The Big Ship steers hard to port, he likes his chicken spicy & he hates Rupert Murdoch & his media jackals. TBS is still whinging about Bodyline, The Dismissal & how in the fuck Donald J. Trump has again been elected as US President.

This is a man who only a tiny percent of Americans had even heard of before his death, whose views are too nasty for NYT to detail. But they are trying so hard to turn into martyr.

โThe trend in recent years has been for the great majority of extremist-related murders to be connected to some form of right-wing extremism. That is also true for 2024: for the third year in a row, all the murders identified were tied to right-wing extremism.โ

Watching all these centrist pundits stress the โcivilityโ of Charlie Kirkโs style without addressing the ugliness of his substance is giving me a renewed appreciation of how the civil, polite White Citizensโ Councils conned the same crowd into thinking they were distinct from the cruder Klan.
13.09.2025 16:54 โ ๐ 21409 ๐ 4900 ๐ฌ 556 ๐ 268Seriously, how do you not understand that Kirk was a victim of the politics he himself created?
If your politics consist of spreading guns everywhere and dehumanizing other people, eventually there will be bloodshed because people who listen to you will have guns and be dehumanizing people.
If we transported 2025 Charlie Kirk back to 2012 he would have been widely considered the most vile and contemptible human being in politics, worse even than Limbaugh. That he wasn't in 2025 is a testament to how much of a permission structure for gutter racism the right has built.

Hinkley shot Reagan to impress Jodi Foster. Oswald was such a complete mess people just assume the CIA did it. Guiteau killed Garfield because no one would make him an ambassador.

After Trump departs, they will eat each other. It's already happening.

Dem leadership won't step up. Corporate America is complicit. Institutions are corrupt.
