This isn't just about "the left." A significant number of people on the right want this to be the catalyst for a campaign of violence against gay people, and trans people in particular.

They never fail to mention "trans activism" or something similar when talking about the shooter. They concocted this whole elaborate conspiracy theory about "trans groomers" years ago, and I'm absolutely certain that a lot of the recent online safety legislation has the goal of surveilling the trans community.

Worst case scenario would be declaring being gay and transgender people mentally ill and indoctrinated into "radical left-wing ideology" and then force detransitions and conversion therapy, and shut down their communities, or best case scenario a couple more chuds are radicalized to mass murder. Although since spree killing minorities is common enough to be considered a pastime in the US, the latter was probably going to happen anyway.
