Porky is terrified holy shit. They are so scared that they are next, they set up losers like Kirk to funnel people towards being good little obedient fascists, but if the people reject their fash figureheads, it means they're close to rejecting capitalism entirely. I hope this mass suppression and mass mourning of a terrible person Streisand effects itself into people in the US actually looking more into communism and opposing capital.
I have only actually encountered a single lib who has actually bought their line about how celebrating the death of even a terrible person makes you even worse than them, and even that lib is fully aware that the far right are going to use this as an excuse to escalate violence against others, and increase censorship and surveillance. He's the libbest lib I know of, I only keep tabs on him because he always give the worst possible takes, but even he is at least partially aware of how fucked up things are (even if he is still unironically doing the "they go low, we go high" thing in 2025).
