I wish it hadn’t come to this point. Like, I daydream about all these shitty nazis going down swiftly in one way or another. So I might get to live my life in peace in the near future, instead of having to wait til I’m old for fascism to recede again (if I even survive, being a trans woman). But something actually happening has tons of complications attached. I don’t want fucko’s death to lead to some crackdown, or more right-wingers committing shootings (when they already have the near monopoly on shootings, and for all we know Kirk’s killer might’ve been one too) or galvanizing of MAGA shit. And by galvanizing, I mean people who were like “This isn’t what I voted for!” and suffering, suddenly popping back into full cult mode.
But of course, at the same time, I know it doesn’t matter. Regardless of what happened, they’d find an excuse to do a crackdown, or have trump mumble some shit to rile up the cult. Or they’d just do some more fashy shit with no prior justification anyway if they never got an inciting incident to fill the excuse role.
I guess I just want all this to resolve with minimal deaths, for the regime to topple and the members and the media/influencers who helped get us here to be tried and convicted, and other ones like the supreme court getting impeached so there’s tons of precedent being set to avoid this happening again in 80-100 more years. But it definitely won’t stay minimal or involve court rulings if we start getting more and more shootings of specific targets and if we start seeing retaliation following said assassinations.
Though when right-wingers assassinated those Minnesota democrats some months back, or when Pelosi’s husband got beaten nearly to death in his own home, Kirk and Trump, and other figureheads, as well as a flood of nobody right-wingers on social media who are all now up in arms and angry about Kirk’s death, just got smug and cheered and jeered about it. So, thoughts and prayers for dickhead and the family he leaves behind, and I guess we just wait and see what comes next in this little circus of bullshit.
