Maybe just stop being fascist adjacent. Fascists are known to eat their own. Just look at the runup to WW2 in Germany and Japan. Maybe ask yourselves why conservative politics has a fascism problem.

Come on! One politician gets shot & there's a big debate about public access. There has been over 30 school shootings this year already. Has anybody suggested everyone should be home schooled? Those that support the misinterpretation of the 2nd amendment should not be surprised when they get shot!

Republicans have been afraid of their constituents opinions more than their actions for decades now. What they fear is voters exercising their right to free speech and then voting. This is simply a smokescreen to stop even looking at and hearing from their voters. Gerrymander keeps them insulated.

Right out of his own f****** mouth. He said that American lives need to be sacrificed in order to keep our second amendment right. His own words led to the demise of himself. Why shouldn't he be sacrificed for his own good?? That's exactly what he believed in.

This guy was a monster and young people realized it. He spoke of women like chattel. He said the civil rights act was a mistake. He said yes he would punish a 10 old rape victim by forcing her to have the baby. He believes in harming others but never harming himself.Typical maga white male bullshit.

Poor sod? He got rich proselytizing racism, misogyny, & violence. He made excuses for innocents being collateral damage in order to protect the unrestricted used of firearms. He took full advantage of the powder keg of hate to enrich himself with no regard for the possible consequences. Not poor.

More important story than the Kirk MAGA/Corporate Media martydom. This Multi-Billionaire calling for the violent British far-right overthrow of the recently elected UK Labour party and dissolution of Parliment. This undermining of one of the strongest US allies makes Kirk murder look insignificant.

The public will always "have access", even if it is just that they have to get in a car and go somewhere. Something even Trump has to do on occasion. So it makes more sense to tone down the rhetoric and the lawless actions of the Trump administration. And pass sensible gun laws.

He wasn’t assassinated. The media lies when it quotes liars. Just because the Lie House uses that word, doesn’t make it true. He as another school shooting murder victim. He was not a politician nor a public servant.

Charlie Kirk was the embodiment of a generation of people who have disconnected themselves from reality and live within a curated silo of information. He sold his humanity for money, followers and likes. Social media killed Charlie Kirk long before the bullet did. May God have mercy upon him.
