    1. Abigail is a whole legend for that call 👑. It’s so rare to hear someone push back that directly, and she nailed the hypocrisy perfectly. Honestly, it’s the kind of energy I wish we saw more often calling things out without fear, and reminding people that “family values” shouldn’t just be a political slogan.

      I hate kirk, but I feel bad he died. People like him who run such campaigns should be beat intellectually and through good political movements, not killing. Was the guy a prick? Yes. Was the guy smart? Sure. Did he have the potential to become great and a a way better debater if he changed his toxic perspective? Yes. 

    3. “I can’t stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new-age term that does a lot of damage” – Charlie Kirk

    4. That’s their whole schtick: to punch downwards every single day, to endlessly wink wink at punishment directed at an out group, and to build careers on ragebaiting. As soon as a response to something doesn’t line up with theirs, they start talking like UN human rights lawyers, with appeals to fairness and lamenting the loss of decency in the world. It’s a politics of dismantling polite society, yet they revive & weaponize it when it suits them. It’s absurd, and it would be laughable if there weren’t millions of people acting like this.

    5. As a Brit, I do really sympathise with what America is going through right now, it’s terrifying (not as in this specific event, just the general shitshow).

      But 99% of us over this side of the pond hadn’t heard of this guy a week ago, and I’m so tired of the media Americanising their output just because there’s a lot more Americans than there are Brits and they only care about getting the clicks.

      I’m sure the govt love it because it’s a distraction from their own shitshow, but what does this have to do with us?

      (Of course LBC would go so far as to do a call in though, they’ve been propping up Farage for years).

    6. I was watching this and just told my wife that it’s kind of strange that there are other people in other countries who are heavily invested in our (Americas) politics. Maybe I’m just a self centered American but besides y’all’s current prime minister and other PMs from the recent past, I’m not sure I could name another politician lol.

    7. Kirk said that if his daughter was raped, she would deliver the child, no matter what. ’nuff said about his character, I guess?

      He wasn’t even polite, he was a shit debater and a bully. Rascist ass shit doesn’t become ”just an opinion” if you just say it nicely enough
