You can write this only if, by virtue of your income, identity, or both, you are utterly removed from the consequences of politics. To pretend that the racist, misogynistic, anti-gay vileness that Kirk spent his life spreading is secondary to the fact that he spread it "the right way" is appalling.

we all know he’s a 24/7 bs machine, but when it’s pointed directly at you, you really get to see how it works. our city is amazing, not “hell”, downtown has been uneventful for *years*. yes, there are protests at ICE, one building not downtown. but things are super normal. now… maybe not for long?
“If we go to Portland, we’re going to wipe them out, they’re going to be gone,” President Donald Trump said. “They’ve ruined that city. … What they’ve done to that place, it’s like living in hell.”
‘Like living in hell’: Trump hints Portland could be next city to see National Guard on streets
When asked at a press briefing if he’d decided which city he would deploy troops to next, the president referenced a TV report he saw Thursday about ongoing protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Portland.

It’s bad enough to flatter the boss as a requirement for employment. But it’s even worse to sell out your fellow Oregonians along the way.
