  1. This is the problem.... You and I feel that way but to a much larger chunk of Americans than we would like to admit, he did. This is what I keep coming back too... Most Americans aren't paying attention to what inanity comes out of Kirk and Trump's mouths every day. The media only play the 20 second sound bites where they says something sort of in-line with normal. In Kirk's case, I used to think that they didn't know his positions but now I know they. They knew enough about Charlie Kirk to support him and his positions. I said this is an another thread but I used to be able to at least understand some of those who voted for Trump as "I've always voted GOP" or that Republicans are more pro-business or would "fix" immigration. It is pretty evident that isn't the case. They want a President who spews vile words. They want to be told what to do and are OK with authoritarianism. And the outpouring of grief from so many on the right, not just talking heads, but regular people has me convinced that there are just too many that are OK with the racism and misogyny and the move to authoritarianism. The NFL having a moment of silence last night... Kirk's body being taken to Phoenix on AF2 (whatever happened to waste, fraud and abuse)... A commentator losing his job for comments that were not incendiary and certainly far less egregious than things that have come from Kirk and GOP leadership over the past 10 years. These got thumbs up from a lot of people on the right. There is a dark undercurrent in American conservatives that isn't going to get fixed. The right has spent the last 48 hours declaring war on those who don't support Trump and his cause. They are spewing bile about how terrible to left is. I'm just perplexed at where we are. It, whatever it is, is broken and I don't think there's a solution. There's no deprograming to to do. This country is populated by too many who don't like those not like them. Whether that is LGBTQ, minorities, liberals, whatever. I used to look at Texags or SECRant posters and think (or maybe hope) that it really was a small undercurrent of Americans. It's not. This is America.
  2. Heard this earlier today... Notice how none of the (non-MAGA) media are playing clips of things Kirk has said during their memorializing?
  3. Gotta sell those books somehow.
  4. Especially when those in charge are drunk on hooch and high on adderall.
  5. Ok but what about toe prints. Did you think about that, smart guy?
  6. What do you mean "we"... 😶‍🌫️
  7. Bingo. Jesse Waters all but declares jihad on Fox News... OK MSNBC guy points out that hate filled rhetoric is bad... Not OK
  8. Stop looking at this with your Marxist left lunatic eyes.
  9. Especially when they have something shoved in your mouth. Right, Macklemore?
  10. But it's not. Kirk was a disengenuous debater. He used non-sequiturs, half-truths, outright lies and was a fearmonger. He was not interested in honest dialogue but wanted clicks, gotcha moments and for things to go viral on the places that platformed him.
  11. So Hell means being with all of those who "thought" they were Christians? Damn, maybe I do believe in Heaven now.
  12. I woke up this morning and I realized I truly understand the term gas lighting now. I guess i should have gotten it before but the outpouring of responses from the right about Kirk has really hit home. I guess with Trump i always excused their support because "they" have a reason like "I've always voted GOP" or "the economy" or "immigration" but it had become so apparent that so many live in a different reality than many of us. But the responses from so many about Kirk is eye opening. Yes, Trump is an abject racist and misogynist as well. And too many give him Christ like status. But for that attitude to filter down to Kirk and now watching him be so venerated. I just don't know anymore.
  13. Dont call it a comeback. Racism and misogyny have been here for years.
  14. Um, Greg "It could have been worse" Abbott would like to have a word.
  15. I feel like you're not listening to me...
  16. Don't threaten me with a good time.
  17. Just when I was depressed enough after looking at Facebook.... It's just mind-boggling that people call Kirk "Christ-like" and praise his Christian values. Th
  18. A lot of this going around. I've pretty much decided that this country is totally screwed. The fact that Kirk was some kind of role model and is now a martyr for the cause means it's over.
  19. I didn't see it because I don't waste my time watching CNN but my money is on Ted Cruz or Joni Ernst.
  20. I agree with this but as we've seen with most shooters.... They aren't this disciplined, learned and trained. They shot at a range that probably had a 100 or 200 yard limit, if even that. Then they went bonkers.
