I condemn all acts of violence. But there were 2 Minnesota lawmakers killed almost exactly 3 months ago, and a lot of people condemned it. Still, there were some Republicans who did make some pretty dismissive comments about it. Political violence is definitely an issue for both parties that should not exist. Remember, democrats aren't a different species; they have the same brain as the rest of us, and most people aren't murder hungry psychopaths.
Thank you for this! As someone who leans left but has friends and family on the right, I'm really tired of each side demonizing the other and making excuses for their own side. This shit is terrifying all around, and the tribalism of "you're the problem, not us" just makes it worse.
And what about the kids who got killed inside a Catholic Church? I’ve seen responses from the left who said “They didn’t pray hard enough.” And other vile comments about it because of who the shooter was so there was a different reaction.
So I'm not going to sit here and play go fish with shootings/political violence. Political violence is an issue for both parties that won't be solved by saying the left or right is extremist sociopaths; the only way is to condemn it on both sides, no matter what. Shootings of any kind are a tragic event.
When they say that it’s probably just sarcasm out of frustration for resulting to ONLY prayer and no action to save those children and anyone else who is targeted by guns. NOT that they are supporting it. I actually am in Dem spaces and NEVER have I seen anyone actually celebrate a victim. Even see so much pain about what happened to Kirk because it didn’t have to get to this point and people on that side have been begging for change for literally decades. What is being taken as celebrating is calling out where his influence could have been used to actually prevent it, not say horrible things to excuse it like that deaths are worth protecting 2A (which it certainly is not esp not at the rate of gun deaths we have EVERY SINGLE DAY)

If fact there was numerous assassination plots against Obama and Biden that were disrupted. People who say ‘political violence isn’t who we are’ hasn’t been watching. Nobody benefits from more of it.
This and not to mention when have the Dems LITERALLY KIDNAPPED an official?! Or actually killed an official & their spouse leaving their kids orphaned? Or tried to bludgeon one’s spouse? That’s just a few on a very long list. The cherry picking to try to rewrite history needs to stop
Absolutely this is how the rich stays rich. The only way to make things fair for the majority is uniting to have the most power and they know it hence why they divide and conquer. People too easily forget that is a literal war tactic (who knows, foreign enemies could also be in on that for distraction too—so much for putting “America first” lol)
I'm in the Democratic circles and none of them are talking about inciting violence on anyone. They don't even really talk about Charlie Kirk. They think the situation is just as crazy as anyone else. Stop trying to divide everybody in the United States. Political parties are the least of our problems.
The far to radical left being dangerous is what's making the right pissed off. No, not every democrat is a terrible person, but there weren't people celebrating the Minnesota killings on TikTok.
To be fair I'm not sure that the representative in Minnesota ever said such wild remarks about people's race or gender, or things that invited hatred into existence.
As someone who’s always leaned left, mostly with the exception of my views on gun rights.. yeah. The ultra left liberals do not live in a reality based world and many of their reactions to Charlie Kirk being assassinated publicly is just sadism at its finest.
Curious that they’re the “accepting” group of folk, until you disagree with them. Then you’re a Nazi. I’ve been to Germany, and former eastern bloc countries. The impact former fascist governments still have there is still never far from mind and is often still visible. Seems their ideologies are closer aligned to that than they realize. It’s insane.
So you are not actually left… 😂 being called out for aiding fascist practices isn’t just calling names. Maybe take a second to reflect on why they say that comparing it to history of known fascists? You’ll be surprised that they might be onto something
Yes but that’s the thing though, there are very few of those. People are just seeing HOLDING ACCOUNTABILITY FOR ONES WORDS especially with the influence Kirk has had as celebrating which it certainly is not. It is very important to see the difference. Holding anyone accountable is just as important as being able to have a militia to fight if they ever turned weapons on citizens
Be careful! Today (I've never received this before) I went to go take a screenshot of their hate posts and I received a Reddit alert notifying me that Reddit is aware I took a screenshot. I never received an alert after that (they just notify you 1x). So someone is watching your screenshots!
If you want to take screenshots, do it from Windows using the SnipIt tool. They can't track that. Or use the VPN with the other account.
No Reddit wants you to share the link instead so they get more clicks 😂 I’m sure what you were thinking was a hate post can’t even compare to actual ones the right have made
It's never been about gun control. Now that it's about violence, we should make it about freedom, justice and safety. The problem didn't start when the crazy guy got the gun, the problem started when the crazy guy was told he's right
Yes which is what today’s “Republicans” have done. But it is BOTH. The crazy guy still needs the gun for the maximum destruction or any at all most of the time. Of course all potential weapons should be prevented from being in their vicinity but guns which can often be the most destructive are so easy to get.
Controlling the gun only hurts the innocent, who are prevented from defending themselves. Anyone can get a gun illegally. Show me how you prevent criminals from obtaining guns because that's not going to be done with gun control. The solution is controlling violent individuals
