Agreed, and I think part of this is Pritzker gets more than most how being the anti-Trump isn't trying to out-funny the funny man, to compete in the irony-poised joke game, to be another outlandish character. It's being earnest and serious about the stakes of a real crisis, like a functional adult.

This'd be more convincing if you provided any evidence that your profession has reported that Kirk "didn't want to fly with black pilots." It's well known what he did say, and that he doubled down on it when asked to clarify later. Googling those phrases turns up tons of accurately reported quotes.

It sounds like he's a terminally online kid who engraved memes on casings. If he'd fired the "Notices Bulge, OwO What's This" cartridge instead, would you be going down this same path of "there's gotta be an ideological reason?" Would we be debating whether or not he's a Furry?

Kirk didn't serve in the military or hold office. The war hero treatment -- half-mast flags, military guard, Air Force Two escort, calls for a statue at the Capitol or to lie in the Rotunda -- shows that for MAGA, service to Trump has become the highest, most honorable form of service.

"Three down arrows" is being widely interpreted as an antifa logo. But the full description of the inscription is "up right down down down," and the other inscription, "Hey fascist, catch!" both come from the game Helldivers 2. Online culture is such a morass of symbols/meanings. Watch your step.
