Nonsense, this is a huge shock through the system, and I'm already seeing changes. Communities that I am part of that were yesterday openly cheering for him to be pronounced dead, back when it was nebulous, are now banning people for being fucking too fucked up even for them and generally telling people to chill out, while letting the handful of conservative voices there talk about how fucked up it is to kill a dude for talking. I've even seen a discord mod getting banned from their own server by the other mods for being too ghoulish, which has to be saying something.
While its hard to call a space on the internet 'normal', these are spaces that tend to lead functionally lefty by virtue of not wanting to be explicitly political, and being culturally captured by lefty powermods as a result. Normal people are absolutely not ok with this, and that's a promising sign. The operating presumption until now was these freaks could just walk farther, push harder, and normies would just go along with it because its easier, seemingly no matter how they behave, but this showing there is still a limit, and this went over that line. If normal people aren't lost, then America isn't lost.
What to watch for is if this is just a bump against the trend or an actual turning point. Ironic naming, all considered, but I think Charlie would probably get a kick outta that.
