Trump and his supporters infiltrated online spaces like 4chan and Reddit in the 2010s and flooded them with far-right ideology. They were content with their little cyber army of aggrieved men harassing women journalists and people of color, concocting sprawling fantasies about human trafficking and Democrat sex cults, storming the Capitol, and going on incel shooting sprees. The violence and intimidation was perfect for pushing regressive social politics — or supporting <a class="link" href="https://link.mail.beehiiv.com/ss/c/u001.Qr6Ovh5taOidqUa5P-dRpcYprOPk0tzi9eUtsgZvKhjKbbQMzkm9S58VjCxbuxhYzx0GzsdADok0jzw7oWt-QbyUibrXFjujm5irfb237BHo8hQ06APvse-NERJss2X-2HH6BYg7ls93RrjkEeOXq-tXy8qJ94ukyNHpx4De2SJ35TXsJ_4JNZESPNzU5lHyJzO7SEq0uTzYMjIddlxkI3_oSZszBsIpZ1ZOT2trfsqR-PeUjlnATthOYHc7yP75jD5ZEk3hCgzxgXI1YwSnqO77fq7L7bhYxSJ50OWEP_7jNSyz0hD_6OV4-jy2BtL9/4k8/Zg64qR9MTmCobdgIvtg9SQ/h11/h001.zq37lOEELt_X1Fi130QF5sCdYUifOJ2W_pNQt7NA-Ik" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><span>the billion-dollar</span></a> school shooting prevention industry. But these angry young men have switched from the redpill to the blackpill, and are reacting to the chaos and paranoia of the second Trump presidency, as well as the changing landscape of the online attention economy. An attention economy shaped by right-wing influencers and reactionary tech CEOs, mind you. They’ve clearly realized that targeting high-visibility figures within Trump World is a more effective way of getting attention, or causing chaos, or because they think it’s funny, or because Trump back in power hasn’t been the glorious revolution they were promised. They’re covering their bullets in memes, taunting law enforcement and the media in their manifestos, and going after the biggest targets they can.
