You are joking right. Most crime is experienced in RED cities.

Trump is extremely destructive. Unless an issue involves him, his family or his friends.

The support for Kirk is just one more way for a minority of people who feel superior to others to try to legitimize white supremacy. It's DISGUSTING to ignore who Kirk really was by trying to launder his reputation.

Does it surprise anyone that another rightwing terror attack was carried out by MAGA?

The white Christian nationalist provocateur wasn’t a promoter of civil discourse. He preached hate, bigotry, and division.

That is why a slew of pundits and politicians have raced to portray Kirk’s activities, which harmed many vulnerable people, in a positive light—and to give him the benefit of the doubt that he did not grant to anyone who wasn’t white, Christian, straight, and male. It’s true that we cannot know what was in Charlie Kirk’s heart, because we are not telepathic. But we can make reasonable inferences based on the things he said and did publicly because we are also not colossally stupid. He built a large following, and acquired real political power saying these things—to young people, to the president and his minions, to deep-pocket right-wing donors—and there are far too many people who have been ready to suggest that he was able to do this through a combination of natural charisma and good old-fashioned hard work. If you live in a Haitian immigrant neighborhood, and if you only listened to Charlie Kirk, you might be under the impression that my neighbors eat pets. You would also be encouraged to believe that, simply by virtue of being non-white immigrants, they were “replacing” white people—and that, since they are also Black, they are dangerous. “Happening all the time in urban America,” he said, “prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people, that’s a fact.” This was the other side of Charlie Kirk.

Charlie Kirk was a rabid racist, a white supremacist, a person who claimed regularly that black people don't have the brain power to hold important jobs and that homosexuality is a mental disorder. He spoke regularly about a white genocide in America. He also believed in Trump as an honest actor. He spoke out against women at every opportunity. He didn't believe that women should vote. I could go on and on, but the fact is Charlie Kirk was a despicable person. Some say he should not have been killed for his speech, and I agree. But Charlie Kirk did much more than just speak. Charlie Kirk constantly toured the country propagandizing young college students to convert them to his perverted way of thinking. AND FOR THAT REASON, I SAY THAT HE DESERVED WHAT HE GOT.
