Except that all the posts you point to as finger pointing (based on you making it bold) are literally just collected evience of the character after the shooter was identified. Also all of those appear to be taken from this thread which doesn't dicount what Rol said either about the Kirk thread getting locked, as again thats all from after he was identified and all the stated information comes from his family's social media accounts or released statements

It wasn't 'evidence', they were wild speculations and borderline conspiracy theories to link him to some fringe alt-right movement even most Conservatives haven't heard of.

I'll just address my quote that you added to your fly-by list, but it is part of trend in the posts you selected. Nowhere in this quote did I say anything to "link him to some fringe alt-right movement."

Identifying that there isn't any evidence that he is part of the left and that it is in fact the established regime that is engaging in "[not-so-borderline] conspiracy theories" isn't the same thing as "link him to some fringe alt-right movement."

It is pretty obvious that if they had anything remotely alluding to actual left-wing politics, they would release it. Trump has a hatred for the left (likely because of the 2020 protests) that he didn't really have as much in his first term. He also has a strong motivation to coin an enemy.

The difficult part is that it isn't believable at all amongst non-MAGA that there is a real communist threat. Communism has never been weaker as a movement. This is very unlike 1920's and 30's Germany (or even 1930's U.S) where communism was a real threat to the extant systems.

The right is trying to treat "woke" ideas as the new communism, but nobody really cares about woke that much. Radical cultural liberalism isn't a threat to capitalism.

This was posted 3 days ago, and they still haven't affiliated him with an actual left-wing group or movement, by the way. Being in a partnership with a transgender person doesn't make you left-wing. Hell, being transgender doesn't make you left wing -- as Blaire White and Caitlyn Jenner have shown us.
