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.
Hey fuck you my guy you actively contributed to this bullshit.
Happy to have anyone on the “fuck this administration” wagon but don’t go acting like this is something new.
