  • I don’t condone his shooting but I was listening to the audio of what happened. Literally right before the shooting he engaged in a bad faith argument: when asked if he knew the number of trans mass shooters over the last decade, his response was “too many”. At face value, that’s obviously defense-able; any mass shooting is too many. But he doesn’t use it like that. That statement is used as a sword to defend his opinions on trans people and how dangerous they are.

    And that’s precisely why he and MAGA in general was/are dangerous; they seize on those little truths and wield them like hammers to bash wide groups of individuals. Kirk was not a debater like he always claimed; he was a master at building a straw man and convincing others of its stability.

    He didn’t deserve to be shot but he sure as shit didn’t deserve the attention he got.
