I think we need to stop focusing so much on if this guy was MAGA or not, and focus more on how common it's becoming for young white men to be radicalized by right wing media.

The statistics are there, they're everywhere, and it's no surprise right wing politics would lead to violence because the rhetoric they use hateful talking points. Kirk's wife said the "left should watch out," Trump said war is coming to Chicago, right wing influencers and politicians say that the left doesn't know what's coming to them.
When people in power spout hateful words that target specific groups as the enemy, it's no surprise that kids will listen to that, be influenced by it, and act violently.
I don't know if Kirk's shooter was MAGA. I think he was at one point and probably finding out he was gay might have been a turning point. It doesn't matter though, because that same day, there was another school shooting caused by a kid who's search history shows he had extreme right wing beliefs.
