Concerning the MAGA GOP's Extraordinary Uproar Over the Assassination of Right-Wing Extremist and Evangelist Charlie Kirk in a MAGA-GOP State, Utah
Donald Trump is already demagoguing this death and that of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska with his tactic of making incendiary allegations and stoking and inflaming the MAGA cult for action or mass support for his action on his biased and often baseless or flimsy-basis allegations. He and MAGA will demagog anything that is demagogically politically exploitable, for power. He wants to shut down and censor political criticism of himself, MAGA and the GOP, while scapegoat ranting and railing against liberals and Democrats and making wild and incendiary allegations against and big lies about them, and establish for himself, as he is openly trying to do currently, presidential domestic military control (rule) of the USA.
Part I
In the days following the hammer attack by David Depape on the head of Paul Pelosi, the husband of US Congresswoman. former Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, of the Democratic Party, at their home in San Francisco, CA on 10-28-2022, MAGA members of the Republican Party applauded and joked about the attack in the mass media and circulated slanderous QAnon stories about Paul Pelosi maintaining that Paul Pelosi had incited the attack on himself, blaming the victim, including by one such theory by a right-wing, infamous ultra-billionaire, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_on_Paul_Pelosi , https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-shares-video-mocking-hammer-attack-on-pelosi-s-husband/ar-AA1M7OqV?ocid=socialshare, https://www.forbes.com/sites/antoniopequenoiv/2023/09/29/trump-mocks-hammer-attack-on-pelosis-husband-in-incendiary-speech/ , https://gizmodo.com/elon-musk-nancy-pelosi-paul-attack-apology-conspiracy-1850049972?utm_source=gizmodo.com&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=share . After the recent gun-killing attacks on and of both Minnesota State Speaker of the House Melissa Hortman and her husband, Democrats, and gun-wounding attacks on and of both former Minnesota State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Democrats, at their respective homes on 04-14-2025 by a MAGA-mentality gunman, there was little vociferous sympathy for them and condemnation of the shooter and call the maximum criminal punishment of him by the MAGA GOP, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_shootings_of_Minnesota_legislators . By the way, the two attempted-assassination sniper shooters of Trump during the 2024 US presidential election campaign were MAGA Republicans, as was the US special-forces active-duty soldier, a sergeant, who suicidally crashed a Tesla Cybertruck into the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, NV, on New Year's Day, 01-01-2025, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Las_Vegas_Cybertruck_explosion , apparently in protest of then political chums US President-elect Trump and Tesla Motors-owner Elon Musk considering enlarging H-1B Visa hiring of non-white talent from abroad by US Corporations. Almost all of the mass shooters have been MAGA-friendly QAnon and MAGA-mentality affiliated. Very few in the GOP and none in the MAGA GOP have expressed the outrage and publicly profuse grief they are about the gun shooting, in a MAGA state, for Charlie Kirk, about the constant gun-shooting mass killings and woundings of school children and folks at supermarkets and houses of worship, for whom even Kirk said were necessary sacrifices to keeping the 2nd Amendment false god of the US Constitution, https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/charlie-kirk-once-said-some-gun-deaths-worth-it-in-order-to-have-second-amendment/ar-AA1MiOwY -- whereas former and late US Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren Burger said in effect that the solely personal right of citizens to keep and bear arms, independently of their belonging to and being regulated as members of the state militias, governed by the state legislatures and governors, ruling (the personal-gun-rights ruling) of the Supreme Court was a politically and commercially-motivated deliberate misinterpretation of the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution, https://youtu.be/hKfQpGk7KKw?si=T4EoDa937vx4V2Uv .

"Murder of Nia Wilson
On July 22, 2018, three sisters, Nia, Letifah and Tashiya Wilson, [2] were attacked by a man wielding a knife, later identified as John Cowell, after exiting a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) train at MacArthur station in Oakland, California. 18-year-old Nia Wilson died after her throat was slashed. Her older sister, Letifah, was stabbed in the neck but survived. Tashiya was not physically harmed, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Nia_Wilson .
Suspect
Twenty-seven year-old John Cowell [12] has been described as a 5 feet, 8 inch tall white man. [13] Cowell was raised in Concord, California where he lived on and off for years.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — A man accused of stabbing a woman in San Francisco's Chinatown on Monday has been charged with multiple felonies, according to the District Attorney's Office.
Fook Poy Lai, 61, allegedly stabbed a 58-year-old woman in front of a bakery in Chinatown, leaving her "seriously injured," prosecutors said.
Lai is charged with attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, battery causing serious bodily injury, false imprisonment and second-degree burglary, the District Attorney's Office said.

A large part of this is that there are lots of socially maladapted and dysfunctional time-bomb people in the USA, as well as in almost all impoverished 3rd-world nations with a minimal or no social safety net and no help or rehabilitation services, as well as many of all socioeconomic strata who are externally adapted and normal, but not at all internally, in which eventually the hidden gross maladaption and dysfunction break out or come to have a double life -- (fallen-but-remorseful, with exception, youthful folly, minor, petty, or relativistically benign maladaption and/or dysfunction is/are, for the most part, pardonable or okay). Sometimes, in the case of these knife attacker-killers, they may commit horrendous attacks in order to be returned permanently or until execution to prison, that provides food, shelter, clothing and care as well as an inmate community and which is better to them than being unemployed, unemployable and homeless or precariously housed in civilian society. It must be born in mind that proportionally very few homeless people, less than in the housed population of the USA, engage in violence or such violence despite their miserable living conditions and lives.

