If the right *truly* believed Charlie Kirk was a defender of free speech and someone who was fine with dissenting opinions, they wouldn't be engaged in a massive campaign to punish anyone who didn't "mourn him properly."

They clearly know all of that is bullshit. Only the media was conned.

And FTR, whether or not you believe he “deserved” to get shot (few victims of gun violence “deserve” it), these are his words: "I think it's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.”

"We're bad at this, but we're all you've got. There is no alternative. But we heard your message that our ads our bad. Give us money to make better ads in which we will promise things we will not do. I mean, we could do them. They sound good. But we won't. Just give us ad money."

I think more than anyone else it was James Dobson who put me on the path to understanding that evangelical Christianity is evil garbage. I’ve hated that smug motherfucker since I was like eight years old.

Burn in Hell James Dobson, you complete fascist child abusing misogynist homophobic scumbag.

Here's a quick 4,000 word obit that really lays out the truth about him.

james dobson is dead and cannot wish anything but eternal pain on that mother fucker. that guy destroyed so many lives

Here Lies James Dobson. Laid to rest beside him is all the broken relationships between parents and children influenced by his teachings, and a functioning GOP that wasn't obsessed with a Christian nationalist vision at the expense of democracy itself.

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

at least toby keith is dead this time

once again I have to invoke the specter of Ronald Wilson Reagan, who is in Hell now. under Reagan, the term "government spending" was effectively demonized. fuck you, Reaganite ghouls! spending money, on its people and their needs, is the function of government! public works are good! say so!

governments should spend money, literally all their fucking money. on taking care of the people from whom they got the money. on building cool shit for the people from whom they got the money to use, like highways and public works. this is real easy

how can these people be so bad at this

It's the Musk Effect. Someone who sounds like a genius until he starts talking about something you're knowledgeable about, and you realize he's saying the dumbest shit ever.

aside from being morally bankrupt or outright abhorrent, there’s also the fact that complying in advance simply does not work

chuck if you want trade jobs so that you can post all day and i can mobilize the senate dems to action just say the word

Every media figure who asks "but who is going to PAY for that?" every time a hungry kid gets a sandwich are going to stay totally silent, because capitalism insists that taking every last bit of wealth a nation of 400 million generates and giving it to 540 people is generative and sustainable.

Child allowances, free public universities, and public health insurance provision are not "hand-outs"; they are smart social policies that countries that aren't deeply dysfunctional and cruel provide their citizens because they make everything (including the economy) better.

Ok I let this moment radicalize me but then there were like 10000 more moments what now

I'm not crying at work, you are 🥹
