It is worth noting that this is not especially incisive or contrarian analysis: everyone knows it. Everyone knows that the Left is the violent faction in American public life today. Everyone knows that shop windows were boarded up in November 2020 out of fear of the Left’s reaction to the election, not the Right’s. Everyone knows there is no threat to public order in response to the murder of Charlie Kirk as there was after the death of George Floyd. Everyone knows that a gathering of pro-Palestinians carries with it a high potential for violence, but a gathering of pro-Israel partisans does not. Everyone knows there is a national network of street fighters on the Left, not on the Right. Everyone knows that colleges have to worry about security for conservative events, not leftist ones.
Everyone knows.
To be fair, the media has kept people sufficiently in the dark about many of the depredations of the left that perhaps everyone doesn’t know, but it’s certainly true.
There is a young generation that will be affected by this in much the same way that my parents' generation was affected by the JFK assassination, but it's not clear what it will mean politically, either next year or in future years.
Pretty sure all the vile people calling Charlie Kirk "hateful" are the same kind of people who said that about Rush Limbaugh, in both cases never having actually listened to either of them.
After all of the vile things this POS (who came frighteningly close to being the vice president) has been saying about his hopes for the death of his perceived political enemies, maybe he should just sit this one out. https://t.co/N3QieIVTMj
This trivializing of actual genocide (including the Holocaust, and Nazis, and “fascists”) by the Left to damn Israel and Jews is vile.
It’s more than worth noting that while most of the Germans who participated became inured to their own inhumanity, Hamas reveled in and boasted about their barbarity.
