Breaking news: Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, was raised in a devout Mormon family. Dr. Steven Hassan examines how this religious upbringing, combined with authoritarian influence and gun culture, may have shaped Robinson’s path.
When Trump heard of Charlie Kirk's shooting did he wonder if it was done on his behalf to provide the required level of distraction to finally pry angry MAGA eyes off the Epstein saga? A gift of distraction that Trump has not been able to manage despite his best efforts? A distraction that provided Trump with headroom to continue weakening the US at home and on the world stage? Such a gift would be hugely helpful to any and all in the dictator's club who've grown increasingly adept at the hybrid-warfare art of social-media grooming of the susceptible. Such grooming has paid big dividends from Brexit, to the Tea Party->MAGA conversion, to Trump 1.0, and now Trump 2.0 with its untold damage to the US economy, human rights, and our global alliances. All of the above being of huge benefit to our adversaries.
I have long suspected that all this grooming of Manchurian-candidates coupled with American gun-culture has inadvertently (prematurely) triggered a few of them out of their internet-gamer gunning practice and into grabbing dad's AR-15 to kill "somebody". The "susceptible" have been young, socially inept, bullied loners who, once inadvertently triggered, go for nearby easy targets, such as elementary schools. I'm offering this as a "ponderable" explanation for school shootings.
Back to my beginning ponder: did one of our hybrid-warfare-savvy adversaries decide to prompt/trigger one of their groomed Manchurian-candidate assets into taking out Charlie Kirk, thus overpowering the Epstein-Maxwell news cycle, thus providing Trump with the headroom needed to continue his democracy demolition?
Ever since Cambridge Analytica provided tools to harvest lists of social media denizens divisible by personality types and political predispositions it has been possible to pump tailored propaganda, misinformation, and manipulation into the eyes and minds of a curated subset of Americans without the rest of us even getting to SEE it. That's 10 years of exposure. A 22 year old chosen to take out Charlie Kirk could have been just 12 years old when first exposed.
the best word I could find for the right is unrepentant. they cannot ever be wrong, can never be at fault and can't admit those either. they think empathy is a weakness (Nazis) and apologizing is a weakness.

Just sayin.
MAGA is the swamp
