    Friendly reminder that the right immediately buried the incident after they found Kirk got murked by one of their own

      You say that, but a “conservative” friend, who has been voting on the left as of late, claims the shooter was on the left because of trans connections and “It doesn’t make sense the right would shoot their own.” I brought up the subset of groypers that helps explain it, but this was rejected and it was suggested I was blind to the truth by my biases and there was no convincing him.

        They’re not brushing Kirk under the rug, they’re brushing his shooter under the rug.

        They’re definitely working overtime to make him a martyr

      The story itself was buried, but It basically created NSPM-7. I think they got exactly what they wanted out of the Charlie Kirk killing.

    see you can laugh about it, because you don’t have to fear to hurt some right wing nationalists and you don’t have to show that you are the better person while literal nazis abolish any form of civil agreements.

    most comedians really live in the comfortable zone of the political “center” not realizing that the center in the middle of a political right shift also shifts further to the right.

    The most acceptable loss for the Freedumb to own guns? I saw plenty of things making fun of him. Even before his body fully hit the floor. My favorite was a package of fruit gushers that had been altered to say Kirk Gushers and had his face with a flow of liquid coming from the neck.
