The Dayton shooting wasn't politically motivated.
Maybe, maybe not. You don't know. You're pretending to because that's a self serving narrative, or at least you assume it is. But whether that specific attack was politically motivated or not is arguably not very relevant. The very fact that he was a rabid leftist undermines the liberal narrative that the problem is a bunch of crazy right wingers running around killing people. Plus one could argue that immersing himself in that leftist cesspool cultivated his generally hateful mindset and caused him to devalue human life. All a normal person has to do is watch the full first leftist "protest" video I linked above to support that contention, and make one feel like taking a shower.
El Paso was a different case. The shooter wrote a manifesto justifying his shootings in which he used a lot of Trump's language.
More self serving BS. The shooter's meandering manifesto (funny how you dishonestly clear him of any mental illness) expresses his environmentalism, support for universal healthcare and basic income, and disdain for corporations, as well as a desire to kill Hispanics. In his
only mention of Trump he credibly makes clear that his views long predate and aren't tied to the president (he certainly ignored Trump's frequent rhetoric about Americans of all colors being "one people"):
"My ideology has not changed for several years..My opinions on automation, immigration, and the rest predate Trump and his campaign for president. I [am] putting this here because some people will blame the President or certain presidential candidates for the attack. This is not the case. I know that the media will probably call me a white supremacist anyway and blame Trump's rhetoric. The media is infamous for fake news. Their reaction to this attack will likely just confirm that."
