It was an all-out call for war against "them" when the right didn't know who "they" were, but now that it's clear that Kirk's assassin came from their world they've shifted back to meaningless "thoughts and prayers."

Donald Trump lost New York by 12% -- 1.1 million votes. Everyone needs to understand that Trump will insist there were irregularities and fraud anytime he or a Republican loses any election. Now is the time to start preparing for this in 2026.

You're getting a clear X-ray of America right now. Look at who this country's powerful institutions choose to elevate, venerate, and celebrate. Look at the double standards. Look at the people who adore Charlie Kirk - then spend five minutes reviewing his hateful legacy. This is America.

Charlie Kirk was a white supremacist who pushed the racist Great Replacement Theory. Kirk was vociferously anti-LGBTQ. Kirk's final words were to besmirch Black people. Stop this revisionism. People who say bad things don't deserve to be murdered, but they also don't deserve to be praised either.
