Normal people don't go out and do shit like this. Something went very wrong in this kid's head, and he didn't outwardly seem like a psycho to people.
everything got sucked into the 4chan post-irony slop machine and thats how it ended up part of this gen z vocab that extends from femboy gun clubs to groypers to tech bros to etc etc.
im pretty sure he just wanted to throw the cops off his trail; he told his dad he would prefer killing himself to going to jail at one point, it makes sense that he would point them in a statistically logical but inaccurate direction.

That there hasn’t been a Gen X president when that’s the age best suited for the presidency is a statement of some sort about our peers.
it also says a lot about how ruthless the RNC and DNC are about gatekeeping access to power.

Yes, that's actually more of it.

The DNC is more guilty of this. They are very controlling regarding who gets nominated, even reserving the right to completely upend the will of the people via the "superdelegate" bullshit (something the GOP doesn't have!)
Gen X has been blocked from being a GOP nominee because of Trump's dominance. We will start seeing Gen X GOP primary winners once Trump is gone, unless it's Vance, who will represent a skipping of Gen X entirely.
I think the DNC may have learned their lesson with Hillary/Biden (even though Biden did win in 2020), and probably want to put forth someone younger in 2028.
What they really need is another Mamdani type personality, but someone who isn't foreign and isn't a Jew-hating communist. But he does resonate with people because he's good at plain talk and relating to average Americans -- at least when he's able to hide his extremism.
What a groyper or left wing kid is by old definitions is a flawed game to play. On what subject? If it’s Israel Fuentes sounds like an Ivy League protestor. If it’s immigration he’s to the right of the GOP. If it’s making fun of the right doing nothing but renaming shit and boycotting Cracker Barrel he sounds like me.
Assuming this kid is a fan of one of our old teams is boomer shit by all of us. Half the dudes I see loving Fuentes are young black dudes as he says they are inferior. Putting these kids in a column left or right is a fools errand. I find myself doing it also, so I’m not preaching, but I remind myself when I see these things that I don’t know kids like these kids. Any he’s this type of kid idea I have are likely to be wrong. Thirty five year olds don’t know these kids, so I sure don’t.
The horseshoe theory has become reality recently, and has complicated some of the left/right distinctions.
The extreme left has adopted the Israel/Jew hatred of the extreme right.
The right has adopted the populism of the left.
The left and right have oddly switched sides on the women's rights issue, as the biggest women's rights issue of the 2020 involves biological males in women's spaces and sports. You have the right aligned with otherwise far-left feminists, and you have the left aligned with the desire of mostly white males wanting to invade those spaces.
The right has adopted the longtime extreme left position of distrust of government, though that was already brewing since the '90s (think Tim McVeigh and others like him).

You think the Japanese walked around Hiroshima and found the bomb casing and talked about how it had American nick names written on it? Or was the story the USA just introduced them to the hydrogen bomb? My guess is they weren't real fixated over who did it and why.
Its obvious that the person or persons who did this were not of like mind to Kirk.
CNN strikes again with the misleading headlines.
The link to click from the front page says: "People who know 22-year-old Tyler Robinson describe differing memories of his political leanings"
But if you click through to the article, here's what you find:
People who knew Robinson described differing memories of his political leanings. An electrician who worked with Robinson on a job just a few weeks ago – and asked not to be named, like others who spoke about Robinson, due to the sensitivity of the situation – described his colleague as a shy presence who “wasn’t talkative unless he was spoken to.”
Robinson “didn’t really talk political… unless someone brought it up,” the electrician said, adding that “he wasn’t too fond of Trump or Charlie (Kirk).”But several years ago in high school, Robinson – like his family – was politically conservative, and supported President Donald Trump ahead of the 2020 election, one of Robinson’s former classmates told CNN. “When I knew him and his family, they were like diehard Trump,” said the former classmate. “When this happened, I was like… I don’t know what changed.”Cox said that a family member of Robinson had told investigators that at a recent family dinner, Robinson had mentioned Kirk’s upcoming event at Utah Valley University, and “they talked about why they didn’t like him and the viewpoints that he had,” Cox said. “The family member also stated Kirk was full of hate and spreading hate.”
So there is an electrician who said that a few weeks ago that Tyler hated Trump and Kirk.
We have a family member who said that Tyler didn't like Kirk or his conservative views.
And we have a high school classmate from 4+ years ago saying that Tyler was conservative back then.
That isn't "differing memories of the 22-year-old". That's consistency. He was conservative in high school, and he since became left wing.
That would be like interviewing someone who knew me in 1972, who would tell you that their memories were of me drooling and crapping my pants, and then claiming that people have "differing memories of the 53-year-old" in an article about me.
One of my Facebook accounts is in numerous active community groups in multiple cities, in multiple states. Since the height of the 2024 campaign there has been an ongoing, coordinated effort to spread posts from a few of these clearly-Dem-funded misinformation pages. They are pushing the groyper narrative harder than any one singular thing they have about even Trump besides "Project 2025". These community pages and groups are soft targets, and Facebook is clearly being manipulated to try and control discussions with the default "most relevant" setting for the comments sections. They have real accounts and bot accounts swarm the discussion on the pages they come from and treat the information as if it is fact. There's very little chance of a differing opinion being promoted in the default comments, and when they spread these to apparently every single primary community page for every single city of any real size in the entire country they are greatly benefiting from anyone trying to join the primary discussion being influenced by "groupthink"/"the bandwagon effect". Anyone who may have a differing opinion is likely to be influenced to stay silent by thinking they are overwhelmingly in the minority.
If you want to see how fucked up it's gotten scroll through this page:

