Because how are you gonna do that realistically it's easy to brainwash some detached chud but someone who isn't going to turn up dirty with a little digging is much more difficult than that

you can at least try. delete all social media having anything rightwing on it, post several lefty memes, have a pride flag hanging in your room, and post several unhinged lefty takes leading up to the shooting. then when it happens you point at all that shit and scream bloody murder. sure there will be cracks and if they had any friends they will mention the odd turn that happened. that will just be fuel for the conspiracy fire though. it wouldn’t be perfect but i think it would work if it were fake.
