Which is ridiculous because nothing has changed, they’re still doing exactly what they were doing when he was alive.
This idea that you can never do anything or the fascists might use it as an excuse to do what they’re already doing is one of the most infuriating thing about Americans.
The fact they’ve turned MAGA on MAGA violence into a false flag against the left shows that they will use ANY opportunity to target political opposition and justify the accelerationism they were already doing.
They were probably expecting far more protests, and protest violence, by now against ICE, nat guard, etc. Might as well use MAGA terrorism to justify what they planned to do all along with ICE terrorism; potato, potatoe.
They’re openly calling for the end to the 1st amendment now, and not getting pushback.
Yes, this was always the plan, but the assassination gives them.cover to do it now instead of doing it slowly over the course of years. That means that by the time the next election comes around, being a registered Democrat will get you on a terror list.
Not really. This has given the mainstream media cover to lionize and normalize his hate, and has muted criticism of further crackdowns the Trump admin is now planning. Yes, they were always going to try but this makes it more likely they succeed.
It’s also been a huge distraction from other important issues.

You mean like they’ve been doing for decades, since Trump was a TV personality? Trump has always been treated with kid gloves. He’s the dipshit who started the “birther” conspiracy against Obama.
No, the sycophancy for Charlie Kirk we’re seeing right now is unlike anything I’ve seen before.
Also, the media has frequently and harshly criticized Donald Trump, though we’re seeing less of that in term 2 as he’s tightening his grip on power. If anything it would have been better to just ignore him and maybe he never would have gotten anywhere. But obviously that’s hindsight.
It’s not new but this is making it worse, that’s all I’m saying. Leftists are already widely maligned and feeding that fire is more dangerous than people want to admit.
Cover be damned they were gonna do it anyway. Unless you want to overthrow the government or abandon the democratic party for one that is actually willing to oppose fascism it won’t matter what cover they are given.
I’m not sad he’s dead. I hate how he died because it’s giving cover to their acceleration of their fascism.

This. Trying to be nice and quiet so they won’t keep doing what they always do is the mentality of a battered spouse.

So WTF were leftists supposed to do instead? Have a psychic premonition that a deranged groyper was gonna shoot Kirk and jump in front of the bullet?
i think we were already well beyond “slowly, over the course of years.”

I don’t necessarily disagree with you, but this is not a new thing. It’s just becoming more obvious.

they didn’t need and don’t care about cover for what they’re doing.
Cover be damned they were gonna do it anyway. Unless you want to overthrow the government or abandon the democratic party for one that is actually willing to oppose fascism it won’t matter what cover they are given.
