I don't know who these people are or why they have an audience, but I feel very confident that the existence of this video is a 50 second summary of every single thing wrong with this country.

I don't know that that's the case, because I think the average American didn't know who the hell Charlie Kirk was, but they're certainly being told by every prominent institution in this country that he was a good man. That's the problem.
Again, this is what I thought before Wednesday of last week, but it became very, VERY clear that a lot of people who I suspected were "offline conservatives" knew who Charlie was and cared deeply about him. He is the mainstream, and this country is much further gone than I think any of us realized before last week.

Huh. Okay. I am not on SM so I missed that, but being the moments of silence thing doesn’t make much of an impression on me. Most folks are polite-ish.
19 minutes ago, Valmy77 said:Yeah. If I was at an event and they said "A moment of silence for somebody who just got shot" then I am going to be silent.
Doesn't mean I think the person who got shot was a great admirable guy. I am just against people being shot.
Yeah, I mean I cited the moment of silence but it's not just that specific act. It's the fact that a moment of silence was even deemed appropriate in the first place.
Stephen Miller isn't running the stadium operations of the Green Bay Packers. Laura Loomer didn't make the call to use State Farm stadium for the memorial. The average American feels that a good man died last week, a man worthy of national mourning, and the longer we ignore that reality the deeper the hole will grow (and I'm not sure it matters much anymore, anyway.)

Care to explain? I don’t equate corporations and red state government officials with the majority of Americans. Not denying there was an outcry from the political right’s rank and file, but that percentage is no majority.
The combination of widespread moments of silence at generally apolitical events like football/baseball games (without any kind of pushback) and the number of people who never talk politics on social media feeling the need to mourn Charlie publicly has completely reshaped my perception of this country.
This isn't just the MAGA folks who whine about everything, it's the mainstream.

The vocal majority. Not the majority of people in this country.
That's what I thought before last week. Seeing the reaction to Kirk's death has me convinced I was incorrect.

FFS, this.
You can start with the simple direct quotes:
"You [referring to black women Michelle Obama, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and others] do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously."
The 1964 Civil Rights Act was "a huge mistake."
"If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, boy, I hope he’s qualified."
"The great replacement strategy, which is well under way every single day in our southern border, is a strategy to replace white rural America with something different."
We should be able to "whip foreigners" in the US.
And that's just a start. He was utterly divisive and shitty.
I think the issue is that these are not divisive quotes any more. They now reflect the majority opinion.

Talarico still obviously believes most people are good, and this is why he doesn't stand a fucking chance.

After the election, I kept asking myself "is this who we are as a country?"
It's easy enough to convince yourself that people were brainwashed or the Democrats fucked up the election or shit was just too expensive... but the last week has proven to me that the simple answer to that question is "yes, this is who we are."
We are a country that values the life of a conservative podcaster more than the lives of Democratic lawmakers or children in schools. We are a country that happily lives in two different realities curated by the algorithms in our pocket. We are a country where the media is more focused on access than truth-telling. We are a country that is more concerned with our differences than our similarities.
I naively thought that the Democrats just had a messaging problem and that the majority of the country would agree with their ideas if they were just communicated better. I thought that many of the Republican voters just did so out of habit or comfort and weren't truly aware of what their party stood for. That's all bullshit. The liberal viewpoint is the clear minority in this country. The Democrats have lost. When the goals of social media align so clearly with one party over the other (outrage!!!), there's nothing that can be done. We have to accept the new reality, complaining about it now is like going to College Station and complaining that everyone is wearing maroon.
@Brisketexan - I'm climbing off the ledge. Not because anything has gotten better, but because there's nowhere for us to even jump. Might as well figure out how to live like this. First step is deleting all forms of social media from my phone. Real life is much more pleasant than life through a screen. I only find disappointment in learning who people are behind their keyboard.

Such bullshit. Why was this “source’s” inability to recall the nature of their relationship, which is the basis for the retraction, NOT KNOWN when they first published the article?
Another fun fact is that the headline is still there, despite the contents of the article being retracted.-

What this whole episode has taught me is that there are even more idiots in this country than I had thought. It is embarrassing.
If I’m being honest, Thursday and Friday have made me much more depressed about the future of this country than Wednesday did.

Poorly.
Obama was in a different time though. We had an example since then of not “lowering the temperature”.
I'm gonna do my part and log off for the weekend. I'll see y'all at the game tomorrow.
What planet do you live on and when did they get internet access?-

The bottom line is that the violence will continue as long as the level of personal outrage is dependent on the political views of the victim.

You think someone that claimed that were taking out a fascist Charlie Kirk can't be used to their advantage? Interesting. The antifa types will be under some kind of increased scrutiny.
Man, you're really hung up on that one word while completely ignoring the greater context of what it could mean.

If the country approached disagreement the way Charlie Kirk did with civil discourse we would all be better off regardless of your political views.
I too wish that real life Charlie Kirk was the same person as eulogy Charlie Kirk.-

So what is your point exactly? There are a bunch of dipshits online from both sides?
Fucking yes! That's what makes all of this so fucking frustrating.
Both sides are like 95% the same. We are all just trying to do our best to raise our kids, make some money, and have some fun. We've both got normies and weirdos and online freaks and political dorks.
But for some reason, we keep electing and platforming the people (including, unfortunately, Charlie Kirk) who draw attention to our differences. The President of the United States said today that he "couldn't care less" about violence from those on the right. The country will not survive with this attitude.
If we as a country do not want this man to die in vain, then we can start electing unifiers instead of dividers. We can recognize that it is unhealthy to immediately assume every horrible act is committed by someone that embodies all of the characteristics we personally hate. We can acknowledge that the world is so much nicer when you aren't fucking filled with carefully algorithm'd rage pumped into your brain 24/7.
I'm not holding my breath, but I'd sure like to see it.

So we have in order on the bullet casing: a furry meme, a helldiver's 2 meme, a WWII Italian resistance anti fascist song, and a common troll comment on message boards. What a fucking weird situation
Hey, maybe this will teach the world to not assume next time that the perpetrator is the literal personification of your political enemy ...
