I feel everyone is forgetting the detrans neonazi school shooter. Like they were talking about a lot if this stuff already in response to that. This was just an even better excuse.
While it’s true they would still find something, what the something is still affects how the general public feels. They’ll be a little more ok with it than if the justification were just obviously false, but much less than if it had been a universally beloved figure who was killed.

I gotta be real with you: I don’t trust Americans anymore to be like that. Simple as that. We have completely lost our fucking minds.
I’m not American so I have to defer to your judgement, but is this really true of the broader public? Obviously yes die hard trump supporters are gonna be freaks about it, but just average people?
My view is that average Americans are comfortable letting it happen. Like the “treats-pilled” analysis often brought up here is IMO a 1-1 representation of how the average American operates. But I’ve always been a pessimist so maybe take my analysis with a grain of salt.
Like not to be incessant here, but IMO the reason this is happening isn’t because of Kirk’s killing or anything consequential to the fascists themselves or the government, but simply because leftists, LGBTQ people, POC, disabled people, the poor, etc., continue to merely exist while the fascists are still in power. And as long as liberals try to politely share the stage with the fascists, fascist violence will continue to destroy us.
So far, the biggest detriment I see to organizing the left in the US in a socialist manner is foreign policy. It seems really hard to get US people to understand it. It takes way too much reading of news and knowledge of history. Not to mention, being in the imperial core, US foreign policy mostly benefits them.
Killing Kirk really did just speed up this violent crackdown on the left into overdrive.
Did it though? If Kirk wasn’t assassinated, they would have just invented a pretense. IMO they’re just doing what they have planned for all this time.

Funny thing is it’s a worse excuse becauae the killer is cis, but it’s a flashier headline because it was a celeb that got killed

I guess so

I get that

The Charlie Kirk assassination is becoming our Reichstag fire. This is just the dumbest timeline.
The only thing I can say for sure is it’s not enough for one fascist to fall.
