is basically an American Tradition by now.

As for the wording of the texts, perhaps Tyler Robinson is on the autism spectrum. We on the spectrum often speak and write in non-neurotypical ways. Personally, I don't find the texts particularly odd, especially considering young people and their meme culture these days.

I do find it odd that in the last day or so I have seen the "texts were not like people actually talk" at least a half dozen times, as I write this Sam Sacks is casting doubt on the texts. Maybe this line is just organically propagating, but it almost seems like it is being pushed as a red herring.
