Tyler Robinson, the alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk, is speculated to be a Groyper based on his memes and rhetoric. Groypers are a loose network of alt right pro Trump extremist who are vocal supporters of white supremacist and “America First” podcaster Nick Fuentes.

To review: an apparent right wing civil war between white Christian nationalist Groypers and white Christian nationalist college campus activists results in the murder of a leader of the latter; and that will now spark a 1930s-style putsch against liberals by the fascists who run the country.

Very weird that anyone in the press covers Trump’s illegal domestic military deployments as a crime story when the White House Press Secretary openly says “every Democrat-run city” instead of “high-crime city.” That’s not merely repeating their lie, it’s changing an admission into a lie for them.

Trump dying in office after Biden lived through his term would be such an indictment of the press. Made “Biden Old” the top story, treating it as an uncovered secret, a scandal. Then lamented not covering it even more. All while treating “Trump Old” as a nonstory. Because he’s loud and lies a lot.
