i would like to move on but chuds refuse to stfu about this so i can’t stop thinking about it so here are some thoughts

until it happened, chuds were under this assumption that everyone left of hitler is a weak beta soythey/them who has never touched a gun and would break down at the mere sight of one. i recall when the second attempt on cheetoman happened, one of the chuds i worked with at the time was like (i’m paraphrasing) “well he didn’t get the guy, so it must be a leftist, because us conservatives actually train with guns smuglord” (this guys sucks at shooting, i know because we were both at a work event at a gun range because that’s what employment is like in the burgerreich and i can confirm this guy sucks despite dropping probably $20k on paper hole punchers). you even see it in their depictions of the most dangerous leftists as skinny black bloc teenagers wielding nothing more than skateboards. but now someone who they assume is left leaning (i still really can’t tell what this guy’s motive were) proved them wrong, which destroyed their worldview, and it’s fucked them up so badly they have no choice but to turn into what they would call “gun grabbers” to feel safe again lol.

    I think Crowder, Shapiro, Fuentes, are somewhat panicked for obvious reasons. This could be them in a few weeks/months. I don’t think Congress is as scared as they let on. Of course they’re going to push for a higher security budget because that’s good for them to have anyways. I don’t think Trump really cares. He’s already, allegedly, been shot. For Trump, it’s an opportunity to talk his book and put on a show. I didn’t really watch more than 30 seconds of this memorial but it looked like a Trump rally. While we are taken aback about how much they praise Kirk, that’s not for him, it’s for the person speaking. They’re signaling that they’re in on the scam. The higher the praise the stronger the signal. They don’t really think he’s Jesus, they’re just showing daddy that they can give a speech and prove how much they hate the hogs who eat it up. That’s really what the "panic’ is for beyond the lowly workers in the podcast mines. RFK, Trump, JD, and whoever else aren’t panicked. This is just an opportunity for all of them to add magnanimity to their resume and further strengthen bonds with/within the in-group.

    The dupes at home pick up on this via social queues but don’t actually understand what’s really going on. They think it’s real. I don’t think they’re very worried because this was just another thing they watched on the internet/TV. It didn’t happen to them. But, for a lot of the same reasons as the people in power, they will perform signaling rituals to one another. It’s just that the rituals are earnest. The hogs online will continue to talk shit because this is yet another thing that will not make them happy. Trump gets elected, they did not suddenly become fulfilled in life. Their necessities continued to be expensive, their taxes remained, there were still immigrants everywhere. But what they do have is liberals being mad Trump is the president. So they remind liberals that Trump is in power and everything he does is awesome. Spite politics is a distraction. This whole Kirk thing is just another opportunity to do that. They can’t turn it into money like Trump can but they can use it to annoy everyone online and in person (Kirk cakes, Kirk coffee at Starbucks, etc). For the chuds at home, that’s what this will be. Tyler getting lethal injection won’t make them happy. Trump won’t arrest the President of antifa. Their lives will continue to suck. Whatever fleeting genuine emotions they had will fade and turn into more spite and they’ll use it to fuck with people online.
