I get that there's an obsession within a large portion of the right with trying to beat the left at their own game, but to act as if this is a violent threat is pathetic
While I do agree that this drama is pretty weaksauce:
a) this is happening in Canada where Trudeau has 100% media control bought and paid for
b) Trudeau is organizing an astroturfed campaign with Taylor Lorenz-type crybully journalists pretending they are being threatened with death threats and violence from the right wing to rally support for a whole sweeping suite of censorship legislation including expanding FCC-like government control over content that creators and consumers post to social media, expanding hate crime thought policing, creating government licenses and funding for "government-vetted" journalists, etc.
At the risk of sounding like "imagine if the other side was doing it!!!", you know for a fact that if this exact tweet had come out of a conservative, news organizations across the globe would be front paging articles about this terrifying death threat and politicians would be drafting the Stop Conservatives From Murdering Everyone Act the next day.
I don't know if pointing out blatant hypocrisy is even reaching normies any more, but it's quick and easy. Might as well give it a go.
but there is so many real happenings you could (and should) be highlighting right now instead. like the Democrat who killed a Republican kid over politics, getting released on bail. a strategy I've seen many RW twitter accounts now do is "remember when [recent outrageous event the MSM is memory-holing] happened?". don't let the public forget about those actually important events.
making a fuss out of petty shit is just shooting yourself in the foot. by helping spread this you're basically acting as the controlled opposition that you rightfully despise.
I don't think normies, especially on Twitter, are ready for that kind of redpill yet. They're still struggling with the idea that maybe the KKK isn't actually killing one trillion Unarmed Black Men™️ per second.
Remember, the average 22 year old just came out of a 16 year long indoctrination course, eternally bolstered by Hollywood propaganda, and that's the baseline. It's far worse if they watch the MSM or if they're active on social media. They literally believe that white supremacy is a real and omnipresent threat in this country, because that's what they were told. Asking them to comprehend that leftists kill conservatives far more often than the reverse is like asking a toddler to learn calculus. Gotta start with the basics first.
okay, and how would it help things to pretend the phrase "shooting a lame horse" is a murder threat? it isn't, you know it isn't, and everyone who isn't culturally ignorant knows it isn't.
this just desensitizes normies to actual threats. unfortunately there are a lot of actual threats and even attacks against conservatives, so why not highlight those instead?

That wouldn't be especially effective an attack in Canada

Just Canada things.
I agree it's not a threat, but it's certainly inviting the thought that Poilievre should be shot.
New right, baby- we're holding the left to their own standards.
The left has standards?
For other people, yes.
Not even then. Here today, gone tomorrow.
