Many of the people infected with your ideology felt a surge of glee when they heard about the assassination. They watched the hit on social media multiple times and felt like justice had been served. Many even began to celebrate it in "safe spaces" like Blue sky and Reddit.

Then, the inevitable backlash occurred when others saw this abhorrent behavior and began to call it out. The first line of defense was to say, "It's a big country, you always get outliers like that!"

The next line of defense was to say, "Whaddabout Paul Pelosi? You guys made jokes about that vicious attack that could have put him in a hospital."

But this didn't address the nagging doubts about whether it was YOU who was the psychotic weirdo.

So, many sifted through the Charlie Kirk quotes they could find. Often incorrect, like when the NYT said he made anti-Semitic statements IN HIS FUCKING OBITUARY. The ensuing retraction and "apology" was almost comical. "Although Charlie didn't say that, it's the type of philosophy that led right wingers to shoot Jews."

Charlie was a bad, bad person so our little celebration wasn't so bad. After all, did anyone mourn Hitler?

The other tactic was to try to cast doubt that the shooter was really a member of the tribe. His parents are republicans! The ATF is walking back the story on the bullets being inscribed! He's a member of something I just read about at the Daily Beast, the Groyper Army!

The final stage will be throwing the whole thing into the memory hole. Did that really even happen? You can do this because you live in a pernicious bubble where RightThink is rigorously enforced with the threat of humiliation and banishment.

I feel sorry for you.
