Rightwing?

Bro he was a centrist liberal, believing in things like Darwinism and class warfare.

He was likely triggered because of losing insurance around the age of 26 and the utter disaster it is to manage one's own health insurance. Hence the lashing out at the health insurance industry

Um, really? Darwinism is now the dividing line between right wing and liberal? Hitler was a liberal? Are you unaware of how Nazi propaganda equated Jews with wealthy bankers and merchants to harness class resentment?

I'm not saying he is Hitler, but your bar for right wing is pretty damning of the American educational system.

It's an amazingly accurate stereotype that right wingers change their opinion on an issue the moment it impacts them. I'm sure you're on track with his motive, but that doesn't make him a liberal.
