We had unbelievable luck, with the Kenosha incident.
First of all, they were rioting. Sometimes they don't, and the incident could have happened at one of those times. But Kyle was genuinely trying to prevent a gas station from being set alight.
And the arsonists had targetted a used car lot owned by Indian (non-white!) immigrants.
Second of all, the people he shot. Not ALL demonstrators, and not even all rioters, are felons, much less paedophile rapists. What are the odds that they three who attacked him would all be people with a criminal record? Imagine if he had shot a pretty little naive college girl, even by mistake.
Third, there is Kyle himself. You couldn't find a better poster boy for our side, to appeal to the broad middle, the middle-class, the soccer moms whom Trump drove away. Almost goody-goody to a fault, naive, earnest, eager to help, taking lifesaving courses. And a wonderful witness.
A perfect trifecta for our side. Okay, he could have been Black. But you can't have everything.
I've followed the comments on Youtube videos about the case, which have gotten hundreds of thousands of views and thousands upon thousands of comments. They are 99% pro-Kyle. More importantly, they seem to be from young males (the main Youtube watchers) who, judging from what they say in their comments, are not political, although many are probably 'red-pilled'.
This is an important demographic for us to reach. These people don't watch Ben Shapiro and Candace Owen, don't care about the Socialist Calculation Question, and many are probably not in college, or not in the kind of colleges that YAF and Turning Point are in. A lot of them probably are not even registered to vote. This case has awakened them.
We ought to devote some time to thinking about how to reach this group and draw them into activity which could deepen their political understanding. Suggestions welcome.
