1. Gimme a BREAK...

guess we should all go and cower under the covers now. Just a ridiculous thread IMO.

[Chasstev365]

3. You don't think MAGA will want vengeance?

And who said anything about cowering.

BTW: He's dead. It just broke.

5. Its going to happen in some form or another

there will be significant blowback from this ...

8. Color Me Dubious

I would bet $100 that 80% of MAGA have no idea who Kirk is/was.

10. Why would you think that?

TPUSA has been around since 2012, and Kirk was not only a darling of right wing media, but he was a featured speaker at a Republican convention. He's been the face of MAGA grooming in high schools and college campuses. I'm sure there are some MAGAs who have never heard of him, but I'd guess it's closer to 10%.

11. Because I Just Do

He's a conservative beltway darling, but MAGA lives elsewhere.
So, that's what I think.
We're both guessing.
I'm staying with my guess.

12. I have several non beltway MAGA who are on my Facebook

and many of them have posted about Kirk's death. While I don't think rioting in the streets is likely, they aren't ignorant of who he is. I will also say if the assassin in transgender, I have no doubt that Trump will push further to have their rights lessened.

2. Where are the white incel neighborhoods?

That's generally the profile of the shooters

4. I expect Trump to broach the subject of taking Democrats guns away, specifically

Man I really, really hope this doesn't turn out to be a person of color, or an immigrant.

7. Or a transgender person.

What I think the ultimate consequence will be is that
targeted groups will see more police and military aggression
directed at them for purposes of detention, deportation, or
slave labor.

9. Oh, definitely, that would really be bad news!!!

But mathematically the odds of that are minute in comparison to the population of the other groups I mentioned. Particularly if it's accurate reporting that it was a precise 200 yard shot from a sniper, cause in that case it seems likely that the person had military training, and I suspect the number of transgender people who receive such training in the military is very, very small. Just a guess of course. I just really hope is wasn't a member of any minority group because life is probably going to get more difficult for all members of said group, like you are saying.

6. Of course they will, and Kirk will probably get a state funeral
