    I may even experience some schadenfreude,

    Why are you describing this to me like you’re getting a secret snack from the kitchen.

    and I am pretty sure that is a normal response?

    It is, but it’s strongest among people who were taught that wishing ill on the ones cracking their whip is impolite.

    Kirk’s final words on this great green earth were “tranny tranny tranny, black gang violence, 13:50.” Is this really worth ruining your mood over? Like, it’s Sunday, you should take your son to the park or something.

      It’s strongest among those that were taught that everyone is human.

      Charlie Kirk’s death may or may not be worth ruining anyone’s mood over, but sectarian violence that threatens to snowball is. Even if the shooter turns out to be an even further right white Christian nationalist doing this to cause a further erosion of the divide, it works if people on the left are celebrating.

      Oh well, you know what they say, and eye for an eye will blind my enemies more and then everything will be just fine.

        No, it doesn’t. You are castrating yourself before the enemy.

        What public mandate allows conservatives the crackdown on liberal cities if nobody cares about the excuse they give?
