I have zero interest or desire to watch unarmed political commentators get assassinated by a high-powered rifle. I never liked Kirk because, like Shapiro, I found him to be a dishonest moron who made fake debates to create "EPIC LIBRL OWND" compilations on YouTube. This implies that all street gangs are left wing for some reason.

Believe me, I know Kirk. Even so, the President should have done something for their memory.

He did not debate anyone, give me a break. He'd pass the microphone to someone else, but there was no good faith argument. His responses were flat-out a meme. He was as bad as Ben Shapiro. He wasn't bigger than two ELECTED OFFICIALS who were killed in their beds! Good f-ing lord, man.

Again, NO ONE did this when two ELECTED OFFICIALS were killed earlier this year. Trump wouldn't even pick up the phone. Just bizarre.

No, believe it or not our FEARLESS AND HIGHLY QUALIFIED FBI director has completely botched this investigation so far.

This is why the ultra-right wingers like Fuentes don't like Kirk. And that's why there's a decent shot this was pulled off by one of those groypers.

First jersey I bought for myself in years.

There is ample research emerging that many of the huge agitator Twitter accounts are run by foreign entities. One of them, Defiant L's, got caught as some guy in Yemen who also ran 3-4 other big accounts. Outrage sells! Okay sure, but that still isn't going to add up. Since when are gangs "left wing?"

Five out of how many? Progressives did NOT like Kirk lmao come on now

Actually this probably isn’t true. Most people are normal and extremism is just rewarded on social media Yes

Why would they?

Don't cut yourself on all that edge.

I wonder if LibsofTikTok still has the binder of Epstein docs

Thank you for making your position crystal clear. Any other MAGA here want to come out and agree?

“But it’s the Dems that have to turn down the temperature”

Oh wow Lauren Boebert started all this? No way The GOP of the Civil War has 0.0% in common with the modern MAGA party

This is Matt Forney: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2016/07/matt-forney-at-the-rnc.html "CLEVELAND—This is far-right journalist and internet personality Matt Forney, whose work sits at the intersection of racism and men’s rights activism. “Let’s just be honest: everyone hates blacks,” he wrote last year, arguing that “whites are rapidly getting fed up with what is basically a hostile, parasitic population in their midst.” He is the author of essays including “Why Fat Girls Don’t Deserve to Be Loved” and “How to Beat Your Girlfriend or Wife and Get Away With It.” He is not married." Matt Yglesias is a center-left author I have followed for years.

Matt Yglesias was quoting Matt Forney. Forney’s is the rhetoric I’m concerned about.

It was in the link I posted about 40 mins ago.

Shouldn't have said that. Now, can we get back to the "democrats need to be rounded up and exterminated" talk? Does this cancel out every statement major leaders have made?

“but it’s the democrats who want violence”

I’m just saying. Nearly every major democratic leader has denounced this, while the right wing voices are calling to round up democrats. And we don’t even know what the shooter was thinking!

I mean….

But it was never totally merit-based to begin with. DEI arose because skilled minorities were being overlooked because of their skin color. There remains a large divide in wages between Black and white employees. https://www.epi.org/unequalpower/publications/understanding-black-white-disparities-in-labor-market-outcomes/ https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/08/31/black-workers-views-and-experiences-in-the-us-labor-force-stand-out-in-key-ways/ Now, did DEI go too far in places? Probably. But it's not fair to say that Black people in highly-skilled jobs are automatically not qualified, which is the rhetoric I got from Kirk and his compatriots like Matt Walsh quite often.

I disagreed with him because I found him to be a dishonest nut who was recently embracing more and more extreme right wing content.
