    Even if the shooter had voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020 the Repiblicans would spin it as him being a Democrat who just hadn’t changed parties because they lie about everything.

    The shooter was too young for any voting history to matter anyway. He was a registered Republican and that is the only thing that matters until there is documented evidence that the registration was for any reason other than choosing to be a Republican.

      I don’t disagree with you but we’re talking about narratives winning out not reality.

      How you are registered is not always indicative of your beliefs or how you vote. I’d rather see what he has said on social media or things he’s written personally to figure out more about him. My friends and family don’t know how I’m registered or how I vote (not really), but they know my belief structure and I vote as true to that as I can, and I suspect that is the case for 99.99% of voters.
