This is not a moment for dishonesty. Contrary to the hurried efforts of some Democratic leaders to eulogize Charlie Kirk, we don’t need to pretend the far-right activist engaged in earnest politics “across ideology, through spirited debate” as California Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a post on X paying tribute to Kirk.
Kirk, the founder of the far-right movement Turning Points USA, was committed to organizing America’s white young men, from college campus to college campus and beyond, into a politics of revanchist, resentment-fueled, patriarchal white nationalism.
At the time of writing, the person responsible for shooting Kirk has not been apprehended or identified. That didn’t stop Trump from delivering an official address unequivocally blaming the “radical left” for Kirk’s death in the broadest terms possible.
The Trump administration is a weaponization machine; it will transform all manner of things into an ideological arsenal to use against its opposition. Anti-genocide activism is antisemitism; immigrant workers are “the worst” criminals; addressing white supremacy is discrimination; war crimes are peace — all of these fascistic transmutations have become grimly common in the last eight months.
I don’t really see any other solution that would actually happen. the right wing is cleaning house, and the democrats are still wondering how they lost.
No one is doing anything… and if that means a few hundred thousand dead people to get rid of fascism, whatever. Yes, even if it’s me. 🤷♂️
It’s a shit situation no matter what.
lol what a keyboard warrior. You have no idea what you’re talking about or how bad it can actually get.
How many times did you vote for Trump?
Look at my post history jabroni.
I sincerely mean this. Please go outside and stay off social media for like 1 week, and see how you feel. You’ve got internet brainrot.
Why won’t you answer the question?
Because you’re a sad lonely troll
I’m pretty sure it’s because I was right.
Not op but I loathe trump and would cheer if he were executed, but I still can see how fucked what you just wrote is.
Do you truly think that fascism is gonna be bucked in the midterm? That somehow we are ever going to recover from this peacefully? Truly tell me what you think is going to happen to this country politically and economically if we stand on the side of the road and express our opinion on a sign.
I think we’re fucked 100%. Whatever happens will be awful either way, and I’m not here to wish death and suffering on thousands of people like you psychotically did
No, you are wishing death on around 330 million people. At least the end goal for me is saving us from fascism. Yours is accepting fascism and letting people be killed and tortured in the name of fascism. You are the psycho
Oh fuck your idiotic words you shove in my mouth. I hate the Internet and I’m starting to realize this platform is just as full of morons as reddit. On here though, the smug self satisfaction and self righteousness is somehow higher. All you have told me is that you aren’t a good person but think you are.
Hey bud, you started it. Can’t take it? Don’t comment. IMO, you’re trash. But my opinion is worth about as much as your opinion.
Go back to Reddit if you can’t handle people with salty opinions.
