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.

My Asian FOB wife who only pays attention to politics peripherally even believes there’s a Dem deep state now. Multiple Dem friends voting Rep for the first time this election after yesterday. The silent majority is getting behind Trump. Dems are F’d
