Quietly watching discourse around this man’s statements like a thermometer. Should I drink a shot when someone disavows his ideas or when they say he’s not wrong?

    I feel like mentioning all the maga fucks that said similar shit is whataboutism but come on. How does this help the cause? We have to burn it down sure but with legislature and justice. Death and violence begets death and violence.

      And when the legislature is captured and justice is ignored?

          No, no. We just have to sit passively while they punch us in the face and wait a few years to hopefully have the opportunity to vote for someone who might reduce how often they punch us in the face.

            I’m only meaning thatoutright murder will make the problem worse. Not better. This all needs to end. If they get a martyr this will not end. Charlie Kirk dying was a boone for the administration. Turning point is modifying our schools. Another martyr gives them pr and all the slack they need to hang the country. If we capture these fucks and try them in the Hague it will prove something.

      They’ve thrown the book at him dozens of times already. Every time it just bounces off his front door and lands in a puddle.

        You’re not wrong. But what happens to a base when they receive a martyr? When has that ever ended well
