“Robert Card’s social media sites showed support for Trump, among other politicians. As shown by the video, Card liked tweets from high-profile conservative figures such as Donald Trump Jr., Tucker Carlson, Dinesh D’Souza. He also engaged with publications from former house speakers Kevin McCarthy and Jim Jordan, as per the video.”
He had clear mental health issues. He recently lost a girlfriend and a job. He shot up two locations where he and that girlfriend had spent time. His body was found next to the recycling center he’d been fired from.
He was also a right-wing militia nut job, but nothing about this spree killing suggests that his motivations for it were political.

It isn’t immediately apparent to me how the actions he took would advance any political cause, or why he would think that it would.
