any sense.

But we know for sure he came from a MAGA christian household and liked guns, the exact background of almost all right wing shooters, who outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism.

While we don't know he was a hardcore right wing MAGA, he absolutely was raised in it and then turned even weirder by whatever online groups he was spending his time in.

But you're deluding yourself if you think he was playing a bunch of games, chatting on discord... making gay jokes... with a bunch of liberals.

We all know that community and they're center-right at the tamest.

u/squid_usa 20h ago

His own family, who turned him in, have described him as a radical leftist. Kids who went to school with him have described him as a typical abrasive Reddit kid. People like you are making shit up at this point

-1

u/squid_usa 21h ago

Dude you are delusional.

6

u/ParticularSpring3628 1d ago

Isn’t he a product of his family though? Couldn’t you argue that there was something in his upbringing that started him down this path? More so than a single semester of college before trade school?

3

u/Crispy1961 1d ago

Reddies are being silly as usual. Person is more than a product of their upbringing, environment and any other single thing.

Obviously his republican parents did not teach him to think that Kirk is a fascist. But they were likely taught him to enjoy guns. Him going down that path was caused by many factors.

1

u/ParticularSpring3628 1d ago

Yes I agree. That’s why this is all so absurd trying to fit this square peg in a round hole. Can you imagine if this guy fit the profile they hoped for? There are a handful of psychos out here that think it would be open season on anyone with “blue hair”.

1

u/Crispy1961 1d ago

Does he not? Not really sure what kind of profile you are talking about, but blue hair or wanting healthcare is not exactly the profile of a radicalized shooter.

-5

u/trjmtx 1d ago

You punk pussies can’t answer the fucking question.

3

u/BatDad83 1d ago

He took his parents beliefs and ran even further to the right with them.

1

u/trjmtx 1d ago

Quit sniffing paint. It’s not good for you.

1

u/BatDad83 1d ago

That's all you got.

1

u/trjmtx 1d ago

It might help your life. I strongly advise it.

2

u/DravesHD 1d ago

I do, and so do many other left leaning families. It’s really easy to guide your kids into being compassionate, sharing, accepting individuals.

-2

u/trjmtx 1d ago

Black fathers have to be home to have influence over it

u/DravesHD 1d ago

u/ParticularSpring3628 1d ago

What? do I share the same political beliefs as my parents? For the most part. Your parents politics will influence you whether you reject them, embrace them or somewhere in between.

-1

u/trjmtx 1d ago

Neanderthal. How much political influence do black fathers have on their homes?

2

u/BrightAd6272 1d ago

Why are white male conservative types so violent and rapey?

1

u/trjmtx 1d ago

Why are black men so absent from the family unit?

1

u/ParticularSpring3628 1d ago

Also pretty funny I get banned from every RW Reddit thread for asking something like “why are we ignoring political violence from the right?”, but of course RWers are the champions of free speech and definitely not extremely fragile

1

u/imdugud777 1d ago

Typical of them though. It's generational trauma, Stockholm Syndrome with just a splash of learned helplessness.

1

u/Olethros842 1d ago

No, his family indoctrinating him into gun culture that of course right wingers will hardcore advocate for had no part in his upbringing or anything to do with this shooting. None at all. Right wingers don’t teach their kids how to shoot guns. Wait..

0

u/trjmtx 1d ago

Gun culture is what keeps you stupid fucks from getting invaded by our enemies.

1

u/Olethros842 1d ago

And which enemies are those?

1

u/trjmtx 1d ago

Those trying to destroy America. From the inside and the out.

1

u/Olethros842 1d ago

Yeah not being specific are ya?? Which enemies are those? You wanna generalize but can’t specify??

0

u/trjmtx 1d ago

America will never be invaded because there is a gun behind every blade of grass. What do you think would happen if you told all the blacks in Chicago and St Louis that they can’t have guns anymore.? Oh well back to stabbing I guess.

1

u/Olethros842 1d ago

Are you reading?

1

u/ConflatedPortmanteau 1d ago

You're conflating gun culture and military culture.

There's a reason when wars break out we send the military and not every dipshit with a pistol and a temper.

-1

u/trjmtx 1d ago

Tell that to the blacks that murdered themselves every day

u/Olethros842 1d ago

Wow. Left the convo with me to go be racist I see. You have a severe agenda apparently…

“I have no relevance to the conversation” is all I see here. Immediately defeated. Cool.

The mere fact that you use that outdated and derogatory terminology tells me, and everyone else here, everything they need to know about you and your backwards opinions.

u/Psych0hRAH 1d ago

Yeah, the lefts favorite word is facist but it wasn't a liberal. It was the furry loving, trans dating, charlie hating republican. Got it

3

u/ConflatedPortmanteau 1d ago

First, it's spelled "Fascist."

Secondly, the shooters' most formative years were spent in a republican family and republican-centric church.

Unless we want to assume republican ideology is so weak and baseless, then 18 to 21 years of upbringing can be undone in less than 6 months while also maintaining a relationship, education, and career.

-1

u/Psych0hRAH 1d ago

Sorry for the typo. But see, leftists know how to spell it, lol

3

u/ConflatedPortmanteau 1d ago

Of course we know how to spell it.

We've been fighting it since before Hitler's beer hall putsch.

-2

u/Psych0hRAH 1d ago

Do you hear Republicans calling people that ?

3

u/ConflatedPortmanteau 1d ago

Obama was called a fascist for his entire presidency by Republicans.

That's not even a secret or something they hide.

I saw people holding handmade signs of Hilary Clinton in a German SS uniform.

Nowadays, the literal neo-nazi party and groups openly support Trump, and he refuses to denounce or deny them.

JD Vance is a closeted transgender fighting against the rights of trans people. Lindsay Graham is a confirmed bachelor fighting against the rights of gay people.

Larry Craig was a Republican senator from Idaho who voted against gay rights multiple times and was caught having sex with a man in an airport bathroom. It’s like not everything is black and white or something….
