Huh, I honestly can say that I never once considered, let alone assumed, that disgusting killer's political leaning.
Am I in a minority or does everyone automatically do this these days?

Crazy. That's the best way to describe the man. It appears he was all over the map politically. But if we want to take his politics into account, by his own admission, he voted for Sanders.
You don't hear much about Nazi Sanders supporters often.

Of course he was a Bernie Bro, after all -- Portland.

I thought the Bernie bro's were the kind of peace-nik hippies that always have birds flying in front of their podiums.

Bike Lock Boy's attorney was just on Tucker and tried to blame the alt-right for violence by using this Portland killings as his example.
Tucker rightly called him on that and said the killer was a vowed Bernie and Jill Stein supporter.
This is how fake news gets spread. This attorney didn't even bother doing his homework.
Mr. Christian, following an emerging trend of possible mental distress combined with “blended extremism,” called himself an “Anarcho-Nihilist and registered Libertarian, who happened to vote for only Bernie in the primary then switched back.” He further wrote of anti-Semitism as well, “In short I sympathize with both Commies and Nazis because of Semitic Patriarchal Monethesism.”

It doesn't seem that he really has any kind of ideology.It does seem like he's a pretty obvious racist though. You can't really throw out his actions and recent rhetoric because he said he supported Bernie.
No, he really doesn't. And yet he seems somewhat informed about some things... I was just reading some of his quotes, and he throws some names and words out that I doubt most people have even heard of... but there's sure no logic or cohesion to his words or thoughts -- beyond the crazy.

To me he comes across in his social media postings as someone with mental problems that's just easily manipulated. Kind of reminiscent of that story that came out a couple of weeks ago about the kid that was a white supremacist and all the sudden converted to Islam and then kills his former Neo-Nazi friends. People are just lost with all the misinformation bombarding us and those with undeveloped coping mechanisms can't handle it.
Both the right and the left have selectively presented and omitted his online ramblings for political points completely overlooking the fact that two, by all accounts, stand up guys were killed. And that's #ed up.

He may have supported Bernie, but he is definitely not a progressive and he is by his own admission a white supremacist. But the fact that this particular Bernie supporter is a white supremacist does not make all Bernie supporters or all Democrats white supremacists.
All major politicians, not matter what their stripe, have extremely confused and deluded people among their followers. ALL.
It takes very little investigation to discover that very few white supremacists support Sanders, while hundreds of thousands if not millions of them support Donald Trump.
