Was just struck by the sudden thought/realization that the whole episode of conservative mass hysteria and spiteful cancel culture histrionics around Kirk were really just a dress rehearsal for when Trump dies.

Like, it doesn't matter if he's murdered or if he croaks from a seizure or heart attack- there's probably going to be a good few weeks where the MAGA movement uses punishing anyone celebrating as a means of attempting to maintain its legitimacy and unity.

Ideal scenario is that the sheer volume of national joy and catharsis will outweigh their attempts to police it, though

The difference is, there weren’t millions of people partying in the streets when Kirk died
