You are all missing things. Kirk is being portrayed by the right as a family man murdered over politics. So for people like my mom, she knows who he is but doesn’t listen to him or know what he said, she can just feel for a widow and small children. She doesn’t know he loved gun violence, and advocated for the deaths of others, enjoyed other people getting hurt, and she doesn’t realize his wife is a piece of shit too. She just projects these feelings Kirk stated he was against. For my father, he knows who he is. He listened to him a little. He is projecting him as a victim as well of the fictitious violent left. He doesn’t like to argue with me, because anything that challenges his ideas or narratives = a hit piece. He has been programmed to dislike minorities and in particular the LBGTQ+ community. It wasn’t Charlie Kirk that did it but decades of right wing propaganda broke his mind and shifted all of his values. If Trump said it was raining dollars outside he would go outside and pretend to have a bucket of cash or talk about “how what he actually meant was…” when he couldn’t spend it. This morning my wife had on the news and there was a little blurb about the shooter. They identified that a “transgendered” person was cooperating. When have they ever felt the need to say, “Nivek, not gay, was cited for speeding.” It is fucking bullshit and these corporate owners of local media dump this shit in their programming. How the fuck is it relevant if true or not true?
