Merged Charlie Kirk shot at Utah Valley University event. / Charlie Kirk Shot And Killed

It would only mean that Robinson aligns with left wing ideology on specific questions like "Should same-sex relationships and gender nonconformity be stigmatized?" That's a pretty uncontroversial position to take these days, though.

If you need five letters to roll together three sexual orientations and two other forms of gender nonconformity, you're probably talking about more than one issue. I guess you could lump them together under the unifying rubric of "not obeying traditional gender norms" but that's so overbroad as to include men who cook dinner because their wives are at a professional conference.

Good question; I don't think we have that information yet.
This is not my area of expertise, but I stumbled on this short study of straight men who are in relationships with trans women...the conlcusion is that they tend to be misogynistic, and like to control women. Something that we generally associate with the right (as exemplified by Trump)
An interesting analysis!

Left...RIght...Straight...not so straight...
 
Meanwhile, Bloomberg reported that Robinson used "Donald Trump" as a gamer alias.
Does this mean anything? Probably not, but some folks are making a big deal of it.....

Guy was pure unhinged far right by the look of it
Opposing Kirk's speech on the grounds that it is hateful towards specific oppressed groups (e.g. trans furries) doesn't strike me as far right, but maybe you've read chat logs I've not yet seen.

It isn't the 'opposition' that per se is 'far right'--it is the idea that one's emotional distress can best be expressed by executing your opposition with your beloved high powered rifle. While some on the far left also espouse that philosophy, the stats show it is far more common on the far right.

The part you snipped out covered that, I thought?

On the day of the shooting, he was wearing a "Home of the Brave" T-shirt, with an eagle soaring in front of Ol' Glory, that literally every right wing gun nut I know has some variation of. Not a single guy I would call lefty has one.

The initial speculation for that was that he was trying to fit in to the crowd. Seems plausible...

Agreed, but our priors based on background data have to adjusted for new info. All the memes are either brainrot or (arguably) antifa-flavored, and copying Mangione on the method of messaging is definitely left-coded.

That's a huge stretch, given that Mangione cannot really be described as being left or right, he hated 'wokeness' for example. HIs actions arguably fulfilled extreme left ideology, but then to speculate that Robinson intentionally copied that because he was leftist is just plain out-there. I don't think we will ever definitively be able to label the killer 'left' or 'right', but should be pretty easy to label him as bat-◊◊◊◊ crazy.

It's difficult to put into words how much I want him to be a MAGA cultist.
 
Why? The medium is the message.
That's gibberish. Which medium? Which message? How do you decode the message--do you have a secret decoder ring? Some speculated it was Groyper language (far right)--some still do. Some say it is simply brain-rot meme language shared by independent losers who spend way too much time online. Who knows? Why are you so sure of yourself?
 
What we can be reasonably sure of is that despite all the fantasies of Trump's regime--they have found no evidence tying Robinson to left wing groups:
NBC
 
Investigators could find a dozen links between Robinson and the far-right - right wing media talking heads and the MAGA Morons who worship them will just hand-wave them all away, but if those investigators also find even one, tenuous link to anyone on the left, those same talking heads and morons will amplify it beyond all reason.

So far, what we know is...

1. He is a gun owner and gun enthusiast (strongly indicates Right)
2. He was brought up in a Trump supporting family (indicates Right)
3. On the day of the shooting he was wearing a T-Shirt with "Land of the Free" & "Home of the Brave" above and below a US flag fronted by a Golden Eagle (indicates Right)

4. He is a native of Utah, a strongly red state (indicates Right)
5. Used "Donald Trump" as his gamer username (indicates Right)
6. Had a transgender partner (indicates Left)

The evidence so far weighs more heavily in favor of him being politically right of center.

NOTE TO HEAD THE NITPICKERS OFF AT THE PASS:
"Indicates" does not mean "is". Those who make arguments against the above such as "not everyone in Utah is a Republican" are missing the point.
