Rest In Peace, Robert Redford. One of those great actors you never caught acting. So many classic movies, including the one about WaPo reporters standing up to power. Seems like sci-fi/fantasy now, but that shit really happened and he caught it on film!

Mainstream media's Charlie Kirk narrative:
Sure, he believed LGBTQ people should be stoned to death, black people are inferior and unqualified, women are only meant to serve men, 10 year old girls should be forced to give birth.
