You're wrong that the Hortmans' killer was a right-winger. His name is Vance Luther Boelter, and he was actually employed by Governor Tim Waltz — working for the Democrats. He said the reason he was upset was that Tim Waltz had ordered him to assassinate a politician [1,2].

So I'm sorry, but this example works against you. This is internal political violence within Democrats.

Let us come together and stop all the violence

Today’s “The Western Journal,” that august organ of journalism which you cite here, also features such headlines as “Demonic Compulsion: School Ran Weekly Witchcraft Address, Shut It Down Once They Couldn't Force It on Christians Anymore.”

It saddens me to think that this kind of thing is permeating into HN.

Please see the primary source I just included as reference [2]. You don't need to trust the western journal. You can read the shooter's letter, in his own handwriting.

In truth, he's more of a political nutcase than a political activist.

His later years involved repeated strong statements against transgender and abortion rights which would be highly incompatible with being a Democrat but quite in line with the Trump supporter his neighbors described him as. He also had a history of lying - for example, claiming law enforcement, security, or military experience – and your description of that letter is highly skewed from the mess of conspiracy and likely misdirection people with direct knowledge described it as.

Can we stop the fantasy land conspiracy posts like this first?

The liar here is yourself.
