I'll worry about 50,000 other things today before the question of how conservatives are feeling crosses my mind. It's not important.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

MODERATORS
Trump & co are working towards stripping away the power of the people who already don’t have much power. I don’t think these two events are comparable.
Charlie Kirk might even have been killed by a far right Goyper. I’m not sure what conservatives can burn down apart from themselves.
" I’m not sure what conservatives can burn down apart from themselves."
Fucking everything. They want to burn it all down. Even if it doesn't affect them, they want to fuck it up.
The less you have, the more they have. They don't need more things to get comparitively richer, they just need to take things away from you. You wouldn't do that, because you're not mentally damaged, but they sure do at every opportunity.
I’m afraid that’s what they’re going to do, because they’re never rational. They will use this opportunity to accelerate their damaging politics.
Some a-hole Neigsendoig (my producer) called out said Kirk faked his death based upon something on his neck. That was alleged to traumatize the masses, divide them, and control them. He called it Jesuit gobbledygook witchcraft.
That’s an insane take. No way he can hide that amount of prop blood without it being too obvious. He probably lost liters before he even hit the ground.
That's what we thought too. That guy was a Jesuit FUDmonger anyway, so it made sense that we didn't really believe that either.
everyone else
Less than half of everyone tho
Less than half of everyone who voted successfully.
Hurting others is all they care about. They’re fucking psychos. Stay strapped and don’t become their victim
No, not really comparable. Unless your blue anon and think Trump cheated. Probably more apt to compare J6.
There will be radical people like that.
No. Not even close.
Conservative religious terrorists feel hate, and that hate is cultured from childhood into a life-long, fictional god-approved hate.
Normal humans not suffering from major psychological instability don't do this unless indoctrinated into a hate religion from a young age.
Seeing a hate preacher stop hate preaching is a good thing that bad people are pretending is a bad thing.
The orange pimple didn't get elected, and that caused more confusion than anything.

That's not what happened though. The message got amplified by the way this murder happened, and the cheeryness of how many people reacted.
If the self-proclaimed good guys repeatably celebrate violence over dialogue, then there's no good, nor a need for dialogue. A valid conclusion were the premise true. Yet a message that's now loudly shared.
This is too simplistic. I know conservative voters who didn't vote for 47, many not even for 45. Conservative is a value set and the Venn diagram of that with MAGA is far from a perfect overlap. If you replace "conservatives" with "47's cult-like followers" I would come closer to agreeing with your take. I do take issue with "everyone else" though. I think that doesn't hit the mark either. I think there is more purple between this red team/blue team thinking than there are both extremes of this scale added together. Stop digging deeper trenches. And don't shoot your political opponents.