I was actually going to post about this before, glad a couple of notable X accounts have since realized the same thing I did at least about the current Facebook overdrive. Some of these posts have 100k likes. In larger cities they already have bots and real accounts joining the groups they share them to pulling the same shit in the immediate comments.

"Most Relevant"
What’s funny is you don’t even realize you are doing the exact same thing you are accusing CNN of doing.
“And since became left wing”. Where based on any of those quotes does it say he was left wing? “Not being fond of Trump or Kirk” doesn’t automatically make you left wing. There’s certainly a high correlation there, but there are plenty of non left wing people that fit that criteria as well.
I mean statistically speaking odds are pretty high your views are going to be diametrically opposed to someone if you feel compelled to assassinate them, so from a pure odds standpoint it’s reasonable to assume in a case like this the person would be left wing. But yet also to be compelled to carry out an assassination attempt in the first place you have to be pretty fucked up in the head so all bets are off. And specific to this case we’ve not seen any clear cut evidence either way of motive. But yet both of our wonderful political parties are trying really hard to spin their preferred narrative. It’s so disgusting.
I was commenting on CNN talking about "differing" opinions of his political attitudes, when in fact they were not differing. The only "differing" one goes back to his high school days, which is mildly interesting but irrelevant regarding how he feels today.
Sure, he could be something other than left and hate Trump/Kirk. But it's pretty unlikely that he's any kind of conservative if he hates both Donald Trump and Charlie Kirk, as well as their general views. I do know some conservatives who legitimately dislike Trump, and maybe some of those people also wouldn't have liked Kirk, but it's unlikely they'd also hate all of their opinions unless they're actually not conservative at all.
Sometimes killers of famous people are actually obsessed fans, rather than haters. I thought that was possible here (though far from the most likely explanation), but it wasn't automatic that the killer had to hate Kirk or his views. In fact, it could have just been someone who wanted to be famous, or cause an incident which the world talks about.
But I think we have a pretty clear picture here, and it's of a kid who grew up in a conservative Christian family, was conservative himself during high school, and then went the complete other direction over the past 4 years. I put it at a tiny chance at this point that the guy was still conservative, but hated Trump, Kirk, and their values.
The "groyper" angle is so bizarre. There is no evidence that he's a groyper, but as VaughP pointed out, they're trying very hard to push that narrative. After all, how vindicating would it be for the left if Kirk's killer was just an alt-right nutcase who hated Kirk for not being extreme enough for their his taste?
It's absurd.
I also laugh when I keep reading libs write, "He was from a conservative Christian family. It's pretty obvious he was on the right."
What?? So there's no such thing as college-aged kids rebelling against their parents' conservative views?
They say this dumb shit with confidence, as if they completely lack any form of common sense.
Occam’s Razor. Robnson is a pure ass left wingnut. He was most likely radicalized by social media.
