OH one thing though-!! in the first paragraph where you say he looked like he was reaching up to his neck is decorticate posturing- which is an indicator of sudden major brain damage caused by the bullet shattering in his neck and scrambling up his brain and spinal cord and stuff- he was dead as soon as it hit him :D
You make a good point: it's important to remember that things aren't the way they are because of Trump only: there is a whole system holding him up. And thank you for bringing attention to the school shooting that happened on the same day
I understand what you mean. I am always a bit hesitant of social commentary because it tends to get so emotional that all nuance is lost and it degrades into aggression over knee-jerk reactions...Generally, I am not too surprised by the composition of the presidential cabinet; that was the point of "Project 2025," the federal employee "buyouts," etc. The "power moves" are tiresome.
Likewise, while I see most "media" as a form of "information warfare," I would not necessarily consider the channels being flooded with that as a smokescreen to divert attention from other shootings. Rather, it seems like a mix of steadily increasing amounts of desensitization to violence and sensationalism being used as attempts to hold people's attention. They often feedback into one another.
However, as crazy as it might sound, I have seriously considered the possibility that Mr. Kirk's death might have been "friendly fire," as a means of "justifying" the escalation of violence...a further "acceleration" of "change" by...Well, whether they are "far right" or "far left" doesn't really matter at that point...In that light, I see your comment of "military junta" insightful.
"The Myth of Redemptive Violence" is seductive. It makes one out to be a "hero" among "victims" fighting against "tyrannical villains." But "power" will drive anyone mad, and the "six types of power" are just various ways of utiliizing force and manipulation to control others...Recognize evil yet?

I wonder what people expect when they resort to violence as a means of furthering their own opinions rather than the dignity of human life? Perhaps the social structure itself begins to reflect it? https://letslearntogether.neocities.org/compute/Yesterweb/lovechange The structure churns like a gyre. https://letslearntogether.neocities.org/scispirit/SysDyn/sustainsys
