I know this will shock you to learn this but it turns out that the shooting at Florida State University yesterday was a hardcore, fascist Trumper. Surprise:
Ikner, 20, was publicly identified as the shooter during a press conference on Thursday afternoon, in which it was also revealed he is the son of a sheriff’s deputy and had used her gun in his rampage…
Speaking to NBC after the shooting, a student who was once part of a ‘political round table’ with Ikner revealed he harbored white supremacist views. ‘Basically our only rule was no Nazis — colloquially speaking — and he espoused so much white supremacist rhetoric and far right rhetoric as well,’ Reid Seybold said.
Seybold was in a building right near where the shooting took place when he heard gunshots, and said he was ‘getting ready to die.’
And Riley Pusins, who is part of another political discourse club on campus that Ikner would attend, had a similar experience with the suspect.Pusins said Ikner would attend meetings ‘almost every Thursday’ in which he would ‘go up to the line’ about what was acceptable discussions, but would often cross the line after the formal meeting ended.
The student said Ikner often advocated President Donald Trump’s agenda, promoted white supremacist values and made inappropriate comments, despite joining a nonpartisan group. Pusins said others in the group would describe Ikner as a ‘fascist.’

Ikner had also recently mocked students on campus protesting the result of the 2024 presidential election. ‘These people are usually pretty entertaining, usually not for good reasons,’ Ikner said in his school magazine, where he was described as a political science major.
I’m so shocked to see this. The last I heard was that being a young Trumper is super cool:
Looking for Love in Trump Tower: “We’re Young, Hot, Successful, and Republican”
At a singles mixer in the president’s former residence, young conservatives say dating in New York no longer feels like a secret mission. “There’s a new city conservative that is not afraid anymore and openly MAGA,” says one attendee.
Psychopathic gun nuts are more than welcome.
