Like for over 50 years American right wingers have been fuming about the liberals having managed to turn one of "their" guys into an American icon and the conservatives have mostly had to at least pretend to respect him and his legacy in public and they've felt humiliated and emasculated about it the whole time

Now they want to make the liberals bend the knee and force them to slobber over one of their guys or risking getting fired

I've been thinking about this a bit, and I think the indifference comes from just how strange it is that the entire mass media of the west is acting like the leader of a country was just assassinated. Some random nobody they've never heard of gets shot and the media spends days and days talking about this "horrific tragedy" when hundreds of people get gunned down in the US every day. It just seems so forced that even normies can recognise how fake it all is. And the instant they learn even a single thing about the guy it becomes even stranger to them, why would the media be so upset about the death of an obviously shitty person whose death seemed almost like poetic justice? The only people who seem genuinely upset here are the #thoughtsandprayers liberals that no one likes, even the CHUDs don't care, they're just in it for the grift.
