re: El Paso shooter repeats exact Democrat rhetoric

quote:

you’re implying he is a leftist white nationalist and an extremely mixed up leftists/rightist nut job.

I can see it.

No doubt.

Nazis were socialists.

You can be a leftist ideologically and a racist at the same time, it’s actually pretty common

frick sake no he wasn't

Just trying to find the overly emotional Democrat who would bite


The Dayton shooter was a Warren supporter though

Well, that and the whole being a trump supporter thing, but who's countin?

Didn’t read his 4 page manifesto did you? He specifically says he’s not a trump fan and his views predate Trump and he specifically mentions this because he knows the media will try and connect those dots when they are not there. You can say he is lying but you take him at his word at being a white supremacist so which is it?

He specifically says he’s not a trump fan

No, he didn't

And his other posts on social media bare that out

Pretty sad game of hot potato going on here

quote:

Wait, because he cared about the environment, he’s a democrat? Or is it you just want him to be one so bad, you’re willing to engage in categorizing/dividing politics (the same thing you accuse the left of doing) just to make you feel better.

---

I think the main argument is he doesn’t really fit into either camp. He has conflicting ideologies if you were to line them up side by side in a t chart. Very few on the right are ardent supporters of UBI and universal healthcare

quote:

frick sake no he wasn't

He is a trump supporter

He addresses Trump in his 4 page manifesto and he wasn't a fan . You take him at his word for being a white Nationalist so it’s awfully convenient and self-serving you don’t take him at his word on Trump.

Dude was a psycho detached from reality. He "supported" whatever points of view that reinforced his delusions. Some are Trump, some are Leftist.

Sharing rhetoric doesn't necessarily mean that people actually agree... I knew a guy in college back in the 80's who was very much into educating one's self and self-betterment, and standing on your own merits. Very much opposed to the welfare state, and the harm it brought to those dependent on it. He wrote editorials in the Reveille, and one day he was invited by David Duke to meet and talk since they shared similar POV (per the letter, which I saw).
My friend wrote a letter back declining, stating that since he was a black man (which he was), he most likely wasn't the kindred spirit Duke sought.

Point being, this clown might say things that you could say "Trump" to, but if you sat the two down, 99.999% chance they would not agree. Same goes for just about any other political figure who might have said something he espoused... because the first thing any sane person would say is "Man, you just can't shoot random people". And that, obviously, is not the shooter's point of view.

Muh Deep State conspiracy!

Name 1 Trump thing he supported.

I dunno. Don't think it's really relevant, to be honest.

For those saying he's anti-immigrant, I've always thought Trump was a big fan of legal immigration. The First Lady is an immigrant; that doesn't sound like xenophobia to me.

What I meant is, this clown can take "build the wall" and claim it mirrors his own view that foreigners should be shot (for example); but the reality is that the Wall doesn't mean that. It means you should not move to this country except in a manner recognized by law, and border jumping is not one of those manners.
