Anyone who perceives Kirk as “civil” or as “doing politics the right way” is betraying their comfort with the ablative world Kirk worked so hard to create, secure in their belief that the grinding wheel will never touch *their* skin.
One wonders where that belief arises from.

This feels like a *very* strange time to be revising an article that looks at how Kirk’s fans and followers engaged with his coverage of the 2024 US presidential election. Certainly some major updates required 😬

great thread here, and nicely illustrates how far into the margins this type of people are - despite what Twitter amplifies #GE24
🧵 How far-right/National Alliance candidates are doing based on mid-morning tallies #GE24.
These will likely have changed by the time most people read them, but give an indication of the state of play this morn.
Have also omitted some candidates in constituencies where no data was available yet.

One way to analyze the 'Harris Flop' from the perspective of the political sociology of emotions might be through the concept of 'emotional capital', the lack of which is having a negative effect on his political capital. See my paper on this if interested: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
