I wonder if he saw the light and realized what Trump was doing to millions others like him that were still stuck in darkness.

Smith shared an American history class with Crooks, and remembered a mock debate where their teacher made students stand on one side of the classroom or another to signal their allegiance. “The majority of the class were on the liberal side, but Tom, no matter what, always stood his ground on the conservative side,”
Conservatism isn't mutually exclusive with liberalism.
By definition conservatism and liberalism are opposite. However, modern Conservatives in America are largely Neoliberals in terms of most policies except stuff like religion, sex, and race.

Would you mind sharing what definitions (with its source(s)) that you are using?
Are you sure you don't mean conservatism and progressivism?
I'm done letting any conservative describe reality to me without telling them to stfu.
I've been done for twenty five fucking years, since Gingrich and Limbaugh and that generation of social parasites.
As a Georgia native I am eternally sorry to everyone for unleashing Newt on the world, I couldn’t vote until well after he arose but I still feel bad about it
He registered as Republican, identified as Republican, and classmates remember him as conservative.

Interdasting:
When Crooks was 17 he made a $15 donation to ActBlue, a political action committee that raises money for left-leaning and Democratic politicians, according to a 2021 Federal Election Commission filing. The donation was earmarked for the Progressive Turnout Project, a national group that rallies Democrats to vote.
Apparently was also part of a BlackRock ad.

"In 2022, we ran an ad featuring a teacher from Bethel Park High School, in which several unpaid students briefly appeared in the background, including Thomas Matthew Crooks,"
Pretty sure this one is just grasping at straws
yeah this was information that was just pouring in from all over the place. With that comes speculations and theories.
Maybe don't speculate publicly on information that's barely been confirmed and could easily be turned into a conspiracy theory?
This is how conspiracy theories start, with "just asking questions" at least wait until a single investigation is over before becoming a truther please.
To the best of my knowledge, the donation has been debunked as a 69 year old guy with the same name from the same area of swpa.
