In an article I read they stated that his parents were supposedly saying he started turning to the left in recent years. Whether that is true or not remains to be seen, but it would at least partially explain his not voting for Republicans and registration as independent.

What background has been proven that he has a history with groypers? The only thing I've seen are the bullet engravings, but unfortunately he managed to pick every single meme that could go either way... They all have a history of starting one way and being used in another, even the helldiver's reference could be a fascist misunderstanding the point of helldiver's, or a left winger understanding and using it as anti-fascist.

    The article I saw said he was getting more “political“ recently, not explicitly more left-wing…

    I wish I had it saved since I'm at work and can't do a good enough search, but yeah the quick search I'm doing now is only pulling up "more political." Could have been that the article was wrong and has since been corrected.

    It’s also an easy misunderstanding to make for a journalist or online commentator because typically when somebody decries somebody “making something political” or “getting more political”, they mean in a way that they are not because to them, “their views aren’t political” even though they absolutely are.

    Consider the source. Hard-core Righties consider anyone who isn't as right wing as them to be Liberals. They could check every box in Conservative Bingo, but if they have the slightest concern about deporting people without due process, they are as Liberal as a San Francisco Homo.

    You can't let MAGAs choose the labels.
