(4,976 posts)... as vile and bigoted as Charlie Kirk was, he didn't deserve to be murdered. I despised the man, and I despise everything he professed; he was rotten right down to his DNA.
But there is NO excuse for people trying to deify him, unless, of course they agreed with everything he said, and boy Howdy, he said some really evil shit. And that's the really sick part of this; those people DO agree with Kirk's malignant rhetoric. They are vile, hateful people, and they deserve to be shunned. They, like Trump and Kirk, and Fuentes and his groypers, are drowning out the voices of decent people, with bald-faced lies and threats to Democrats, and the help of a media landscape every bit as morally bankrupt and malicious as they are. It was one of their own that murdered Kirk, for Christ's sake! and that little turd was, and is, an admitted admirer of Fuentes and his gang of mental defectives who, incidentally, HATED Kirk because he wasn't evil enough.
Then there's the undeniable fact that the voices being drowned out are those of ordinary citizens standing up to ICE gestapo and the rest of those thugs, because the people who we PAY to stand up for us are nowhere to be seen, but for a few brave souls. Oh, they say there are all sorts of things being done "behind the scenes", but no one knows about it, so they might as well be knitting mittens for Bernie.
It's way past time for leaders within the Democratic Party to get some skin in the game, and make their presence known, and loudly. The fate of the nation hangs in the balance, and time is running out.
