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

The problem with promoting hate and always creating "the other" as an enemy, they start doing it to themselves. Members of their own group won't hate on the right people enough, won't speak out about X topic. You fire up a bunch of people, radicalize them, and you risk them turning point* on you.

MAGA is starting to eat it's own head. MAGA shot Trump. MAGA shot Kirk. It's only going to get worse.

See what I did there? LOL.

Freud called it "the narcissism of small differences"