At the bottom of this page is a click-on access recording of a radio broadcast that more fully cites the violence-related excesses of right-wing political actors against Democratic Party-affiliated government officials, including but more than the recent burning of the home of Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, the planned, but law-enforcement disrupted, kidnapping of Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan by a Michigan militia group, the almost fatal gun-shooting assault on now former US Congresswoman Gabby Gifford of Arizona.*
The political implications, with the capture of the evidenced and confessed killer of Charlie Kirk, of then and now of the MAGA politics that came before the capture
In his civil-war lynch-mob-rallying hate and hysteria fomenting and threatening rhetoric and harangue of baseless allegations and blame of the radical leftist monolith for Charlie Kirk's assassination (before the law-enforcement apprehension of an evidence-based criminal suspect, or the culprit, for the gun-shooting murder), echoed by a fusillade of other MAGA government officials and media figures and a Hitler-salute ultra-billionaire, Trump et al. persist, in WWII Hitler-NAZI propaganda minister Josef Goebbel's mass-mind manipulation tactic of repeating the same big lie over and over again until it is believed as truth by the regime's or cult's adherents (ditto-head dupes), in purveying their politically manufactured myth of a radical left monolith boogeyman (fiction) terrorizing and besieging conservatives (a misuse of the word conservative by them, as a substitute term, in cover-up for its underlying dog-whistle reference to MAGA adherents to the identity and ideology of MAGA white nationalist supremacism) and the nation with violence coupled with Trump et al.'s demand of an end on the part of Democrats and other critics of Trump et al. to comparisons of them, including Kirk, to fascists, etc., and their claim that such US Constitutional citizens' intellectually-founded right-of-freedom-of-speech comparisons are inducing the gun-shooter assassins or assassination attempts (comparisons that are irrelevant to and somehow do not induce nonstop non-political tantrum and personal-grievance attention-seeking weekly multiple, on average, mass gun shootings of innocent or ordinary folks at venues of all kinds throughout the USA, as well as gun shootings involved in the commission of straightforwardly or pure, perhaps many more, crimes. Trump, in his harangue, legitimately cited only the one case, apart from the two assassination attempts against him by registered white-man MAGA Republicans, of a gun-shooting assault on and wounding of Republican US Congressman Steve Scalise of the state of LA (although it appeared to be also intended for all of the other Congressmen too at the same congressmember basketball game in Washington, D.C.), which occurred in 2017, whose life as well as those of the other congressmen on site was/were saved by two black American federal security guards, of whom it was Crystal Griner who gunned down the assailant and sustained a wound to her ankle in doing so, https://youtu.be/QVcqy7KLEKc?si=LdBbxJoxFWUrDzbC. Ironically, MAGA-GOP US Congressman Steve Scalise was publicly noted well before then for associating himself with historically true terrorist racists and racism -- click on the following hyperlink to access and read the details, https://newrepublic.com/post/176154/republicans-nominate-steve-scalise-speaker-david-duke-without-baggage.

Conclusion: The implication of the above-described before and after conduct of the Trump and MAGA-dominated federal government as of the news-media reported assassination of Charlie Kirk, the period before the law-enforcement apprehension of his assassin, until the apprehension of his assailant, the period as of and after the apprehension of his assassin, is that -- like with the 01-06-2021 insurrectionist attempt by MAGA political activists (including GOP US Congressional Representatives and Senators in the House and Senate chambers of the US Congress constitutionally convened and consigned to certify the Electoral College electoral vote electing Joe Biden US President) to overturn the election results of the November 3rd of 2020 US presidential election, by a riotous mob invading the US Congress from outside and administratively by MAGA-GOP congressmembers within the chambers of the US Congress, in favor of its loser then-incumbent President Donald Trump, who lost that election to Biden by both large popular and electoral vote margins -- Trump and his MAGA folks in government, the mass media and civilian-society power are again clearly hankering and politically and administratively maneuvering for the overthrow our USA Constitutional Bill-of-Rights, Mutual-Checks-and-Balances Three-Independent-Branches form-of-government Republic and are grasping for any politically salable excuse or argument to do this forcefully and bloodily with both the achieved supportive acquiescence and frightful passivity of a majority of the US population and to replace it with a Trump-MAGA autocrat-led authoritarian form of government. Evidentially, there are true conservative Republicans as well as MAGAs within the now Trumpian MAGA-GOP who reject the Democratic Party but are against autocracy and are loyal to the Republican Party itself in principle but foremost to our US Constitutional Bill-of-Rights Republic form of government. They can perceive and variously think for themselves and may view themselves as genuinely patriotic, with respect to our form of government, in their hearts, absent the showy paraphernalia, ceremony and fanfare of postured and herd-mentality, blind-minded patriotism. (Read William Shakespeare's insightful play 'Julius Caesar.' In it, he is no icon of veneration and for submission to by his peers in wealth and power loyal, to the risk and sacrifice of their fortunes and lives, first to their fallen, by him, Republic of Rome and its restoration. Nor did they fear his powerful successors and allies. They formed armies and no doubt their fighters of all ranks felt the same as they did, independently of them.)
