Let's remember Charlie Kirk for who he was.

"I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that does a lot of damage." -Charlie Kirk

I used to be a conservative, No shit.

You know what made me change? the constant whiny bitch energy. No solutions, Just Oppose, Obstruct, and reverse everything the other guy does.

Please help me understand: Is that really the whole platform?

I get that it's dangerously close to a just-world fallacy to need a deeper explanation to match my observations. But the idea that a big part of what's going wrong right now is nothing but people acting in the most petty way imaginable, is just... depressing in a way I'm not prepared to feel.

I think it's a fear of being hurt and a failure to realize who is doing the hurting due to indoctrination.
