Just checked out his wiki page due to another post, and it does appear that his parents divorced while he was young. So we've got a kid raised by a single mom with two sisters. That's already a recipe for getting all the wrong advice in life. I'm honestly shocked he had the values and courage he did on the night of his shooting. Maybe he learned that from his dad during visitations?
But regardless, we've got a boy raised in an all girl household by a single mom, suddenly gets fame thrust upon him while he's barely legally an adult, gets surrounded by grifters and leeches trying to use him to push their brands or raise their own status, is too young, inexperienced, and naive (again, thanks single mom) about life to recognize the hot chick who is suddenly interested in him is nothing but a gold digger.
Sounds to me like he's been tugged around by manipulative people his entire life. First his single mom, then all the people who glommed on during the trial, and then all the clout chasers after he won. And of course winning is going to make it feel like the people who talked like they were on his side are the only people he can rely on, so he ends up taking their advice even more. I would bet he was talked into coming out against Trump, and was talked into walking it back when it started hitting someone's bottom line.
What he should have done was used the direct aftermath to make a decent chunk of money, then drop out of public life entirely while investing that money in his future. Of course, that's the wisdom of age and retrospect, and I can't blame him for making the choice while having neither. He got suckered in by the fame and money while being encouraged to do all the wrong things by all the wrong people just trying to cut a slice off for themselves, and he ends up being a mouthpiece for political entities he doesn't understand. He needs to stop trying to be a public figure honestly. He had his moment, I'm glad he made it out alive and free, and it's time to go do something else. Get off Twitter and stop doing the talkshows and interviews. Take that money and get a few welding and CNC certificates. Maybe in a few years he can work for one of those boutique AR-15 companies. He's not cut out for politics and public life, and never would have had to even think about it if it hadn't been forced upon him. He's still basically a dumb kid like 10 million others, we just happen to know about him because of shit other people tried to do to him.
I'm willing to give him a pass for being a dumb kid led astray by malicious adults and women, so long as he lets it drop here. I'm shocked there are so many on TDW that are frothy mouth with rage over a fucking Tweet about not supporting Trump. It really does drive home the point that there are useful idiots on both sides, and that it's actually what most people are regardless of their politics. People who don't do a whole lot of thinking, don't self-reflect, don't try to step back and calm their emotions and analyze what they believe and why, and act almost entirely off of emotional reactions. The ones on our side just happened to be pushed by their emotions into supporting the correct things, but they didn't think themselves into these positions, they feel them and don't go much further than that. So another stimulus can set off their emotions in another direction. Kyle shoots some pedo commies, they feel elation and pride. Kyle says something dumb, they feel rage and anger.
Let's be real. First, genuine elections with genuine votes isn't a thing. So any talk about how he's going to sway votes away from Trump is horse shit. Votes aren't going to decide this election any more than they decided the last one. Second, there is no one out there who is undecided but leaning towards Trump who suddenly shifted their vote because Kyle Rittenhouse made one Tweet. So let's not pretend that his tweet is this massive betrayal because it could shift the vote away from Trump. The people who are going to vote for Trump already knew they were, the people who are voting for Cumala already knew they are, and all the normies in between who probably won't vote at all are going to be persuaded by $25 value meals from McDonald's and $80 to fill their gas tanks, not one tweet from some D-list celebrity from 3 years ago.
What he said essentially doesn't matter. It's not going to change anyone's mind, he doesn't really know what he's talking about anyways and never did. And all the dumbshits who are raging over his first Tweet about Trump are just as guilty of doing stupid shit when they were in their teens and twenties, or supporting retarded political causes 20 years ago too. They just get the benefit of being nobodies that no one knows about. Kyle is no different from any other 20 something going through a Ron Paul phase. He just gets to have his life shoved into the public sphere because people tried to kill him.
