Crucial to distinguish between
a) the Right claiming the Kirk murder is akin to the 1933 Reichstag fire (and demanding drastic state repression in response)
and
b) an actual comparison between the situation in the United States today and Germany in early 1933.

I had a great conversation with @lincolnsquare.media about where we are today: About political violence and the Right’s desire for escalation.
But also about how we got here: About the recent history of the GOP and the rise of Trumpism. And, finally, about where America might go from here:

Fun fact: Nancy Mace is trying to censure me over comments I never said.
Her res does not contain a single quote from me because she couldn’t find any.
Unlike her, I have routinely condemned political violence, no matter the political ideology.

Did Tyler Robinson hate God and hate America? Did Robinson shoot him because Kirk was a Christian? Because whenever Republicans talk about this shooting they rarely mention Robinson.

Charlie Kirk's death was a tragedy.
But he built his name on provocation and white supremacy.
He said that gun deaths of innocents was "worth it."
On Mark Carney's first day as PM in Parliament Liberals gave Kirk a standing ovation.
Ceding ground to extremism won't make them nicer.
