Like not to be incessant here, but IMO the reason this is happening isn't because of Kirk's killing or anything consequential to the fascists themselves or the government, but simply because leftists, LGBTQ people, POC, disabled people, the poor, etc., continue to merely exist while the fascists are still in power. And as long as liberals try to politely share the stage with the fascists, fascist violence will continue to destroy us.

So far, the biggest detriment I see to organizing the left in the US in a socialist manner is foreign policy. It seems really hard to get US people to understand it. It takes way too much reading of news and knowledge of history. Not to mention, being in the imperial core, US foreign policy mostly benefits them.
