When some asshole shoots a black teenager for ringing his doorbell because the shooter has been whipped into a frenzy of racist hate and terror by people like Charlie Kirk, is that not also political violence? Charlie Kirk’s death just shows that political violence targeting republican men is now a feature of US life. It has been a feature of life for democratic politicians for some time. For women and minorities: always.
