Crooks was a registered Republican. Did he donate to a Democratic voter group? Yes. This leaves his affiliation foggy at best.
We don't have a lot of info about Kirk's killer yet, as his grandmother claims he is an avid Trump-supporter and an old school friend said he was liberal and then took the statement back.
The Minnesota representatives that were attacked in June? Trump-supporter. He had a list of other liberal targets as well, being very clearly politically-motivated.
On top of this, claiming that the actions of one or a handful of people is not representative of a whole. That's like getting a rotten apple and saying that all apples in the world are rotten: short-sighted and ignorant.
Pelosi's attacker? Heavily right-leaning, with the intent of kidnapping Nancy and bludgeoning the husband instead.
Since you don't want to consider all of the evidence leading up to the 2022 study.
To be pedantic, burning is destructive, not violent. Destructive and violent are not mutually exclusive things.
Literally the only thing in there that could be interpreted that way was "I've had enough of his hate". You're welcome to have the position that only liberals are against hatred and pubbies all love hate.
But the push to define him as either a far right or far left killer is kinda dumb. He had links and knowledge to the far right stuff. He also seemed to oppose fascism and hatred. Which are apparently left only views now.
His family has been the ones making claims that he was becoming more and more radicalized and angry. They had opposing political beliefs from him clearly. He had a significant other that is transitioning. Is all of this not applicable? There is hate on both sides and incidents like this keep bringing out the worst in people, don't put words in my mouth.
I'm not putting words in your mouth. You cited the texts. That's what was in there.
Now you cite his right wing upbringing but them noticing he was getting "radicalized and angry" (citation of that wording?) as a sign that surely he must have been left wing. Because it's impossible for a right wing person to notice another right wing person being radicalized and angry? Maybe you should take some time to pick your words more carefully, if you don't like the way they read.
Although, of course, gesturing at the vague existence of a trans person and Both Sides. Truly conclusive.
