The reactionaries are spouting it. True or not the damage is being done and they’ll continue pushing that angle as school shootings spark cries for gun control and this gives them an excellent chance to do an uno reverse and cry for cracking down on trans people and decrying how it’s propaganda that turns perfectly straight kids gay and trans and satanic (because Catholics targeted), shifting the blame from guns, from an alienated, hyper-individualistic, barbaric, consumption culture with easy access to weapons to “woke trans”.

Looks like they were also Russian, maybe immigrant given their manifesto was posted in Russian so they can talk up anti-immigrant talking points and the necessity of ICE, add on the anti-zionist points and this is a a triple whammy for them in shifting blame and casting immigrants, trans people, and anti-zionists as violent criminal terrorists. Add on the bonus that it was a Catholic school targeted and they’ll keep harping on this because Christians LOVE feeling persecuted from a distance and pushing the idea of how their victims are so mean and hurtful to them.
