    We are witnessing rights being taken away at a historic level. The maga movement has successfully brainwashed half if not more of the us population. We are walking backwards at a horrific pace. Hate, violence, greed and pedophilia are all on the table. Maga is ruining America.

    But Charlie Kirk was fine commenting fucked up stuff about Paul Pelosi’s attack? Including saying we should bail out the attacker that tried to murder him?

    I’m so sick of this DARVO bullshit at a national level.

      More critically, Joe Biden and his DOJ were fine enough with it not to bother pursuing the fascist hate-mongers flinging smears. Democrats had the power to do something and choose to do nothing.

      I’m so sick of this DARVO bullshit at a national level.

      We still have a multitude of Democrats in gubernatorial office and large paramilitary police forces which could be deployed to crack down on fascist media, financiers, and militant agitators. A few of them have been quite outspoken in their commitment to defending marginalized people from the national fascist movement (Pritsker in Illinois, Evers in Wisconsin, and Walz in Minnesota).

      But if you want the DARVO to stop, there’s got to be some kind of price for it. National media isn’t stepping up. If anything, they’re more than happy to play along and feed on it. Too many Dems (Gavin Newsom and Chuck Schumer most vulgarly) seem ready to roll over and let Republicans kick them. Gotta push back and start feeding them their own knuckle sandwiches or all you get is bolder bullies.

    This heavy handed reaction is brought to you by the Group of Pedophiles trying to distract you from the fact that they voted to block the release of the Epstein files to protect their pedo king. And it shows how they’ve been the snowflakes all along

      When we’re dealing with these pedos, “snowflakes” just doesn’t go far enough. These are pedo fascists. Let that sink in for a second. Fascists who are pedophiles.

      For as much shit as Hitler did, and rightfully called out on, I can’t remember ANYONE ever implying that Hitler was a pedophile. And if he ever had been, you KNOW that would be well known! We know everything else he was into. You know, like genocide, racism, power grabs, ect.

      We’re living in a country where literal Hitler would have the moral high ground over our current president in at least one area.

      Like I said earlier. Let that sink in.

    Wednesday: "Charlie Kirk was a martyr for free speech

    Thursday: “Anybody that says anything I believe is mean is a terrorist that will have their visa revoked!”

    Also Thursday: "By spreading his message of exclusion and hate, Charlie Kirk was equivalent to MLK spreading a message of equality and love.

    Hot fucking take here. Charlie Kirk was an insufferable asshole, but I don’t support murder and there is no justification for him being assassinated. People are free to disagree, but I believe ignoring the rule of law when it’s convenient is never anything but a slippery slope. Especially right now.

    The fact that Kirk is being turned into a martyr by the right is probably the least surprising thing to happen since that birthday book confirmed what we all already knew about Trump. So of course they want to honor their martyr for free speech by threatening to punish anyone who disagrees with the narrative they’re trying to create.

    That’s to be expected when you believe in a natural hierarchy and order that allows you, and only you make the rules and decide how they’re applied. Some people count and some people don’t. But that’s not how the rule of law works, and again nobody likes a slippery slope.

    This is exactly why I believe it’s very important that we all acknowledge Charlie Kirk was an insufferable asshole. I get that it’s in bad taste and poor manners to speak ill of the dead. But manners and taste aren’t the rule of law, and free speech isn’t your personal snowflake shield. So fuck off with that bullshit.

    Insufferable assholes don’t deserve to be murdered for being insufferable assholes, but they also don’t deserve statues that make them out to be something they weren’t. He made his own choices for how he wanted to be remembered, so stop trying to re-write history. If you want to create a statue of a puckered asshole and dedicate it to Charlie Kirk I guess I can’t argue with that.

      As someone currently living in this shithole, I’m begging everyone please don’t come here. Not for disneyworld or the grand canyon or whatever the fuck. Visit our lovely neighbors to the North.

        As an American, I just visited our lovely neighbors to the North. Saw two separate crackheads light up right in plain view, and another who OD’d getting resuscitated on the sidewalk. Don’t go to Vancouver.

          Still better than anywhere in the US. Everywhere you go there are issues. That’s life. Only some places have fascism.

          I’ll take drug abuse over fascism any day, thanks.

          And in all honesty this comment reeks of exactly what right wingers say about visiting big cities in the US while consistently voting to make poverty and drug abuse worse. So excuse me if it rubs me the wrong fucking way to say “Don’t go to Vancouver” because you can’t handle the realities of poverty driven by late stage capitalism worldwide. Oh no people are struggling and need help. Grow a fucking pair, snowflake. Cry more about seeing other people suffering while you’re not.

      Half the US has about as much or less education than poor people in a third world country.

    “Killing Charlie Kirk was an assault on freedom of speech. NOW STOP TALKING ABOUT IT OR I’LL DEPORT YOU.”
