And what is it? Equal rights? Equal opportunity? Not getting murdered by police, or by 'domestic abusers,' or by homophobes?

I don't think this murder was right, of course! But I don't think Charlie Kirk was right, either. And hatred of "Wokeism" or "Antifa" is just ridiculous dog-whistling that means something else. (Something about a perceived "right" to THEIR violence, hatred, lies, and oppression.)
