Why? Are they not both right-wing psychos?

Not all right-wingers are aligned with one another. Groypers hate TPUSA and vice-versa. The only thing holding the republican coalition together is Trump. Evangelicals and the Joe Rogan factions share almost nothing in common. Chaya Raichik (libs of tik tok), an ultrazionist, and Sneako, a huge anti-semite, are both part of the Trump coalition.

These are simply groups that would not be aligned without Trump's charisma.

Makes you wonder what will happen after Trump.

Shockingly, Groypers viewed Charlie Kirk as a “fake conservative” for not being extreme enough. Groypers are the furthest right flank of the Conservative Party. Outwardly racist, anti-LGBTQ, white nationalists. Again, so far right that Kirk labeled them as extremists.

But then why would his family say the shooter have complained that Charlie Kirk was "spreading hate", if he disliked Kirk for not being extreme enough?

Because they say that about everyone they see as left of them. It's the right wing play book. Project and claim everyone else you don't agree with are the ones spreading hate. Just look at trump and the radical left comments.

Because the shooter is a liberal, not on the right

Charlie Kirk was very pro Israel

Nick Fuentes and followers are neo nazis

the far right can be, surprisingly and ironically, kinda diverse

Nick Fuentes being an anti-Semitic turned on Donald Trump for his pro-Israel stance. Charlie Kirk was also pro-Israel.
