I feel like people who support this type of politics are emotionally blunted and stunted. They'll use his death as a tool of martyrdom for their movement, which this is a prime example of, but I don't really feel like anyone loved him or mourned him in any genuine sense. I think it's because they don't really have any attachment to anyone in a real sense. I'm not saying that other people of other beliefs don't use grief as a performative tool either, but I feel like most of the problem with conservatives at the root of it all is blunted emotions.
