Someone was just murdered for his opinions so no, that doesn’t seem likely. I think that’s one cancelation too far, and I don’t think there’s going to be any meaningful coming back from it.


Why is this the turning point and not, say, the attempts (and successful assassination of one) on Minnesota lawmakers a few months ago?


Just a guess, but in that case, very few people really knew who those lawmakers were, and there wasn't camera footage of the murder in that case to be spread virally on social media.


A lot of the media coverage this week begins with an introduction to Mr. Kirk. Do you think he was a household name?
