We know why

The hypocrisy is over the top

I’ve seen many mixed reports on the killer’s politics; he could have been one of their own — but they will never believe this. Heck, even liberals seemed willing to accept the killer was with them without real proof.

I disagree about how this wasn’t political — it’s political either way!

Precisely what I was thinking. Whoever did this was not helping at all.

He was an unpleasant person — I get that. But I won’t celebrate his being murdered. All this did was to put a huge target on the back of any liberal or democrat and made this jerk a martyr. It only makes civil war that much more of a possibility and many more of us will likely get hurt or killed

And I know he may have said a lot of unpleasant stuff. I get that — but killing solves nothing: what Luigi did has not lowered healthcare costs in this country and now Kirk will just be seen as a martyr and rallying cry for every right wing nut job looking for revenge on liberals. It doesn’t help

I have been so busy that I had no idea what was going on — I just saw a bunch of posts referencing a death and with no context whatsoever. Eventually I worked out it was another political assassination. I figure that’s the motive and our failing democracy is the root cause

Is there an alternative for those who are not employed by a large corporation?

Nothing says: “We are about to do illegal and immoral acts against fellow human beings” — more than changing your plates and disguising your appearance beforehand

They know what they are doing is wrong

I feel ya

It’s all very overwhelming and makes our daily lives even more challenging

Eventually, the day to day stuff will literally become impossible to manage if we remain on this trajectory.

And then there won’t be anything else we *can* do - but to fight for our basic rights and freedoms
