    We talk a lot about left and right wing and what it means here. If you’re destroying elite power structures you are to the left of the king. There is zero ambiguity there.

    The media is trying to paint a picture of him as a right winger so they can better control the narrative. Read his actual social media posts and you can see that it’s much more nuanced than that.

      The media is also trying to paint a picture of him as a left winger. But his overall “wing” does not matter when we support him for his message

      He didn’t kill the CEO of Planned Parenthood or the dean of a liberal college. He killed the CEO of one of the most evil companies in an evil industry - something we can all get behind

        Right. It’s just yet another example of progressive ideas being popular with everybody, so long as it’s pitched in a vacuum without any labels attached. Everybody wants better healthcare. Everybody wants cheaper groceries. Everybody wants privacy in their bedrooms. Everybody wants money out of politics. But most people aren’t paying enough attention to realize that they’re actually voting against these things when they vote for conservatives, no matter what those conservatives pretend to stand for.
