Today, it’s conservative right-wingers who are in mourning, but just three months ago it was Democrats who were grieving after a lone gunman assassinated a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband and injured another lawmaker and his wife. Authorities said the suspect had a hit-list of elected officials, all of whom were Democrats.

 

Afterwards, Trump said that “such horrific violence will not be tolerated”. But he failed to attend the lawmakers’ funerals, and refused to call Minnesota’s governor, Tim Walz, calling Kamala Harris’s former running mate “whacked out… a mess… I could be nice and call, but why waste time?”

 

 

In April, a man also broke into the official residence of Pennsylvania’s governor, Democrat Josh Shapiro. He set fire to the building, forcing the governor and his family to evacuate the compound at around 2am.

It took a week before Trump telephoned Shapiro to express concern, and at a cabinet meeting dismissed the alleged assailant as “probably just a whack job”.

 

America is gripped by political violence – and Trump’s vitriol is part of it

 

Trump is so vile.

Quite the opposite, the US has achieved an advanced state of freedom others still aspire to.

 

Maybe one day.

Yes, the land of the free is so free that school children are free to participate in school shooter drills, and it's free!

So, so much freedom.

Condemning the political assassination of a 31 year old father of 2 is hyperbole?

 

Well done. Perhaps you could blame him again and wish nothing but the worst for his wife and kids. Im sure it's all very amusing for you. 

Personally, I leave victim blaming and harassment for slime like Alex Jones and others on the far right.

Yeah! The right to shoot others by easily accessing guns.

Yeah because the USA is the only place in the world where folks can get a gun to do a political assasination. I know that firearms assasinations never happen in gun free Japan.

Freedom comes at a price, granted.

 

But it feels better than being a little, nannied, child, like in Europe.

In general the right believes in GOD.   The does left does not.   Thus, the left has replaced religion with politics. 

 

It’s weird that you are so triggered with valid observations. 

And you really believe that trump with his criminal past, being a felon and sexually assaulting women and his consistent lying, is a god fearing man........get a life!

After all he disagrees with you so he deserves it right?

We individuals on the left perceive him as a propagandist similar to Joseph Goebbels, leading us to argue that he deserves no respect. Everyone on the left agrees with me since we all share the same viewpoint.

This is where you should have given us the numbers of "firearms assassinations" per capita, but you won't and we aaaaaall know why.

The weapon has been recovered. Bolt action hunting rifle

So you agree with his murder since you equate him to a murderous war criminal like National Socialist Goebbels.

 

Agreed, you all share the same viewpoint. All who do not toe the line of the Socialist revolution must die.

Of course, of course, but just out of curiosity what number of dead school children would it take for you to reconsider? Thousands/tens of thousands/ hundred of thousands?

Or is there no limit?

Well, it's not like you don't have them in the UK, the name Dunblane ring any bells?

 

Of course I live in Thailand, and despite EXCEPTIONALLY high gun ownership here, the highest in SE Asia, you see almost no school shootings.

You are correct to point this out, as we intelligent progressives have never engaged in name-calling.

Not from the UK.

 

So if some countries can handle having guns but yours can't that's another reason to take them away from you. It's like some races/populations can't handle alcohol, so you restrict it's availability.

Makes perfect sense, right?

Europe:

Welfare states are large and robust, with more generous social programs, including affordable childcare and robust social services, aimed at collective welfare. 

 

Not for long, buddy, I refer you to what happened to Greece. If you live above your means you go bankrupt. And frankly European women are not having enough children to sustain the ludicrously generous European welfare states.

 This is not a Republican problem, the "HATE" from Democrat leaders is pushing the agenda. The Democrats’ rhetoric, their allies’ activism, and the media’s silence have created an environment where political violence is not only tolerated but inevitable. The murder of Charlie Kirk proves the cost of this recklessness. The Left claims to be the party of compassion. The truth is clear: they have become the party of hatred, extremism, and violence. And unless America confronts this reality, the bloodshed will only continue. We lost a guy who was actually a good person. He wasn't disrespectful, he never talked down to anybody and he touched so many hearts and lives. We lost a good one today, a true hero trying to create change. Lord, please don't let this precious man die in vain, let this create change like he wanted, amen.

Charlie Kirkhas attacked birth control, claiming that it makes women “angry and bitter” and that women over thirty “aren't attractive in the dating pool.”

 

He claimed in 2023 that it was “worth it” to have gun deaths in order to protect the Second Amendment's right to keep and bear arms in the United States.

 

He said during a 2024 podcast episode with fellow right wing activist Jack Posobeic: “I'm sorry. If I see a Black pilot, I'm going to be like, 'Boy, I hope he's qualified.'

 

What were Charlie Kirk's most controversial statements?

 

He sounds soooooo old fashioned.
