Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

By my math, if he's 20 now, that would have made him 17 in June 2021 when he donated, which is also too young to vote. He would have had to register as a Republican after that donation, and records show he voted in 2022.
what if he was the famed radical centrist i keep hearing about
Might be. A liberal adventurist scared of Project 2025.
emphasis on radical?
The brainworms in this country for this to even remotely be a serious possibility
2022? So he's never voted in a presidential election? Something seems fishy about this whole thing now
If he was 20 as of July 13, 2024, then he would have been 16 on July 13, 2020, and in no way eligible to vote in the 2020 election
the motivations of 20-year-olds can be mysterious even to the 20-year-olds
Idk, we will probably learn more soon; it's rare for a 20-y-o American to have no digital trail, so there's more information out there.
Maybe he wanted to impress Jodie Foster!
my money's on him being a terminally online kid from 4chan who is obsessed with pedophiles and keeps seeing the epstein stuff
He has a Discord, if was probably a dare
The conservative narrative I've seen now is that he was such a committed liberal that he registered Republican to sabotage their primaries from within.
My eyes rolled so far back into my head that they came around to the front again
