Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.

I do not celebrate any murder.
I do not celebrate the violent death of any human being, nor the loss of any chance for repentance & repair. None.
And those on the right must note that this is the "deal" for which Kirk himself actively advocated.
Pass better gun policy if you don't like murder!

The asymmetrical media response to political violence in America is, in itself, one of the most important contributing factors to how we arrived at this place of escalating political violence.

Can we just have a massive refusal to pay taxes since our money is no longer going to benefit the We the People?? Use Cheeto prez’s extortion methods on him??
Democrats offered an amendment to simply ensure that if taxpayers spend $1 billion retrofitting a Qatari jet, it doesn't transfer to Trump after his presidency for his personal use.
Republicans voted NO and blocked the amendment.
This is the most corrupt administration in history. Easily.

If a sitting president can openly muse about arresting and disappearing someone who is likely to become mayor of the country's largest city, while also getting the funding for a massive secret police, it'd be hard to find sufficient evidence to qualify that country as a democracy.
