"The ultimate expression of that is obviously Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk gets shot and people are celebrating! Like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You want people to die that you disagree with? Where are we right now on the scale of one to civil war? Where are are we? Are we at seven? Because I thought we were at five. I thought there we were at like four, four or five."
"As soon as you start celebrat-, like regular people celebrating somebody getting murdered in front of their wife and kid on television in front the whole world, as soon as you celebrate that, like man you're in dark territory. You're in dark territory and if the worst thing you could say about that guy is that he said some things I disagree with, and you're celebrating that he got shot in the neck in front of the world?"
An overcorrection toward woke, far-left ideology is creating intensified ideological conflict and societal pushback. Extreme reactions to political differences are increasingly visible and normalized. The shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk and subsequent online celebrations serve as an example of that normalization. Public celebratory responses to political violence signal a willingness to endorse harm against ideological opponents. Such behavior marks dark territory and represents an escalation toward potential civil war. Tensions on a one-to-civil-war scale increased after these reactions. Social media posts from ordinary professionals celebrating violence are particularly alarming.
