He was a public figure. He didn't deserve to die. No innocent should. He chose to be a public figure. He also chose to be a Republican which has a long standing policy of messing up the Healthcare options for 44,000 people a year resulting in their death. And they are innocents too. This stuff is damned important to the future lives of those college kids Kirk used to argue with. Their lives hang in the balance too because not all those university kids Kirk debated will be rich enough, or employed enough, to get healthcare in the anti-democracy the GOP/MAGA want to construct.
You know who else we are not supposed to talk about after they die? Schoolchildren who get shot. And Charlie Kirk had opinions and argued with college kids about how he was okay with this tradeoff so long as the first amendment is 'protected'. Those mass murders of children and others brutalizes the country and teaches Americans to accept atrocities. Charlie Kirk was interested in schooling children in heartlessness by suggesting children see public executions.
A lot of innocent people are dead. I care about the living because there is still a chance to help them. How long would you have me cease and desist from discussing politics, as politics was and as politics is, after Charlie Kirk was assasinated? A month? A year? Just a blanket ban on ever discussing Kirk and his political legacy?
Your team is narrowing the terms of what we can discuss. Your perspective is shrinking. You are driven by fear and you have been fooled into misplacing what you should be afraid of. Pretty soon you will be fully robotic appendages to MAGA with no will of your own. And we on the Democratic side will be open and loving of our neighbours and fully human and we will talk freely.
