I now spent close to an hour trying to figure out Robinson’s political leanings, and as of right now the internet simply does not know.
This is the closest:
A public records database shows Robinson’s family resides in Washington, Utah, where Trump garnered support from 75% of voters in the 2024 presidential election. Robinson’s parents have Republican listed as their party affiliation, said public voter registration information, and they are considered active voters (each cast ballots in the 2024 election that gave Trump a second presidency).
Public records also indicated Robinson registered as a voter in Utah in July 2021 but was considered inactive and did not declare an affiliation to any party when he registered.
And then there’s a lot of talk about bullet engravings which leave me very confused. How can you engrave “If you’re reading this you’re gay” - 26 characters onto a single bullet? Even so, the messaging is open to interpretation. We simply do not know yet, and we might never know 100%! He’s conflicted, that much seems clear.
IMHO most timely and objective article as of right now: LA Times

True, but i still don’t see how it can’t be a game reference and a label applied to Kirk.
I don’t see how somebody, who is right wing themselves, would use this. But it makes perfect sense if the shooter was left.
Groypers and always online fascists co-opt left language and I see them call other nazis fascists derisively. I will bet you ten thousand dollars there will be no sign the shooter was leftist in any way.
Yeah, but quoting an antifascist song and writing “hey fascist, catch” on your bullets is one of those things that feels suggestive of the rarer lefty shooter. There was also something initially reported as pro-trans symbolism, but it didn’t sound like a trans symbol I’d seen before.

If you’re reading this you’re gay, LMAO…
Wouldn’t the bullet that called Kirk a fascist be an indicator of a possible left position held by the shooter?
My understanding is that it’s a Helldivers 2 reference, so not necessarily.

I mean, anybody can throw the word “fascism” out there and a wide variety of people purport to hate fascism so shrugs maybe but probably not.

It’s a groyper thing, which also a traditionally rightist thing. Steal leftist terminology and reuse it to troll leftists and confuse everyone else.
