The assassination of Charlie Kirk threatens to embolden the far right and provide Donald Trump with a pretext for crushing dissent. Escalating political violence corrodes democratic norms and poses a unique threat to the Left.
The assassination of Charlie Kirk threatens to embolden the far right
Fuck that, they just assassinated two Dems in Minnesota.
Why aren’t people saying that and the rights reaction to it caused violence?
Why is the rights use of violence accepted as inevitable, but if anyone else does it, people pearl clutch and say it might make the right do what they’re already doing?
And besides all that:
We dont know who fired the shot
Two trump voters have shot at trump, why is it a foregone conclusion a trump supporter wouldn’t shoot at Charlie Kirk?
