Events force me to spend time daily with core life long MAGAts where all they have to do all day is talk (loudly) and watch the state approved media. Not once has any aspect of the Kirk Incident come up in their routine ranting complete with every ism conceivable.

I can only conclude that the hubris surrounding the incident is an astroturfing involving the influencer/pundit/media class. The Retrumplican base is hardly engaged or vested at all and the more it’s pushed against the axes the base is already grinding the more likely their own base is going to push back negatively.
