    I mean, if he was staunchly conservative, learning those facts would only make him care less about others. After all, God only punishes the evil! If you’re being enslaved, it’s because you’re bad!

    … This is a direct thought pattern I’ve witnessed many times in conservatives. They use any tragedy as a sign that the person it befell is bad. Similarly, they might view the close call as protection by “god”…

    Yes, conservatives have the brains of children.

        My point still stands for every religous conservative. I’m not speaking to the shooter specifically, but conservative brain rot in general.

        If you think conservative brain rot is limited only to the religous, then you are extremely foolish.

      He was young enough to be a Believer of Buckley. He may have actually believed in being right wing by principle and didn’t like hypocrisy.

        Notice how I started my post with, “even if”. I’m not talking about the shooter specifically, but Republican brain rot in general.

        If you think moronic religous beliefs don’t have a huge influence on conservatives, you haven’t been paying attention at all.
