The funniest part of this is the “battle lines” being drawn on differing perspectives.
Usually it’s a culture war thing. Liberals say X, conservatives say Y. Vice versa also happens. Big sweeping statements are made over relatively minor events.
This time the best indicator of what someone thinks of this is how establishment they are. NPR and Fox News are both reporting this as a tragedy. Meanwhile basically every single culture war influencer under the sun is just like “yeah talk removed get hit LMAO”.
In real life, I have friends who aren’t celebrating this. Again the demarcation isn’t political, but philosophical. My friends who are inclined to follow the rules no matter what disapprove, and everyone else finds it sort of morbidly funny. Even then the disapproval is sort of a milequost “even if he had it coming, extrajudicial killing isn’t okay”.
That’s kind of hopeful, then. The red vs. blue chapter has to end. It kind of looks like blue lost, but history isn’t over (even if blue thought it was) and there will be another chapter.
