I feel like comparing a person who was just right wing to someone so disgusting and reprehensible is disingenuous and waters down have vile the Nazi regime was
Most Nazis were "regular people" until the opportunity came for them to commit atrocities.
I did not say Charlie Kirk was just a 'regular person"
I know. You're excusing him but I'm telling you that even people you would consider to be better than Kirk ended up as Nazis when the opportunity arose.
Ok I appreciate the idea some political act alot more moderate then there actually beliefs like, that does happen alot when politicians stray the centrist line
I just don't think its fair to compare charlie to Himmler over the idea that Charlie could of became extremely far right wing if he gained more power
