the "too soon" crowd jumps eagerly into attacks on democrats, liberals, etc. regarding kirk

the same crowd that insists on doing nothing more than offering thoughts and prayers and performative sympathy for victims of other killings have instantly jumped on the opportunity to pin blame on their political opponents despite a complete lack of evidence.

somehow, when it's someone they care about, it's not "too soon" to assign blame and talk about taking action against their perceived foes.

goes to show you that they really never cared one bit about schoolchildren. thousands of them can die and it's "too soon" to talk about blame or action, but one prominent propagandist dies and instantly, they want to point fingers and crackdown on... something....

I did repost what Governor Newson said about him, it was actually way too generous and way too nice, one of my friends response was that Kirk did not deserve any of those accolades, and that he deserved to die by the very thing he promoted others do to others etc.

I am against violence because this solves nothing, it in fact gives the piece of shit and excuse to attack us now with the military.

I love something else that I saw a long list of notable Democrats denouncing the shooting and then noting that not a single Republican denounced the shooting of that Minnesota congresswoman a few months ago, I think it was Minnesota I don’t remember, not one republican said a single fucking thing😡

To create the reason that the military will now occupy our cities and neighborhoods.

Most likely this was a conspiracy for this reason, but even if it wasn’t it will still be used to do this and we are in grave grave fucking danger.

I said several times I’ll say it again, the piece of shit wants everyone who does not support him either in prison, dead or deported. He will do this.

4. There is a coordinated barrage of lies meant to blame liberals for everything and deflect from their own blood lust.

It's a strategy, and again, no highly visible spokesperson to slap down the absolute garbage.

I'm tired of bitching about a lack of enduring presence and leadership in between elections.

They get away with it because they are coordinated and always have some figurehead to lead the assault on truth.

We have ..... DU?

The party needs a grassroots revolution to replace or just fricking ignore the "couch patriots"
and put FIGHTERS in place.

The current party leadership guarantees losses all over, and this

11. I am more concerned about the barrage of lies. Really nothing to counter that.

What's "common sense" to us can't be assumed.
It has to be blasted.
in a sense "Silence is complicity"
While you can't be dragged into the mud with them, counter it.
What the hell is wrong with speaking the truth?

Killing is glorified in this country. It excites a lot of people.



These people (Whitman, Oswald) are well known.

taking a page out of Charlie Kirk's playbook...Charlie didn't weep when..

* Black church members were gunned down in Charleston
* Latino shoppers were gunned down in El Paso
* Gay club goers were gunned down in Orlando
* Elderly Jews were gunned down in Pittsburgh
* School children were gunned down in Uvalde/Parkland/Oxford, MI/Las Vegas/Minneapolis
* State representatives were gunned down in Minneapolis
* CDC employees were gunned down in Atlanta

Charlie Kirk said gun deaths were "worth" the price we pay for "liberty"... well, Charlie, how's that working out for you???
