"Not me -- him also": That's how schoolboys playing soccer get out of trouble when a window gets broken. The last thing we need in this fucked up world is the USA to completely tear itself apart now. "When they go low, we go high", remember? Now it seems to be: "When they go low, we go even lower."
It's very easy to show that Trump is a terrible president. It's counterproductive to twist words and construct drama out of, generously speaking, half-truths.
There are no "half-truths", just because Stephen King misquoted something. Charlie Kirk was a fascist who wanted the violent eradication of trans people. He said MLK was an awful man and that the Civil Rights were a mistake. He was a white supremacist and an anti-semite. Those are all truths, supported by his very own words. I posted sources on earlier pages, including the clips where he says those things. None of this is up for debate, but trying to muddy the waters about something so clearly established paints a veeery bad look. I'd think twice before going down that route.
The shooter wasn't on the left. He seems to be a groyper (if you don't know what that is, look it up). The right is blaming the left and advocating violence against the left, when the left had literally nothing to do with any of this. As I mentioned before: The
vast majority of political violence is done by the right wing. Again, factual. I posted a bunch of sources. Stop dragging the left into this, it's whataboutism. The right wing and the surrounding hypocrisy is what's important, not deflecting to irrelevant topics.
Also, "when they go low, we go high" is the stupidest idea and the exact reason why we are here in the first place. The Dems have no spine and are refusing to call out the violent extremism of the right wing. The right literally murders and lynches people, including politicians, but the Dems are the ones who think reaching across the aisle is a valid strategy. It's not.
It is time for the right wing to take responsibility for the vast amount of violence, pain, death and destruction they have been causing for decades at this point.
