That is no surprise at all. Musk encourages this far-right violence. People cheering him on as funny and clever are helping this happen.
Tumblr media
Musk is the [worldwide] enemy.

The GOP aren't about having solutions, they're about making more problems to get people outraged and then making up problems to distract people from problems they've created or made worse.
Tumblr media
House Republicans can't govern because their electorate have grievances that involve negative actions. Republicans can not improve a situation, they can make something worse.

That too often happens. We assume that someone else will solve the problem and they all assume that someone else will.
“And Susan was bright enough to know that the phrase ‘Someone ought to do something’ was not, by itself, a helpful one. People who used it never added the rider ‘and that someone is me.’ But someone ought to do something, and right now the whole pool of someones consisted of her, and no one else.”
— Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

Do it! Grandpa should be wondering how he's still alive when he was fighting in WW2! And Krusty is wondering how a TV clown is still somehow popular! Kind of like Treehouse of Horror II where he has to perform constantly!
Mayhaps it's like that Justice League story with the Justice Guild.
If I were president of Doctor Who, I'd make a Simpsons episode and I'm not joking
