Porky is terrified holy shit. They are so scared that they are next, they set up losers like Kirk to funnel people towards being good little obedient fascists, but if the people reject their fash figureheads, it means they're close to rejecting capitalism entirely. I hope this mass suppression and mass mourning of a terrible person Streisand effects itself into people in the US actually looking more into communism and opposing capital.
I have only actually encountered a single lib who has actually bought their line about how celebrating the death of even a terrible person makes you even worse than them, and even that lib is fully aware that the far right are going to use this as an excuse to escalate violence against others, and increase censorship and surveillance. He's the libbest lib I know of, I only keep tabs on him because he always give the worst possible takes, but even he is at least partially aware of how fucked up things are (even if he is still unironically doing the "they go low, we go high" thing in 2025).
“When they cut off our heads, we’ll give them a haircut.”
I think more than anything else theyre terrified of an actual hard fascist insurgency rising up. They've been so overly eager to try to pin this on a left ideology that it seems like the only thing that really terrifies them is their base of well-off 20 somethings actually disciplining their politicians into action against their enemies. Right now the major leaders of both parties are really just conservatives, and Trump doesnt really have the brain power or ability to wield the State in an effective fascist position, all he can really do is turn some dials on the racism and see what everyone really lets him get away with. But hes well past the point of formulating a vision and aesthetic for the country when he's constantly mired in pedophilia scandals and the contradictions of capitalism.
All they have is a literally dying aesthetic and figurehead and no formulation of how to govern into the future. Really what I see happening from here is a hard coup from some action of the deep state/Israel or (unlike the democrats) their base finally revolts against them in an orgiastic spurt of violence that is going to make the troubles in Ireland/England look like a walk in the park.
