Ok, I am not saying he wasn't, but would somebody mind explaining to me exactly why everyone is so ready to declare he is right-wing?

He's from a morman family, but that doesn't necisserily mean shit, the most left person I know was raised by mormans.

He also was saying Kirk was too hateful. That does not sound like words from a 4chan incel to me.

And the bullet casings were distinctly antifa, also seems like not a right wing nut to me.

I only ask because I am honestly concerned that the rhetoric around his politics is getting hijacked by people trying to make him a right winger to hide the fact that the left is not afraid to kill.

Edit: Thanks to everyone who took the time to explain what indicates he is a Groyper. And thanks in advance to any more info people share!

"Groypers" are what the followers of Nick Fuentes call themselves.

the shit written on the casings were references to memes they pass around in those circles, and there's other reasons, including his internet activity to say he was a Groyper.

Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck. Shits like a duck, it's prolly a duck.

What's strange to me is the grandmother says they are all conservative, and the father says he got increasingly more into politics recently but doesn't distance himself from it by saying their political beliefs differed.

I would have figured he would want to point out their beliefs differed if they were going to apart of an ongoing investigation.

It’s not that strange if you accept that he’s not a leftist.
