10. He was a disturbed twenty-year-old.

I am just guessing, but I do not think he had any definitive political ideology as to conservative versus progressive matters. I do not think he had a political cult mindset devoted to Trumpism. I think he was just a lost twenty-year-old who had been living in his truck for a year and who had a background with firearms courtesy of his parents.

However, the Putin-financed propaganda machine has been going at it since this morning with the lie that he was a violent liberal who rebeled against his loving, wholesome MAGA parents and was radicalized by leftist propaganda. Of course, that lie is ridiculous, but it is the type of lie which the MAGAs eat up and repeat.
