i would like to move on but chuds refuse to stfu about this so i can’t stop thinking about it so here are some thoughts

until it happened, chuds were under this assumption that everyone left of hitler is a weak beta soythey/them who has never touched a gun and would break down at the mere sight of one. i recall when the second attempt on cheetoman happened, one of the chuds i worked with at the time was like (i’m paraphrasing) “well he didn’t get the guy, so it must be a leftist, because us conservatives actually train with guns smuglord” (this guys sucks at shooting, i know because we were both at a work event at a gun range because that’s what employment is like in the burgerreich and i can confirm this guy sucks despite dropping probably $20k on paper hole punchers). you even see it in their depictions of the most dangerous leftists as skinny black bloc teenagers wielding nothing more than skateboards. but now someone who they assume is left leaning (i still really can’t tell what this guy’s motive were) proved them wrong, which destroyed their worldview, and it’s fucked them up so badly they have no choice but to turn into what they would call “gun grabbers” to feel safe again lol.

    Yeah I’ve been thinking it’s something similar. You gotta remember that to most chuds, their actual political ideology is an unspoken nebulous soup of white supremacy, while their outwardly facing political aesthetic is more like a roleplaying game to them. Or it’s like being a sports fan. They like Trump in the same way someone might like the Baltimore Orioles.

    Their true beliefs are that everything’s fine, white conservative men own the world, and nothing will ever change. And nothing will change because white men rule society through masculine power or whatever. But once Charlie Kirk got assassinated, I think for a lot of them it broke that spell. Things suddenly became real and the footage was everywhere.

    A lot of chuds are just being cynical and using Kirk’s death to badger the left or call for more crackdowns, but I do think this might be a weird emotional moment for them. Chuds have been coasting on feelings of invincibility both politically and in their daily lives, and now they have video footage contrary to that. It’s not a game anymore and some of them are probably realizing it never was a game, this always was real. When everyone called Charlie Kirk a fascist who should get thrown in a pit, they actually meant it and it wasn’t just some soy liberal screeching.

    Also I’m talking about the average conservative white suburban dipshit. The people with actual power and money have always been cynical and believe in nothing. But now goofball suburb chuds have to suddenly reckon with themselves, and I’m kinda curious where it might lead I guess.

    until it happened, chuds were under this assumption that everyone left of hitler is a weak beta soythey/them who has never touched a gun

    When my coworkers learned that I owned guns one of them was super confused and asked “But I thought you were gay?” Lmao. Then one asked how I could shoot a gun with painted fingernails

      ☝️ this here is a more coherent way of getting across the point was trying to make. conservative ideology is about maintaining a “natural” hierarchy, so to them when violence is inflicted upon those lower in their hierarchy (minorities, women, poor people, etc) it’s not a big deal, and maybe even based and epic, so why won’t you lighten up a little and enjoy it as dark edgy humor? but when it’s one of theirs, suddenly it’s something that needs seriousness and action from the government to make sure this doesn’t happen again.
