    Hey Maark, I thought the alleged killer was dating a transgender person?
    So to me that sort of implies that while the alleged killer came from a MAGA background, he maybe ... wasn't? Or not completely.

    Based on who exactly is claiming this I remain sceptical as to it's authenticity.


    Yeah, this. The facts we DO know are that they are from a very Republican background, but everything else is just rumour at this point.

    This notwithstanding, the man in question was a very unpleasant piece of work and honestly I am astounded that people have to ask why he was disliked in any capacity.


    Because people are blinded and biased by their own viewpoint, especially when they are in a bubble. I and everyone in my circle loved Charlie Kirk, therefore, EVERYONE loved Charlie Kirk.

    Who wins from stirring up the hate? From demonizing other Americans? Not me. Not you. Not Charlie Kirk's family. Not the legislators families in Minnesota.


    Project 2025.


    And the gun activists who would actively promote ebola if it kept negative attention focused away from, y'know, guns.


    Looks like neither of those are "me" nor "you."

    I have my own thoughts on who would benefit from stirring up hate. But motivation is either intrinsic, extrinsic, or altruistic. This is not altruistic, we've already ruled that out. And if it's neither me nor you benefiting from the hatred, it's not intrinsic. That leaves extrinsic. I'll let whoever reads this research on extrinsic motivation.

    His affiliation is murderer.

    The left, right or center are not defined by a single person, and as far as I can tell it has been wholly looked at as a murder by everyone.

    The call against this act seems to be unanimous.

    Why then is that not enough? What more is wanted?

    Think about that.

    Then think about the reactions the same people had to political violence perpetrated against the other side.

    Why are the reactions not equal to the same violence?

    Who wins from stirring up the hate? From demonizing other Americans? Not me. Not you. Not Charlie Kirk’s family. Not the legislators families in Minnesota.

    Trump will just use an executive order to declare he was a democratic leftist.

    On a more serious note, yes he was assisted, yes he was a public figure. However flying the flags at half mast? He is not a politician, I don't believe he served.

    "To my friend Charlie Kirk. Rest now brother. We have the watch and I'll see you in Valhalla," Kash Patel said. This quote fascinated me because it is also filled with self aggrandizement, it honors Kirk in a way I'm not convinced he deserves and it possibly shows a problematic personal bent/bias by the man whose agency is gathering the evidence? I mean they are friends that is a fact that I don't expect Patel to deny but is this normal language?

    I don't know if this is a post assassination lionization or if I underestimated a Kirk's influence. I always saw his as a b grade maga influencer on the level of Ben Shapiro or Candace Owens. Household names with a following but not necessarily such a huge deal. Not a Tucker, hannity or the supplement guy (I'm blanking right now but he is huge).


    You shouldn't be surprised. Modern conservatism is the party of white grievance and outrage. Who can we hate today? What are we angry about today?


    It's fascism and the key tenet of fascism is that it needs an "other"...the hate is the point. If they don't have an "other" it falls apart as an ideology as there is nothing else to it. They know this, so there is always an "other" ....in the 1920's the "others" were Irish and Italian immigrants....these days it's LGBTQ people..But it's entropic....when those others cease to be, or they remove themselves from the conservative environment...that fascism will turn inwards and eat its own in purity tests...

    Like look a that one place in the US that's a whites only community....let that exist for a few years and WATCH it eat itself when they can't blame their problems own immigrants or gay people...


    I mean... either Vermont or Utah are about as close as it gets lol.

    "A poor man's idea of a rich man.
    A weak man's idea of a strong man.
    A stupid man's idea of a genius."
    I'm not actually sure where it is from. But I've seen the "poor man's idea of a rich man" quote used about Trump and his gaudy taste more than once.

    So when are you going to change the subtitle of the American Politics thread to something about Democalypse 2016?

    Don't get out much? :D I have driven through Indy a couple of times now; I had to go to IU to scan 3 books when I was up here visiting in the spring. I thought about hitting you up then, but I figured I would get around to it when I moved up here permanently. Less rush. :) Some time soon, when the weather is good.
