So the guy who shot the shooter has gotten an official nod from the authorities so I don’t see they can hang a bid against armed marching off it, but you see on Twitter them furious that no second amendment patriot is gonna credit him as a good guy with a gun in the right place at the right time.

And that points to the damage this is really gonna do the local still-marchers: the morale hit of realizing that even if it comes to it, to what they’ve been wailing about all along, no one in the broader city or world outside their subculture cares – I see them contrast with that Charlottesville car attack but yeah, that was part of the main plot, about Trump and the alt-right and the white identitarian realignment. And you guys aren’t the main plot anymore.

And the bridge too far was trying to no-platform Something*Awful types out of the furry fandom, that’s perfect. When Trump came down that escalator it was like the ‘80s saw what was happening and sent an avatar to intervene, now it’s the '90s’ turn.
