"From the assassination attempts of President Trump to Brian Thompson, the United Healthcare CEO, being murdered. Now to Charlie Kirk. The danger was actually on the Left.”
All the attempts on Trump have been disaffected Trump supporters. Brian Thompson’s killer, based on evidence at the scene, was apparently someone embittered over their treatment by his company and that can hardly be said to have been political. Kirk’s killer, whoever it is, is still at large and no motivation is known at this time. As far as I’m concerned, this is most likely another person on the right who’s pissed off about something the right has done or is doing.
This whole X-cresence is fundamentally flawed. Frankly, the homicidal maniacs are nearly all on the right as far as I can tell.
based on the comments I’ve seen from the right on his death, if I were putting money on a motivation, I’d say it’s that he got everyone riled up about the Epstien files, then made a sudden heel turn on “there’s nothing here”.
It’s only a matter of time until someone on the left does actually do something like this though. They will disingenuously seize on that opportunity to further their agenda as they always do. The kid who punches his bully gets suspended while the bully laughs and continues to terrorize others.
That being said, we already know that being in agreement with reality is not a requirement for Republicans to believe something. Facts don’t matter to them so don’t bother making factual appeals to them. Their goal is control and they will use any and all means at their disposal to achieve it, regardless of truth. Fight their control, not their arguments.
