So...promoting political violence in response to political violence? The irony is off the charts.

[–] zrst@lemmy.cif.su 2 points 3 weeks ago

It would be good if this inspired people on the right to kill more of our rulers, which inspired people on the left to kill more of our rulers.

Voting doesn't work because the system is rigged.

Things that are more important than Charlie Kirk:

  • Genocide in Gaza
  • War in Ukraine
  • Rising inflation / the FED giving up on the economy
  • Fascists paramilitary disappearing people
  • American Citizens losing their rights
  • School shootings
  • The hiding of the Epstein files
  • Remembering 9/11

I'm sure I forgot a lot of other things that are actually worth talking about.

His only concern is getting away from Epstein files

[–] WatDabney@lemmy.dbzer0.com 66 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

So... the same plan as before.

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 54 points 3 weeks ago

MAGAts trying get us to stop talking about Epstein.

Really turning down the temperature of political-based violence.

trump called the hit to distract from the Epstein Files

[–] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

This is so blatantly obvious. Let's look at the details.

The shot was wildly accurate for a civilian. They haven't found anyone yet. They claimed to have found trans and antifa ideology inscribed on the bullets, which has since been refuted. Trump had an AI video prepared that released the news that he was dead before the police, hospital, news, or anyone else. He was pushing to release the Epstein files. The media is occupied while he clearly suffered a stroke.

My guess is that Charlie agreed to a fake assassination attempt similar to Trump's and was murdered on Trump's orders.

EDIT: Another young Republican just like with Trump.

There are plenty of weak places on a human body that would lead to death from a bullet. For all we know the shooter actually missed but got a lucky when it blew open Chuck’s neck. And so did we, because we could watch it and not have to see a video of a man’s head exploding.

We really have zero information. It could be a lot of things but nothing is obvious.

[–] fittedsyllabi@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

We all know MAGA killed Kirk, right?

[–] zebidiah@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 weeks ago

My money is on a disillusioned pizza-gater, pissed off that Charlie stopped talking about the Epstein files, and figured that if Charlie aint talking about it, it obviously means Charlie was also dipping into the andrenachrone...

(You have to remember these are not smart people)

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 11 points 3 weeks ago

So he can threaten me but I get my comment removed if I threaten him back. This world is a joke someone pop his fucking head like a watermelon already.

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 10 points 3 weeks ago

It’s the starting sign for MAGA to start hunting people who they don’t like, which is pretty much everyone on the left from them. Stay safe! It’s going to be a hot autumn.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Um, what prominent figure was using even violent rhetoric towards the right? Never mind calling for anything like this?

Meanwhile, all I have to do is point at Taco for someone fomenting violence...

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

MAGA killing their own guys is hilarious
