“This event, hosted by the conservative group Turning Point USA, is the kind of place where we are seeing a certain grim aspect of right-wing politics getting increasingly more pronounced. It is a sort of celebration and modeling of fundamentally abhorrent anti-social, violent behavior like being a jerk. That’s the Donald Trump MAGA model, of course, it’s what turned congresswoman Lauren Boebert of Colorado and Marjorie Taylor Greene into stars.
This proving that on the right, people acting as terribly as possible seems to be the thing that makes you most adored. It is a fascinating thing to watch at some level. That’s the recipe, that’s the secret sauce of this current version of right-wing politics. And it’s not just rhetorical. This is key. It’s not just rhetorical. It’s not just saying stuff that makes people upset. As you saw with the welcome for Kyle Rittenhouse, I mean, Kyle Rittenhouse is known for one thing. They are literally celebrating killing people. Now, all of this comes in a larger context, and that’s the broad fetishization of guns and violence on the right.
A recent poll from the Public Religion Research Institute found 30% of Republicans agreed with this statement: ‘Because things have gotten so far off track, true American patriots may have to resort to violence in order to save our country.’ We know there are more and more guns in America and they are held in fewer and fewer hands. We have more guns than people. About 121 firearms in circulation for every 100 residents, making the U.S. by far the most heavily armed society in the world. Most of those guns are owned by Republicans. 50% of Republicans personally own a gun and 61% live in a household with a gun, compared to 21% and 30% of Democrats.
Now, the right celebrates this. This has become a sort of core identity aspect. They celebrate it this week at Turning Point USA’s so-called America Fest with Kyle Rittenhouse at the center of it all. And I have to say, watching that tape of him walking out and the big cheering is one of the most ominous, despicable developments in our politics in recent memory, which is really saying something because, boy, we have been full of them.”
It is obvious that Chris Hayes misunderstands, or at least pretends to, why conservatives have rallied around Kyle Rittenhouse.
It has zero to do with ‘celebrating killing people’ but rather broad support for the right to self defense and a celebration of the fact that a politically motivated prosecution of an innocent kid failed when the jury saw the facts.
Conservatives also hate the smear tactics of the leftist corporate media and look forward to Kyle Rittenhouse suing the hell out of them for their lies and slander of him.
Chris Hayes is a far-left hack who is very good at riling up the few people who watch his show but is good at little else.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
