Not even justifying his death - conservatives will whine about anyone who correctly points out the fact that neither a bulletproof vest, security, nor a good guy with a gun would have saved Charlie Kirk. But he might still be alive if 1) The U.S. had sensible gun regulations, and 2) If the right hadn’t been ridiculing the very idea of empathy and celebrating every murder of their political opponents over the past 10 years.

Right-wing politics and its consequences killed Charlie Kirk.


And as the right continues to bemoan left-wing violence, it’s important to remember that political violence is very much a right-wing issue: https://youtu.be/B2MB2re24oA?t=962

Sorry about the shitty AI audio, I was trying something new hoping that it would make the whole video-making process easier and it didn’t work out at all. If you set the speed to 1.25 it’ll sound a bit more reasonable.

    I saw a qoute where he wanted a patriot to bail out a person who attacked political opponents with a hammer, isnt that condoning political violence by proxy? I might be misinformed, im not in the us so I have more access to memes than proper news outlets

      He did not want him bailed about because he supported him. And he explicitly said what he did was not right. https://x.com/JasonSCampbell/status/1587127536122732544

      He wanted to bail him out because he believed he was a left-wing lunatic. He wanted people to interview and get information form him, especially during that time when many conspiracy theories were being spread.
