I acknowledge that it is plausible that this person could have been a republican anti-trumper. However, if that were the case, then he would have made that $15 small dollar donation to the Lincoln Project, which is "founded by former Republican strategists who understand the grave threat of Trumpism to our nation..."  Source: https://lincolnproject.us/#:~:text=Founded%20by%20former%20Republican%20strategists,from%20across%20the%20political%20spectrum.

But the shooter DIDN'T put that donation towards the Lincoln Project or similar republican anti-trump movement. I would also like to highlight that the Lincoln Project was founded in December 2019, which gave the shooter the opportunity to give that donation during the same timeline that he gave it to the Progressive Turnout Project on Jan 20, 2021. This is an indicator that this shooter was not a republican anti-trumper because he didn't donate to any republican movement. The shooter clearly wanted to turnout the progressive candidates based on the Project's name: Progressive Turnout Project.

When you add up his age, his donation to the Progressive Turnout Project, didn't like Trump (tried to assassinate him), and the fact that this was a closed primary, indicates that the shooter was likely a radical progressive democrat. Radical because he shot at a former president. Progressive because he didn't donate to a republican anti-trump group, but rather a progressive project.

"he would have made that $15 small dollar donation to the Lincoln Project" is a hell of an assumption. Sure, maybe he would have? Or maybe he saw an ad for one on TV, or his mom mentioned it to him, or he saw a post on reddit. I don't know why he chose that specific thing to donate to. Neither do you...
