    one of our most influential enem[ies]

    Reactionaries have been working overtime to exaggerate and inflate Kirk’s importance and influence. It’s weird so many on the left are helping them with that project.

      They’re overreacting because they can’t allow this to become normal otherwise they’re at risk of having it done to them. It’s fine when it’s children because they’re not children. It’s fine when it’s black people because they’re not black. But it’s definitely not fine when it’s white men with money who spew hatred and try to take away your rights because that describes them perfectly.

      are the DNC afraid of reprisal form the right? or thier own seats? or the fact that most of them have megadonors which is likely pressuring them to support charlie kirk or else no funding for thier campaigns.

      The problem is that republicans across the country are holding vigils, mass funerals, trying to rename highways, putting up memorials on every state campus, holding days of national remembrance, and Im sure more. Ive been massively vocal about the joy of his death since the first minute I e heard about it as well as trying to fight back against his “he was just a debator” image being spread around. I do not want to continue to talk about him, but the more the right loses their minds over him the more I need to fight back against his false persona.

        i am constantly telling people he was a white supremacist fascist and a mere difference of opinion this was not. they simply don’t care. they don’t see it as justifiable regardless. we’re fucking cooked lol. it’s over, man. nobody believes in taking out nazis anymore. nobody sees the real imminent danger and threat of fascism.
