So they are reporting the DC bomber has confessed and said he is a Trump supporter BUT...

he is also an "anarchist" and has anti-social tendencies as if that is a confusing juxtapostion to them. I guess they are implying (or messaging) that anarchist and anti-socials are always to be associated with Democrats, or liberals.

MAGAts are nothing if not anarchists and anti-socials!

5. Pipe bomb suspect told FBI he believed 2020 election conspiracy theories
Fri Dec 5, 2025, 10:17 AM

and yes, he was a trump supporter

WASHINGTON: Brian Cole Jr., 30, is cooperating with the FBI, NBC News has reported, citing a separate person familiar with the matter. Cole is expected to make his first court appearance on Friday. He was charged Thursday with leaving pipe bombs outside the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee in the hours before Donald Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol

Trump has falsely claimed the 2020 election was "rigged."

Cole was charged with transporting an explosive device and attempted malicious destruction by means of explosive materials, according to charging documents. The FBI has not publicly cited a motive.

The pipe bombs he's accused of planting were found the day of the Jan. 6 riot, though investigators have said they were place near the RNC and DNC on Jan. 5.

"I further direct the Attorney General to pursue dismissal with prejudice to the government of all pending indictments against individuals for their conduct related to the events at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021."

Even though he didn't have a "pending indictment" at the time, I can't imagine that if a future Democratic administration tried to indict more people for their actions on January 6th that the argument from the right would be that this wording would cover any future indictments as well.

I think his lawyers will have a valid argument that he can't be prosecuted.

Which may be a smart move on suspect, Brian Cole Jr.'s, part.

He is now a "hostage" of the FBI. And you know how Trump feels about them!

It's a common theme. Very few are rational actors with a well-defined motive and goals. Look at the PA Trump shooter, the Kirk shooter, the Giffords shooter, the Reagan shooter, and this guy.

I'm just waiting for them to find some vague memes on social media or some BS engravings on bullets as "proof" that Trump supporter is actually liberal.

Yes, plenty of anti-social anarchists support Trump to "shake things up" because they like chaos and destruction.

anti-social features. It cannot be otherwise. There are, of course, individuals with anti-social features in both the Democratic and republican party, and certainly in the larger group of registered independents ..... as well as among unregistered individuals. In general, anarchists tend to either belong to a fringe-of-a-fringe group, or are solitary beings.

I'm not sure who the "they" you refer to might be that might be confused. The FBI would not be confused, as his personality features allowed them to identify and arrest him. So I suspect it might be the corporate media. In my opinion, their intent is to confuse the public. But all of this is really rather simple.
