Charlie Kirk’s death was tragic. Political violence is never acceptable.
But I’ll be honest—I’m at a loss for why he’s being venerated as some kind of American saint. He went out of his way to stomp on many of the ideals this country holds dear. He attacked the Civil Rights Act, dismissed Martin Luther King Jr., and regularly painted fellow Americans as enemies instead of neighbors. He poured gasoline on American culture while wrapped in the cross, and that dissonance is hard to ignore.

#CharlieKirk@justin_thorp “tragedy” is yet another word the right wing is attempting to redefine. Kirk’s death was the direct result of his own words and deeds. He fucked around and he found out. Politics is routinely violent and has been for thousands of years, there’s no changing that. Chuck’s cautionary tale of becoming a Nazi and getting fragged for it is a warning to all other fascists of the consequences they will face. If his death is a tragedy, what would you call WW2?
