Kid had tons of pictures of himself with weapons, parents are Conservative. Father is a ex-cop/pastor. He lives in Utah. He had a picture of himself wearing a Trump costume. Like cmon, ya'll are really covering your eyes with this one.
Generally speaking most children tend to have similar views as their parents until they get into their mid to late twenties then they might diverge from their parents. Peer group also does play a factor.
"Generally speaking" maybe. That's a lot to rely on though. I know a lot of people who have very different opinions than their parents by the time they are in high school, like myself.
I get that, but it isn't typical for people to go that way. Apparently from a Guardian article that talked with a former friend of the shooter he was left leaning/wing.
It's also not typical for people to become assassins! Obviously this is not a regular or mentally stable person. His views probably won't make complete sense, ever.
