    Right? They’ve been treating the left so fairly this whole time and now we went and made them mad

    *Edit - I misread OP’s comment, and jumped on the wrong part.

      Literally the opposite of what I said but sure. Would love to hear what the fuck you believe this accomplishes to stop fascism or even right wing propaganda? If the administration actually dials it back after this, I guess I’ll buy you a fucking drink and we’ll have a good laugh about how right you were the whole time.

      Every time something like this happens, I honestly wonder how many people are actually this clueless and how many are just astroturfing/trolls working on behalf of the right and this administration to spread disinformation and outrage propaganda. I would like to believe it’s a ratio of about 15:85, but I’m also an optimist.

        I just re-read your comment and didn’t see the words “illusion of,” so I actually did misunderstand you and apologize.

        I’ll edit my comment to acknowledge that, but I’m still going to celebrate the dead fascist because it’s the news we need right now

        Well, we wont have Charlie Kirk visiting schools, and recruiting more people to the Reich Wing anymore. So, that’s a good accomplishment.

          What if the tyrants depend on manipulation and a narrative of victimhood for control, and you kinda suspect the tyrants aren’t above sacrificing their own to control that victimhood narrative?

            Then they’re going to do it anyways. If anything isn’t that a reason for more people to do it? There isn’t an infinite amount of political people
