Last week a squirrel died in New York.
Over the weekend, the squirrel became a symbol and martyr on the right.

PNut the squirrel was internet famous.
Mark Longo rescued it seven years ago and raised it after its mother died.
PNut allegedly bit one of the officers during the raid.

DEC then euthanized the squirrel to test for rabies.
Here, they said, was an example of Democratic government overreach.
Longo, upset about the death of his beloved PNut, fueled the fire.
They treated me like I was a terrorist.
They treated this raid as if I was a drug dealer.
They ransacked my house for five hours.
They asked my wife, who is of German descent, what her immigration status was.
They asked if I had cameras in my house.

The memes flowed.
Right-wing stalwart cartoonist Ben Garrisonimmortalized PNutin a post on X. PNut looks at the viewer, his large cartoon eyes welling with tears, shouting Avenge me!
Another meme depicted a ghostly squirrel with its arms on Trumps shoulders as he sits in the Oval Office.
Others showPNut in heaven with Harambe, a beloved gorilla who died in 2016 and became a meme superstar.
“Peanut the Squirrel…You shall be avenged!
Here was a clear violation of a persons rights and the perfect martyr for their cause.
Are we going to win this election because of this fing squirrel?
Mike Benze, Executive Director of Foundation For Freedom Onlinesaid in a post on X. PNut is yet another symptom of the terminally online insanity that has plagued the GOP in recent years.
He obsessed over Disney which read as weak and weird to normal voters.
The final nail in the coffin occurred when one of his too-online staffers published afascist fancam.
And Trump is even losing the extremely online fascist vote.
On November 2, white nationalist groyperNick Fuentes said hed realized Trumpism is a cult.
Fuentes finally lost faith in Trump after seeing his supporters dress up like garbage.
The garbage thing isnt playing well with Puerto Ricans either.
Trump supporters dressed up like garbage and Trump himself did a photo-op in a garbage truck.
Trump distanced himself from the comedian while attempting to embrace the image of his followers as garbage.
The Huffington Postsent a journalistto the swing state of Pennsylvania to talk to Puerto Rican voters.
One man told HuffPo that hed never voted before but decided to do so after hearing the comedians joke.
He saw the garbage truck photo-op as an insult.
Its not a compelling pitch.
