Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

I love Mr. Hamill but he's off the mark here. People like Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, Alex Jones et al have been engaged in violence against those who do not have a voice for decades.
They have weaponized their platform and weaponized their followers against those with less power.

HORRIBLE. SICKENING. UNACCEPTABLE.
In a democracy we settle our differences with words, ideas & actions, not hatred, guns & violence.

This is the thing people don't know. Putin is running money through all right wing populist movements in the western world. Including the gop in the USA. Who bankrolled the NRA? Who bankrolls trump? I bet they're also behind the heritage.
It isn't organic. It's bought and paid for, like all the right-wing "populist" movements in continental Europe, by Russian money run through offshore accounts. (Not my opinion--documented in the Panama, Paradise and Pandora Papers leaks.)

One thing I've always admired about the white nationalists in this country is the commitment to the bit.
They've been at this game most of my entire life and have just chipped away at institution after institution for 40+ years.
And they're on the precipe of finally finishing off the Republic.

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

People say to me all the time that I'm pessimistic about what's going on in my country, the United States with regard to the Trump administration and why I know the Republic is over.
It's dead. We just don't want to admit it and process the grief of it.
So let me lay some things out.

Lee Atwater had a pungent and famous quote about how once conservatives could no longer use the n-word they used things like “states’ rights” to invoke the same spirit.
I don’t think it’s an exaggeration any more — if it ever was — to say they use DEI as the n-word.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Hegseth: I don't answer to anyone in this group, none of you, not to that camera at all. I answer to President Trump.. I answer to the 50— the 100 senators who are part of this process and those in the committee.
