    “Bad faith”. I’m just pointing out the insanity of thinking the public assassination of a talking bobblehead is justified in anyway.

      The right is fisting deep into violent speech, bigotry and just generally being disgusting human being and when one of them get their comeuppance, you come here and talk about the left. Fuck off.

      Kirk has been advocating violence against LBGTQ+, normalizing school shootings in the name of the 2nd amendment and has been a major player in the current US fascist state.

      He got was he preached.

      Kirk wasn’t just some “talking bobblehead,” he was a moral monster with a large following who was actively making the nation and the world a significantly more hostile & dangerous place for millions of disadvantaged human beings. The fact that his voice will no longer be a part of the national discourse is an unambiguously good thing and is worth celebrating, and I refuse to be ashamed for doing just that.
