Apparently the wing nuts are upset that at last night's game the Minnesota Vikings

chose to have a moment of silence for the victims of the Annunciation shooting rather than for Charlie Kirk. I guess the team did add, "and all other recent victims of gun violence", but that wasn't good enough.

What the hell is wrong with these fools?

in memory of the children murdered and injured in the Annunciation shooting. It was something that deeply affected this community in particular, and it deserved acknowledgement at a community event. There are plenty of over-the-top memorials for Charlie Kirk, some funded with our tax dollars, if people feel like he's been unfairly neglected by Minnesota football fans.

For the politicians, media/pundits, influencers, etc it is all a proactive choice.

For the moronic masses it may be more passive acceptance of the message from the above, but even with them it often seems volitional.
