Family is staunchly republican, tho the perp himself went indy in the last few elections. Being gay doesn't say anything, Thiel's gay bf killed himself for what seems like political issues too (& might have been Indy like perp-- or, say sama)

> Family is staunchly republican

Because it's not like you haven't seen countless reddit posts from unhinged leftists railing about their MAGA family members (from whom they're often estranged), despairing about the quality of life in their red state from which they wish to flee, as if it were only marginally better than Somalia.

		I didn't want to be more specific, only quoting a reputable source verbatim; but you forced my hand :) Family is even staunchly Mormon, AIUI https://nypost.com/2025/09/12/us-news/who-is-tyler-robinson/ Leave it as an exercise to construct the bayesian model for ex-Mormons are: homosexual, leftist, etc There's a reason Mormons are sought-after gov employees, but if we can't talk about that, be consoled by the idea that being leftist is treasonous* *A level religious, above uh Luigi's sub-ethnicity, famous for its loyalty, shall we say

		I haven't seen any by unhinged leftists, however I have seen countless normal people tired of hate, authoritarianism, racism, anti-women, anti-science, and anti-infrastructure, and narcissistic tendencies by their parents, who are often MAGA or QAnoners.
