I researched what the #TrumpRegime was doing to the American public shortly after Kirk's death. Sure enough, this complex, manipulative, power consolidation tactic called #SelectiveMourning is rooted in the #autocratic playbook. Screencaps below lay it out bare.

Also, #AlexPretti is a far more suitable person to be canonized by Americans than the regime's #autocratic, #SelectiveMourning choice, Nazi Charlie Kirk. "Remember his Sacrifice" billboards still litter my Red State landscape.

It is insane that your US media empire would bow down to a president's hypersensitive discontent with political satire, parody or criticism as well as the autocratic tactic of #SelectiveMourning,

Not as weird when you follow the autocratic playbook's tactics. For that group it's a big opportunity to dehumanize the rest of us and push us further out of democracy. #SelectiveMourning

#SelectiveMourning is very much part of an #autocrat's manipulative #PoliticalPlaybook. It strives to define and amplify which #death we're supposed to grieve for as well as any non-loyalist death we should ignore due to lack of worth.
