Whether he "supported the right" at the moment he killed Kirk is really besides the point.
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.
That's like saying everyone in Utah is a Mormon, or everyone raised in the church is a Christian. Strict ideological upbringings often backfire.
Ok? A lifetime of indoctrination and propaganda in a MAGA family and community certainly did "backfire". If by backfire you meant growing up in that environment was supposed to create some kind and gentle altar boy.
