What they’re doing is desperately trying to paint a picture where america is evenly divided about it. The reality is maybe 10% of people are such dumb braying hogs they actually liked Charlie Kirk, but the media is trying as hard as they can to make that look 50/50 (and pump up the actual ratio as much as possible) so that they have an excuse and justification for intensified repression of the left. Can’t do that if it’s obvious theres no real support for it.
Same shit happened with Thompson where they tried to manufacture the consent that people were shocked and afraid because a social murderer got offed and no one bought it.
