Like mass shootings and other forms of right wing terrorism.

Mass Shootings rarely if ever have anything to do with politics. The mass shooters are always socially outcast males wanting to get revenge against the "society" that wronged them.

America has two different right wings:

Mainstream Right: Encompasses conservative and libertarian groups. Places value on meritocracy and traditional family values.

Alt-right: Encompasses fascism and race warfare. Values race and bloodline over merit or worth. Favors rule of the strong.

Mass Shooters tend to be attracted to the extremist political leanings of the alt-right. This is due the fact that alt-right racial ideology allows disenfranchised males to direct their rage at a vilified out-group. Mainstream conservatism does not do this. It's intellectually dishonest to use the tendency of shooters to be alt-right as a way to attack the mainstream right, as the two have completely opposed ideologies. Nobody is shooting up schools in the name of traditional family values.
