We don't know all the facts. He could just as easily be a leftist. I hate that it matters so much because either way, he had some demons to be able to do that. I see people on the right just as sure he's a leftist and I despise the idea that people would rather push a narrative than know the truth. Sadly, people on the right will always blame a leftist no matter what now and vice versa. I would prefer to know the truth whatever it is. And yes I know that historically what the odds are here. Truth matters though. Let's not stoop to immediately making a decision and ignoring facts that come out later.
No one here said a leftist couldn't have done this. What people are saying is that due to clear circumstantial evidence, there's very little chance he is a leftist. Many of these pieces I just recited to you. But if you truly think it is just as likely that he is a leftist, why don't you read off five or six circumstantial markers that you think indicate this?
What Internet people don't understand is that it's possible to not jump to a conclusion. It's easy in fact. Which is why I'm trying not to and asking for others to as well. You're asking me to argue for something I don't believe. I'm waiting for actual evidence. Not some vague shit or lies from Cox
Totally agree. It's bizarre to see you get downvoted for not wanting to jump to conclusions. Do people here think we'll all suddenly turn maga if he is a leftist or that it serves us at all to be wrong about him? If anything I'm pushed away from this community seeing shit like this
Yeah, social media is the worst invention of all time. Even when talking with people you agree with 90%+, they can't wait to jump on you and prove you're a secretly impure or destructive force to the things you claim to agree with. It's fucking bizarre but it's consistent.
Browsing r/conservative, it's way worse for sure on this conclusion-jumping issue, but I am saddened to be on this platform right now where you cannot even suggest waiting for evidence without people getting mad at you.
