So I’m browsing my phone and I see Kyle Rittenhouse, remember that shithead? He’s famous because he killed someone. The right tried to turn him into a celebrity but he was so helpless he couldn’t hack it. He couldn’t handle being on a leash for thousands of dollars. I’d embarrass myself on a street corner frequented exclusively by people I have a crush on for the kind of money this murderer threw away.

Meanwhile Charlie Kirk was a genius by comparison. A bright rising star. Still a fucking racist dumbass but capable of wearing a suit and putting on an act. Capable of speaking while holding eye contact. Capable of subtly decreasing the circumference of his face. Remember the bar is “not a remorseless murderer” so clearing it isn’t impressive but I will give Charlie credit where it’s due: he didn’t kill anyone.

And I think about this. How the right wing is so destructive it can’t help but be self destructive. It produces white male gunmen and here’s 2 case examples from within their own house: Charlie gets killed by the kind of person they defended in Kyle. Enshitification in action. What a bummer. What a letdown. Poor Charlie couldn’t even find a partner who would mourn his passing. Meanwhile Kyle, the guy they all wish they could forget is still around.

It’s a brutal fate. shrug-outta-hecks. Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy.

    the best thing about rittenhouse is how they have to pretend he’s based and alpha because now they’re too deep in to admit he’s a chinless little weirdo with zero rizz

      He is also just one of the dumber people to rise to the position he did. Like, unable to complete basic literacy tests stupid. You realize why he failed to be an influencer quickly when you realize just how incredibly stupid he is even compared to the low bar that is conservative influencer level intelligence.
