The lesson seems to be this:
Do like Charlie Kirk and start your own organization, because as long as you're the one in charge, you can say whatever the living fuck horrible thing you want (Gretchen Felker-Martin didn't even say anything really terrible compared to Kirk!), and since you're the head of organization, no one can shut you down for what you have to say.
Here's hoping Gretchen Felker-Martin starts her own comic book group and starts platforming people who aren't going to put up with fucking fascist horseshit.
If my employer were to fire me over a social media post in relation to Charlie Kirk
I'd make sure the right feels my pain
The trouble is, that only works when you're spewing the kind of hateful and violent rhetoric that rich elites want to hear. There's a firehose of money being aimed at fascist influencers.
In contrast, you don't see nearly as many anti-fascist or egalitarian influencers because the economics don't work: the people who support the message don't have any fucking money.

Also she's not an uncontroversial author. I've only read Manhunt from her and it's unapologetic and rough. With how raw she writes she's probably a great comic writer
