Weren’t the right already like… Kidnapping people off the streets? Murdering people in their homes? Wait, weren’t two democratic (ostensibly “left” to these commentators) politicians murdered earlier this year?
Didn’t a bunch of right wingers try to overthrow the US government in a globally watched coup attempt YEARS AGO???
It’s a “war” NOW? Why???
Last I checked, it’s the right-wingers who routinely call for or condone violence. Charlie Kirk himself called for a “patriot” to bail out Pelosi’s attacker. Trump called for people to murder Hillary, directly.
Literally every notable, influential, figure on the left that I know of condemns political violence in no uncertain terms. They’re not the ones stoking the flames.
Even now, all I’m seeing are right-wingers calling for blood against “the left” as if we all got together in secret and planned it out.
Ah yes the same people who were calling for peace and empathy yesterday
And the same people who always say “it’s too soon to talk about it” and “let’s not make it political” whenever someone brings up gun control after a school shooting.
Personally, I think they are scared. They took the mask off too far with all of their extreme right wing rhetoric and were probably surprised themselves at his little push back they received. Feeling emboldend they kept pushing.
All of a sudden they realise there might be, the most extreme, consequences from the positions they’ve publicly espoused, and they can’t just walk it back. So they’re panicking.
That, or it’s a conspiracy and one of them did it to give themselves permission to go full fascist.
So retribution is needed now?
What if this was retribution for murdering, for example, a top Democrat in Minnesota and her husband?
And why is Charlie worth two people? Using their logic, it could be said they still owe one for things to be “Even Steven”, perhaps a top Republican house member from another state.
trump declared war on US cities in the days before Kirk was shot…
You’d have to be completely and willfully naive to think the right didn’t start this
“This is the next American Revolution. It will be peaceful, if the Left allow it to be.” (Some asshat, paraphrased)
Reckon that remark could be taken as “starting it”, too. And it was quite a while ago now.
From 2024 "we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.” Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/04/leader-of-the-pro-trump-project-2025-suggests-there-will-be-a-new-american-revolution-00166583
Why do these people always have generic WASP names, you never see someone named Kilgore McMomfucker. I’m taking the piss slightly but why is it the most generic white people name, like so white the Mormons are calling it sickly.
Because they want to sound white as computer paper. Anything else loses you followers. That’s why so many of them have deadnames.
I think that’s precisely why… they’re not going to follow a guy that looks or sounds like someone they’ve been programmed to hate.
They would have done this shit even if nothing happened.
Yup. They were already committing violence on the people. They’re just ramping up the rhetoric as usual.
But their violence gave them purpose and now their purpose has been given reason! Don’t you see how it was their victim’s fault???
exactly
but damn are they ever ever just telling bold lies
We don’t even know who killed the guy yet. Could have been someone who was raped by Charlie or something.
His gay lover, I presume.
Im confused about this joke, I keep seeing it, and I’m not understanding how it’s not homophobic. I never followed discourse about the guy. I’ve heard and seen much more about Ben Shapiro and Tim Pool.
Could you do the worst thing ever and explain the joke, please?
When Paul Pelosi was attacked, conservatives instantly started claiming it was a dispute with his secret gay lover. Charlie Kirk celebrated the attack and called for someone to bail the guy out.
It was Charlie’s lie to obfuscate the fact that the attacker who tried to kill Nancy Pelosi, but ended up nearly killing Paul Pelosi instead, was a right-winger.
Where were all the think pieces about toning down the rhetoric then? Did right-wingers hold a minute of silence for Paul? Did they swear revenge on the attacker and everyone on the same side of the political aisle?
Or did they laugh and make homophobic jokes?
He added: “And we are going to avenge Charlie’s death in the way that Charlie wanted to be avenged.”
…. So Charlie’s angels?
Cat suits for everyone!
Took 8 to 16 hours to disseminate the marching orders, even though they should be no surprise to anyone.
Seems like lefties have better aim
The rightwing media isn’t going to do shit, except encite their mouth breathing, unhinged, brainwashed followers to do the violence for them. I don’t see Jesse Waters taking the lead into DNC HQ anytime soon
That’s not how law and order works. Tsk tsk.
A civil war?!
Greg guttfeld and Jessie waters next please.

You should add a link for context.
Edit: not everyone is using their name when referencing her. I think more people know what happened than remember their name.
