Yes….silver lining of canceling Paramount and Disney is money saved and fewer choices (having infinite choices is overrated). Fuck Disney and fuck MAGA…..fucking hypocrites.

Right. 😊

You know what else is a good one? My brother, who is a professor at Indiana University Bloomington and he’s teaching a class this quarter on the works of….Stephen King! I know they’re reading The Stand, On Writing and Pet Sematary. Would you be interested in speaking to the class by Zoom?

Go to hell Elon Musk 😊❤️

Good. I don’t need to hear any more from people like you.

Compelling and persuasive argument

Not true. Read the comments. Clearly, many people are saying Kirk reaped what he sowed, or that he’s a hypocrite so it serves him right. Those are not justifications for political murder. I found Charlie Kirk to be a dishonest, loathsome, despicable human and all of that is totally irrelevant.

Both are true. Arresting people and threatening their deportation because they express their opinions is an abomination and threatens the core of democracy. Murdering someone because they express abhorrent opinions is also wrong. All attacks on free speech are wrong. You don’t have to choose.

Yes, exactly. Both are wrong.

Keep reading. It’s out there in social media, implied or explicit, particularly among MAGA, not surprisingly. There is a small but growing minority in this country that think we can shoot our way out of our polarization. I’m afraid it’s going to get worse before it gets better.

Don’t mourn Charlie Kirk, mourn an America that isn’t universally horrified when a despicable person is murdered simply because they have reprehensible opinions. I want to live in an America where we are allowed to speak our opinions without being arrested (Rumeysa Ozturk) or shot (Charlie Kirk)

But this isn’t really about Charlie Kirk. It’s about political violence. I’m not sad that the world has to go on without Charlie Kirk. I’m sad that some people don’t seem to fully appreciate what a mortal threat political violence and attacks on free speech are to our democracy. That’s what’s sad.

Putin couldn’t have created a better useful idiot than Trump in a laboratory filled with magical wizards and supercomputers. We Americans are our own worst enemies and Trump brings out the very worst in us. I don’t know how we get out of this nightmare but I’m certain it’s not through violence.

I feel sad for America. This isn’t the way forward.

Ugh. To those of you citing Charlie Kirk’s hypocrisy and reprehensible views as an implied justification for his murder, stop and think: do you really think people should get the death penalty for hypocrisy? Or for having stupid, despicable opinions? Democracy doesn’t work if we can’t speak freely.
