So how many of the 24 offenders are affiliated with the Democratic Party or any other mainstream reformist, progressive or leftist organisation? The answer is none. The only perpetrator arguably from the Left is Black nationalist Quintez Brown.

Trump not alone in falsely blaming others for his own evil.

Immediately after Kirk’s killing, Elon Musk tweeted, ‘The Left is the party of murder’.

    That’s a valid point, but I also see how it would have been impossible for Lincoln heal the nation after ordering the arrests and hanging of ever Confederate soldier. They should have hanged the leaders, though.

    More importantly, we allowed each state to create their own educational curriculum, so those Confederate states just lied about their history, creating a system of generational hate, inherited by each new generation as “tradition.”

    2+2=4 everywhere in the Universe. There is no need for each state to interpret that. We should have a Federal educational curriculum that reflects the values outlined in our Founding Documents. That would have done far more to put America on a moral path than a Confederate Genocide.
