This has nothing to do with the argument but I always love these statistics because it implies the 32nd last has a connection to‘ the left‘

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Why don't we think Tyler Robinson aligns with "the left?" I know there was a lot of misinformation on him, but the situation is becoming more clear. We'll learn more in the coming weeks.
Lastly, right wing influencer Charlie Kirk was shot last Wednesday by Tyler Robinson, a white student from a gun-loving Republican Mormon family. Robinson has no party links, but has reportedly embraced the extremism of right wing racist Nick Fuentes.
Does this still seem correct? His family was conservative, but he was not. Who reports he embraced Nick Fuentes? His family? His partner? Or just "some people" with no credibility?
If you were unaffiliated & didn't vote in '22 or '24 and had the legal ability to do so, then no, I don't think you can be considered a progressive or liberal.
This is almost **exactly **what had been predicted for years was going to happen when a MAGAt is primed for violence & then realizes they've been lied to the entire time.
I got the downvotes but no answers. There was a lot of celebration that Tyler Robinson was a conservative, and the article this post is about pretty much was only written to add him to the list. So, what happens if it turns out he killed Kirk because Kirk was too right wing, not because he was part of a rival right wing faction?
Are we going to own up to the misinformation propagated through the Fediverse?
