    Conservatives have to at the minimum allow their kids to bring in their bad ideas to the home. Kindly explain why they are bad ideas, don’t shut down the discourse.

    All this evidence that points him to being a deranged leftist, and yet the front page of reddit is filled with posts calling him a conservative. Insanity.

  3. > Cox told reporters that a family member of Robinson who was interrogated by investigators said Robinson had “become more political in recent years”.

    > The family member, Cox said, recounted how Robinson had gone over for dinner and mentioned that Kirk was scheduled to speak at UVU. The family member recalled Robinson talking about not liking Kirk and his viewpoints.

    > In a phone interview Friday, someone who said they were friends with Robinson in high school– who asked to remain anonymous – said that Robinson was “pretty left on everything” and was “the only member of his family that was, like, really leftist”.

    > “The rest of his family was very hard Republican – like gun-loving, everything,” the friend said. “He was really the only one that was on the left.”

    > The friend said he was stunned when he saw the news on Friday that Robinson was the suspect in the Kirk case. “I knew he had strong political views,” the friend remarked, “but I never thought it would even go near that far.”

  4. i can buy it, we’ve seen it. You send a kid to college and they come back blue haired and hating their country

  5. It’s entirely obvious he was a left wing antifa type:

    His gun engravings, classmate testimony, recent argument with family at dinner, telling people he hates Kirk and knows he’s coming to UVU, participation in DSA discord servers, and the fact alone that he killed Kirk prove hes a lefty.

    Fucking Hasan Piker admitted that he seems like a lefty rather than a right winger

    Yet the FRONT PAGE of r/politics has an article where his grandma states that “their whole family was MAGA” which is a willful distortion of the truth

  6. Currently what I’m reading on Reddit boils down to he is a conservative because he… has a family. That is some hilarious self reporting by them. 
    I will give them credit though, with no actual principles the constant purity tests let them point to anyone and say “that’s not us”.

    It has to be easy to be a liberal. No need for understanding of nuance or context required. 

  7. Over on r/politics everyone is high fiving because his family is maga so that MUST mean he was too. Lol because no kid ever rebels against their parents beliefs.
