Wouldn’t this dude be 15-16 at the time of those posts? That’s a lot of time for a young person to change their views. I know I basically did a 180 from conservative to leftist in that time frame.
I’m not trying to say he wasn’t right-wing, but using what someone posted when they were in high school as evidence for political motivation 4-5 years later seems flawed to me
Why obsess so much over his motivations? I can think of 1000 reasons why someone with a gun and a lack of morals might want to kill Trump. Does it really matter which one got him to the rally? Even if we found a verifiable suicide note saying “I did it for X reason” it wouldn’t change anything.
Because it’s relevant to the conversation and the point Vance is trying to make. There’s no evidence he was a Democrat beyond one 5 dollar donation after the fucking insurrection. To me it sounds like he’s a libertarian who doesn’t like tyranny.

Wasn’t the donation made by someone else with the same name?
If so, even more to the point.
It is ultimately believed that it was him after all. Snopes has the details.
