Charlie Kirk got ded, Erika Kirk grifts in place
You dickrode Trump for 4 years, cheered for kids in cages, and talked about wanting to shoot immigrants. Then you realized that all sounded bad and nuked that account and started this alt pretending to be someone else entirely. Nobody has a single reason to believe anything you say and many reasons not to.

You're talking to a guy who posted that he wanted to go to the border to shoot immigrants.

Oh cool, more lies. Like how you used to lie that you're not Icono. Guess you've realized nobody is buying that one, huh?

Trump’s America
One thing that's really gnawing at me today is the response from notable liberals to Kirk's murder. It's not that it's bad for public officials and other notable liberals whose voices carry weight to speak out against political violence. But there was an immediate rush for them to get statements out yesterday like we've never seen before. I'm pretty sure Obama never even made a public statement about Melissa Hortman's assassination, but he had a statement out within like 30 minutes yesterday. Hortman was an elected representative and literally someone Obama had met and hosted at the White House. But her assassination and the attempted assassination of another elected representative by a right winger with a hit list with like 70 more liberals on it (including Obama) didn't merit anything. That was just a fucking Tuesday, or whatever. And look at Ezra Klein's opinion today, just straight up lying to his audience that Kirk did politics "the right way." And I'm sure there's plenty of other similar statements/articles from liberal commentators pretending that Charlie Kirk was a great guy with whom they just had normal political disagreements. There's only two explanations I can think of for this, neither of them good. First, it could just be conscious or even subconscious pre-emptive surrender on their part. Maybe they just think the fight has already been lost and they've resigned themselves to fascism dominion over America and don't want to endanger themselves. But if that's the case, I find it absolutely ridiculous. Yeah things are bad and everyone here knows I've been saying this shit is going to get very bad for a long time. But like I said yesterday, I don't know that this really gives them any ammunition to ratchet their propaganda up further because their reaction to this is virtually identical to their reaction to a million trivial things. There's already a fire raging, and this doesn't help, but I don't know that it really pours any substantial amount of gas on the fire and I still think there is a chance the fire can be contained, if not quickly extinguished. Just look at how incompetent they've been at so much of their attempt to consolidate power. Look at how fucking old and worthless Trump looks. Look at Republicans begging Pritzker to let them invade Chicago a little bit just as a treat. They are not a vigorous, unstoppable movement, and for liberals with real platforms to treat them as if they are is fucking embarrassing. The alternative, and I don't know if it's worse or better, is that they simply view Kirk as one of "them" in a way that a lowly state representative isn't, and that they just fundamentally think people of their social status matter more than a lowly state representative, much less us normal people. That they just see it all as a game and think the players on the other side are as Good as they are, regardless of what they say or do.

Virtually nobody doing anything in front of a camera or a microphone for a wide audience is 100% honest. Literally nobody doing it for a right wing audience is remotely honest.

A thing I think about all too often these days is that the founding fathers, mostly slaveowners, knew slavery was evil. They knew it was a deep moral stain on themselves and the country. They benefited from it greatly and most weren't willing to make the personal sacrifice that giving up their "property" would require of them, but the fact that chattel slavery was evil was a widely held understanding. Yeah, there were assholes who didn't really care about the morality of it at all because they got theirs, but nobody really thought it was morally Good. Over the next ~90 years, southerners spent a great amount of mental and emotional energy coming up with all sorts of rationalizations for why slavery was actually good and proper and in accordance with God's plan and the natural order of things. That's the function that Charlie Kirk served.

This is going to end up being like that aggy who carved the backward B in her face.

Gotcha, we're agreed. A lot of people seem to be saying it in a "well he was actually privately a good guy and his public persona shouldn't matter" way that makes no damned sense.

I don't understand the point of people saying stuff like this.

They’re absolutely trying to make him a martyr, but they say the same shit they’re saying now all the time. They say it when the green m&m gets a makeover, when Cracker Barrel modernizes their logo, when they chip a nail or get the wrong order in the drive through, etc. It really diminishes the impact of their propaganda when they’ve got nowhere new to go when something like this happens.

Right. As a reminder for the DT posters who have the memory of a goldfish, this was a fucking GOP senator (from Utah!) when a Republican assassinated an elected Democrat and her husband and shot another: One side wants violence. The other just wants people to be able to live their lives and see a doctor if they need to.

Patel was pretty obviously just reading shit on twitter and when they arrested that first guy thought they had the shooter and posted. It's not like he's got a functioning organization reporting to him.

So it seems like a DT poster threatening civil war got the DT thread nuked from orbit.

Name the victims. If there are hundreds, it shouldn't be hard.

Which side has elected representatives cheer on, retweet shitty memes about, and otherwise promote political violence against their enemies?

To anyone who needs to be told, do not fedpost. Do not post anything you don't want spread around right wing media. Keep your shit to yourself.

Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
We should round them all up, line them up, and let someone illegally detained by ICE kick the shit out of them.

The Presidente is fucking incredible. I think it's mostly just that it's so hot in the DR that any cold beer is amazing, but that might've been the best beer I've ever had.

When the liberal backlash against this klan bullshit hits and we're all saying "you made us do this," I hope you remember this post.
