Why is the press brainstorming dictatorship ideas with a fascist
Q: One theory on how you might try to serve a 3rd term is that you could run at the vice president

TRUMP: Yeah, I'd be allowed to do that. But I would rule that out because it's too cute.

all of these categories completely overlap
now that we know more about this guy it seems the options are:

1 - Helter-Skelter type accelerationism, thought violence would make the world burn
2 - Groyper who hated Kirk for being too moderate, or maybe for anti-Israel reasons
3 - guy whose brain got fried online

currently i think 1 or 3

like this is the most irresponsible level of hysteria i’ve ever seen. most of these people are either paid by the republican party, or are high level advisors and allies. this is insane

The legacy media is so out of its depth it’s borderline irresponsible

Watching the cable news commentary on the bullet engravings is wild because none of these people seem to realize that the content of the engravings are indicative of extremely online meme brain rot
September 12, 2025 at 2:51 PM
Literally, if a single gamer or even just an extremely online person had seen those engravings they’d have been able to clock those as memes. I’m not a gamer but these phrases have the cadence of memes
National political reporters: consult your gaming desk. You likely have a massively blind spot — this isn’t a dig at anyone, because I have this blind spot too b/c I’m not a gamer and am trying to adjust for it in real time — covering this very important moment if u don’t game & don’t know the memes

Nancy Mace acting on disinformation that the shooter was trans: goes off on tirade against "trannies"

Nancy Mace when the actual shooter is a Christian white man: "he's just a poor lost boy, let us pray for him."

Yesterday: No suspect in custody. "We will jump to the conclusion it was a radical trans leftist, we should persecute all people like this person"

Today: Suspect in custody is from Utah, his dad is a Christian pastor. "We can't jump to any conclusions about this person's background or ideology".

trump literally joked about her dad dying.
Seeing a lot of the below type of “they’re still bad and we’re still good” justifications on X currently.

(And just to be clear: expressions of schadenfreude and dark humor in the aftermath of death are both human experiences that do not adhere to ideological lines.)

"Since when have American flags been lowered to half-mast for a ragebait YouTuber? Why would a podcaster who never held office deserve a Capitol monument? And why are elected Democrats and institutions participating in and encouraging this?"
Since Charlie Kirk was fatally shot, people on the left have been censored, punished, and targeted with more violence for telling the truth about Kirk's legacy. The cycle continues: mainstream whitewashing of violence begets more violence and the victims are blamed.

Another pattern of censorship that only hurts the left—and emboldens political violence.

Every journalist who rushed to link this murder to trans people is bad at their job and needs to retract their shit & then be fired. Y'all really went with a rumor that would help you demonize us and make money off the ongoing fascist campaign to destroy us rather than doing your motherfucking job.

if this shooter winds up being a red-pilled groyper the Kirk newscycle length will be mysteriously cut from two months to two days

a friend and I have been debating whether the alleged Kirk shooter was either a "dirtbag left cumtown chapo stupidpol poster" or if he was an "irony poisoned, terminally online, neonazi groyper type" given the gun casings, which shows just how impenetrable this is going to be for MSM

The asymmetrical media response to political violence in America is, in itself, one of the most important contributing factors to how we arrived at this place of escalating political violence.
