I know plenty people who want healthcare and social safetynets, but who hate brown people, and vote for far right lunatics. Having a single left-ish opinion, doesn't mean all their beliefs fit that. We have no idea wether this person even tolerates other trans-people, or if it was just an exception for someone they love, and felt Charlie was a direct threat to that person.

What I'm saying is, right now we have no idea why this person really did it, what his motives actually were, and what his political allignment really is.

Being pro trans is neither left nor right.

At a stretch we can label trans as being libertarian, because it's no-one else's fucking business.

There's been studies that right wingers are the biggest consumers of trans porn.

The article mentions they can't tie him to any left-wing groups so Trump can crack down on them.

So the right is stuck without any group to go after since he acted independently.

He was raised, in a deep red area in a deep red state, in a right-wing, MAGA environment his whole life. That's all he knew from the time he was born. He came from a pro gun / hunter family, deeply entrenched in that culture from what he said in his texts and how he felt responsible for his grandfather's bolt action rifle.

He was stewed in it, forged by it his whole life and those are the values and morality that formed him.

If it maybe had a moment of experimentation or a particular openness at some point in his young twenties doesn't change the facts of his upbringing and what truly formed him to take the actions he did.
