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

Were guns allowed at his memorial? Seems like they should be given his stance on it.

Guns are NEVER allowed at MAGA events.

Those fucking idiot rednecks would end up shooting each other over stupid little things.

I do admire the people that are most in favor of the population holding them, are also publicly afraid of the consequences - See also Republican conventions

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.

So true…

And I did very much enjoy the Turding Point play on words…

Look at how normal and tasteful this memorial is. Libruls probably would have turned it into something that looked like a political rally.
