Tbf the current Republican Party doesn't have "deep rooted conservative ideals" either.

They do if you consider fascism the logical end point of conservatism.

Maybe deep rooted isn't what I wanted to say. I agree that the current GOP is a cynical engine built to enrich the wealthy, but the base they have cultivated truly believe in the bullshit they spout, even if it is only maybe 8 years old.

I guess that is what I meant. The shooter was a kid and wiki didn't seem to I indicate a ton of maga social media stuff.

All that being said there is already new info so I am out of date.
