Like think about that: if even that kind of guy, this safely disaffected and intrinsically right wing demographic that they count on to support them by default, can turn on them for how openly monstrous they are, that means a good 90% of the country is suddenly a potential threat.
Strong reminder that the proletariat… ALL the proletariat… Are a revolutionary threat. Even those who have been taken in by right wing views of the moment. Ultimately the proles want a better life, for themselves and for other proles, at least the ones who haven’t been turned borderline psychotic. People like Kirk are so vile and disgusting that even those taken in by bullshit will see him as vile and disgusting, especially if they’re near to someone directly affected by it that they don’t personally hate (in this case, the trans roommate most likely).
We don’t have to and can not fix the backwards views of all the proles. All we can do is drag enough of them to our side and educate them to form a critical mass necessary for the vanguard to then lead the rest of them regardless of backwards views.
