With the news of Charlie Kirk's passing, many conservatives are asking for sympathy, less violence and praise Charlie as someone who was open to having his ideas challenged and interested in honest debates. This is a throwback to what Charlie Kirk had to say when Pelosi was attacked.

Hmm, interesting that they beg for mercy when they'd have zero sympathy if someone like Pelosi's husband was attacked; in fact, they were loving that shit. I'm not sorry that he died, as he was a total twat. He can Rest in Piss like the other assholes that wanted to warp America into a far crueler nation. It's surprising that it took this long for it to happen, I wonder if this will be the inciting incident that causes a chain reaction. As talking hasn't helped sway the mind of the key people in the Far Right who are making America a worse place...Not that I want that, because it will just be more pointless death. It will make life in America dangerously unstable...Not that it's particularly stable, as it is.

Are you suggesting this may be a TURNING POINT in the USA's history? Interesting...

Perhaps, it's merely a guess on my part. My mind is fixated on the possibility...Not that there might be any actual truth to it.
