Couldn’t happen to a better guy. He advocated for guns on campus, and got exactly what he wanted.

He stated that the few shootings were worth it. Not a soul should feel sorry for him.

I’m fairly confidant this is a setup for Trump to start taking away guns, though, not some heroic revolutionary.

He advocated for guns on campus, and got exactly what he wanted

That's called irony.

Next up: RFK Jr dies of COVID.

Isn’t it only ironic if the event that happens is opposite of what is expected? He advocated for guns on campus knowing that it would result in shootings and deaths, he just didn’t expect it would happen to him.

Exactly.

The same way it's going to be wildly ironic when the ICE Gestapo starts going after MAGA voters.

There are several types of irony (not sure if this just applied to literature.)

Verbal irony is when a person says one thing but means the opposite;

Situational irony is when the reverse of what is expected happens; and

Dramatic irony is when the audience knows something that the characters do not.

This falls under dramatic irony imo

Results unclear, will need more data.
Trump almost died of COVID. They really hid how bad it was.
I never though I'd say I wish COVID did a better job...
