    TBH I think it was always clear that he was going to be at least somewhat right-coded given that he was so competent with firearms.

    I personally don’t care what he thinks about pronouns or whatever, unlike Rittenhouse or that subway guy he actually went after one of America’s true villains. The right wing violence in this country finally found a legitimate target.

      I respect your take, but you’d probably be surprised how many lefties are proficient with firearms. It’s liberals that generally hate guns, although even that’s less true in the US. Marx himself was adamant that workers should retain the right to own firearms.

      The SRA Socialist Rifle Association has over 10k members in the US. Not exactly the 5m members of the NRA, but I’ll bet there are more lefties in the NRA than the SRA, just because it is so ubiquitous.
