Jourdin Davis was a fixture of the alt-right scene in California for many years. Davis described himself as a "New Reich Rebel" and "3rd Positionist", attended several far-right, MAGA, and anti-immigration rallies, including the 2017 "Battle of Berkeley", before moving to Vegas.

In 2017, Jourdin Davis organized a "Stop Sanctuary Cities" rally in San Francisco. He invited neo-nazis and Proud Boys to the event. Davis made several posts calling for an end to immigration and relocating people of other ethnicities from the USA back to their "cultural land".

A Nov 1 2017 Facebook post by Jourdin Davis:

Should we begin having more and more open discussions
about whether diversity is really a strength or not? Based on
the world I see around me, especially with what Sweden has
been doing with its refugee programs, im leaning more
towards it not being a strength; but rather a sign that not all
personalities and cultures are compatible. If we want to help
those much different from our western values, then it'd
perhaps be better to help those where they already are--or
help them relocate to areas close to their cultural land.

Jourdin Davis, who is biracial, frequently shares outright Nazi content. Davis's Twitter handle (now suspended) was

, with the "88" being a well-known white supremacist dogwhistle for "He*l H*tler" ("H" is the 8th letter of the alphabet).

"Be strong, and let us fight bravely for our people and the cities of our God. The Lord will do what is good in his sight." - Samuel 10:12

Identity and nationalism are complicated. Mass-shooter David Wenwei Chou, a Taiwanese passport holder, appears to be associated with Chinese nationalist groups. Chou is roommates with Jordan Davis, a biracial white supremacist who favors Nazi symbology.

Identity's complicated when it comes to Taiwan / China by the way. How much time the perpetrator spent in

does not make him Taiwanese if he denies that identity and sees himself as Chinese, and that group, albeit diminishing, exists in

and in the Chinese-language diaspora.

This mass shooting occurs against the backdrop of not only ratcheting tensions between the US and China, but also comes amidst a spike in hate crimes against Asian elders in the US, driven in part by Sinophobia. Multiple groups will be trying to use this as a political football.
