    I should upvote because Drumpf has, in a very real sense, blood on his hands from his stochastic terrorism, mafioso fascist/rhetoric and policies; I should downote because political violence really doesn’t make things better; and yet evil also triumphs when good people do nothing. What to do, what to do…

    Will nothing rid us all of this turbulent turd? (Note “nothing”, not ‘no one’)

      Don’t worry! In 20 years while we’re still squabbling about climate change it will wipe the board clean! Then all will be steeped in squalor and helplessness!

      Idk, I feel better with Kirk dead. Also, he can’t keep spreading his hate to millions, so that’s better too. Political violence doesn’t always makes things better, but sometimes it does, and I think a lack of Trump would be a good thing.

        On one have it’s definitely better he’s dead, but is that worth what they’re gearing up to do?

          They were already getting ready to purge their opposition and do multiple genocides, this taking point is entirely worthless.

            They were clearly waiting for an excuse first which they’ve now manufactured after his death. You cannot tell me that it hasn’t accelerated massively in the past 7 days.

            You can disagree with me but don’t call it a talking point.

              They were already working on taking away the rights of trans people, this is just a talking point. A weak centrist lib one at that.

          They’ve been hearing for something for a while and if not Kirk it would be something else. I don’t think that this will actually amount to much more than this weird nationalistic response to the death of a YouTuber.

        I don’t feel better. I’m not white and from now on I’m even more likely to get shot than before. I’m staying inside as much as possible (was already doing that before, now I feel even less wanting to go outside). I heard a US Citizen got yeeted off the streets by ICE while walking in a park. Hell nah, fuck that. I’m rather just watch tv shows in the dark silence of an empty room in my house.

        I mean, I don’t mourn any deaths, but I’m also not “happy” about it. Rather just have the Bernie wins 2016 Timeline. My head hurts ever time there’s a new announcement from the dictator.

          I’d argue that with him alive and continuing to spew his hate and calls for violence, that probability would have unfortunately continued to go up. It went up by a bigger margin with his death sure, but it wouldn’t have stopped with him not being shot.

          That being said, I do feel very bad for you and all those affected.

            I mean… a traffic accident would’ve caused less problems than a gunshot wound…

            I don’t want anyone to die of a gunshot wound, too many ways for the media to spin it. Just anything else please. Falling on the pavement, choking on food, heart attack, like anything is better than getting shot. You can’t bcecome a martyr if you weren’t murdered.
