    Honestly, this may be the thing that finally wakes the MAGAs up. Most people don’t condone the murder, but everyone understands the anger and frustration that led to it. Pundits on the right are trying to spin this away, and it’s just not working. Even Ben Shapiro got roasted in his own comments section for his United Healthcare take. This may be the largest moment of class consciousness I’ve seen in my lifetime.

      But we’re ill-prepared to capitalize upon this moment - I’m not seeing any organizing of any kind of uprising, so this unique opportunity is going to slip away before long. We need somebody good at inspiring the masses to take the lead on this ASAP.

        I honestly wouldn’t worry about it too much. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from school shootings, it’s that there will always be another person with a gun. Soon, Americans, who have been told that they just had to accept gun violence as a fact of life, will be watching politicians move heaven and earth to protect the ruling class. There will be plenty of opportunities to organize.
