On holding multiple truths: Miller says the administration will use Kirk's death to dismantle leftist orgs, and people are being targeted professionally. The people who said this would be used against folks were right. AND there were also already plans to dismantle leftist orgs (see Project Esther).

The murders of Melissa Hortman and Charlie Kirk were both abhorrent. Hortman's life was taken by an anti-abortion MAGA assassin. What did Charlie Kirk say about that political murder on Twitter? HIs first impulse was to amplify the MAGA line that Hortman was probably killed by a leftist.

💯 American society has always enshrined the rights of "the right people" to commit murder. Police. Prisons. Slaveowners. Cowboys. Military. They're crying because the "wrong" person got shot. Theirs. Conservatism consists of protection of in-groups and persecution of out-groups and nothing more.
