observation ~24 hrs out from the assassination attempt: the stigma of supporting trump online has for many suddenly vanished. some is no doubt short term memetic fervor but my instinct is that the event is sticky and norms have changed. curious how it trickles down irl. dinner party leftist and heartland cookout convos will remain predictable, each adhering to their own orthodoxy. a meaningful number of people on the fence or closeted trump folks though are probably unshackled, emboldened, feeling in their gut that there are fewer social consequences now for being outwardly supportive.

So exactly like 8 years ago then? Not looking forward to the inevitable spike in crime like we saw in 2016 :(

no, the opposite of 2016. part of why trump winning was such a shock and all the polls were wrong.
