Worse, he’s now annoying outside the US. Bunch of right-wingers who two weeks ago didn’t know he existed feeling personally under attack.
“Strike me down and I’ll become more annoying than you can possibly imagine”
come on, at least make his face the correct size…
Turning him into the new ‘Murican Yesus
Hat take: He isn’t even dead. The whole thing was staged. Just look at the crowds at his funeral … can you imagine to manage an event that huge in just a couple of days?
Benadryl is not your friend dude
This might be the clearest example of “making a martyr out of him” in recent memory.
I heard this phrase in movies and books growing up. People would say “nah we can’t kill him, that would just make a martyr out of him.” And I would always think come on, is that really going to stop someone from killing a rebel or agitator or whatever?
Well, we saw a second rate YT political influencer elevated to “13th disciple in Valhalla” status just by being shot. So I guess there’s your answer.
You think it will be the same for Trump? Worth it still.
Let’s find out!
It’s John Economos, from Peacemaker!
meh, it’s still great he’s dead and in the most ironic way possible. this “martyr” stuff was always worrying about nothing. do you really think any of them (except Candice Owens i think?) cared at all that he is dead? nope they only saw his corpse as a means to climb higher. just like the random car jacking of some nobody was justification to have the national guard lock down two cities. if they don’t have an excuse they would find one anyway.
It’s the ultimate defense. Make people not want to kill anyone else.
I mean they’ve played a bit of a stupid game with this one
All the wacko gun nuts are on the right, just like the shooter
They’ve demonstrated that if a right wing gun nut shoots a high profile right wing personality, the establishment will blame & target left wing people whilst making excuses and “prayers” for the shooter.
Strategically speaking they have to be really really banking on that guy being the only crazy guy out there with a gun.
I’m ahead of the game. If you go far enough left you get your guns back.
Oh don’t worry I’m aware there are armed responsible leftists
I’ve just not read of any going on an automatic rifle rampage against kids, so I assume the wackos are predominantly on the other side of the divide
Apologies, misread you. We got gun nuts like me on the left, but the whacko killers are on the right. And that doesn’t seem so much an opinion, more of a fact that evidence backs up.
Had a conservative friend in 2019 or so. Brought up that right-wing violence was the FBI’s #1 concern (at the time, on their website). He fucking exploded on me, never seen him so mad. “There go one now!”
A high bar
Weird version of the Streisand Effect
He was completely obscured by bigger assholes for quite a while now.
The other concerning thing is like with most terrorist organizations when you take out a leader someone more radicalized will take there spot.
