Episode notes
Concentration Creates Vulnerability
- The Right is uniquely vulnerable to assassination because it concentrates influence in a few public personalities.
- That concentration makes decapitation strikes far more politically effective than targeting dispersed left-wing networks.
Shock Of Repeated Attacks
- Titus Techera recounts the shock after successive assassination attempts and a successful murder of a prominent conservative.
- He describes how media coverage and asymmetric willingness to kill magnified the threat perception.
Bridge-Building Role Of Charismatic Leaders
- Charismatic figures like Trump and Kirk bridge the base and institutions by contesting 'enemy' territory and mobilizing followers.
- Losing them severs that bridge and leaves the base unrepresented by existing conservative elites.
