Only a lefty could play the victim card after a left radicalist killer does what he deep down wanted to happen.

People have often wondered why Trump didn't go after the far left organisations in his first term and wasn't going after them so far in his second despite continually whining about them......until the Kirk assassination.
It's because the far left help get him elected.....politicians live by focus groups and the republicans know that the fruitcakes and extremists on the Democrat side is a very worthwhile banner for them to point at during election cycles. The constant culture war helps them.
Silently there will be many on the mainstream left who will privately be glad to see Trump attacking the progressives as it will strengthen their place within the Democrats.....publicly they will of course condemn it in the strongest terms.
However, when elites themselves catch bullets then that's a whole different ball game.....I though the Trump assassination attempts would do this (but maybe there's something else to that I don't know). However the murder of the much loved Kirk has changed calculations......Especially since Trump doesn't have to personally worry about popularity now.
I think for organisations like Turning Point to continue to safely exist within universities the money behind far left 'Antifa' types of organisations are going to be looked at closely. The gloves might be coming off for them.
If they react violently it will play into Trump's hands.....of course they will.
It will be interesting to see what happens to the donors behind these organisations though.

This is what happens when you advocate extremism. It comes back and rips your head off (metaphorically)

The left cancelled people for silly decades old joke tweets and Facebook posts.
The right are about to cancel people for celebrating violence and murder.
