I think we have to be careful to not fall into echo chambers because I really don’t believe that most Americans share our views on this
And the media has been working overtime to convince people there is a “good” and “bad” guy. Don’t forget how the average burger brain works
Judging by comments on news articles across the political spectrum, there’s at minimum “we don’t feel bad for the CEO but maybe a little bad for his family” to “lol who’s next”
The only real pearl clutching I’m seeing is from mainstream liberals horrified that social murder is finally being met with murder.
Also judging by IRL convo: same sentiments, but more people on the lol who’s next train.
I talk with a wide range of average burger Americans daily, I have yet to encounter one who says it's a bad thing. People are legitimately hopeful because of it.
