there is at the very least poetry in a man advocating for policies that lead to gun violence dying from gun violence.

    Yeah. I get that. Especially his last words. But I’m wondering if this is a reference to his shirt? Or just the whole situation.

    probably the shirt is a synecdoche for the whole situation?

    He is free from the shackles of being a conservative grifter. Free from the shackles of having to maintain that front.

    he also freed his wife, it seems

    in some ways, his martyrdom is the best possible outcome for his movement - esp. since in the end it looks like he was killed by someone radicalized in association with trans rights
