There is an oncologist at my Tuesday night horse shoes, who said, something to the effect of, Charlie Kirk spouted a lot of hate. He admitted that he had never heard of him before he was assassinated, and when I told him he was dead wrong he said, "Well, agree to disagree".
I've known this guy for years. He's not a bad guy at all. He's not very political, and he's not paying attention to the news. He is just ignorant, and he is trusting someone who is untrustworthy to describe reality for him. THAT is the main problem. I hunt and fish with a bunch of winder hangers. The one guy is a third generation glazer. They're Democrats. They hate Trump, but talking to them or hanging out with them you would never ever know, because they are no different than we are. They've just been programed by their union that they can't vote any other way or it will be the apocalypse for their business, and after three generations it is pretty deeply ingrained. That said, pick any issue or current event, and they will be right there with you as a normal, thinking, human being. There is an ignorance on the left that is just astounding, and it's mostly for people who are disengaged but believe the propaganda of leftist fanatics who pretend to deliver news.
I'm not sure what the fix is, but Trump successfully sued for defamation. What do all of us who don't have billions of dollars to waste on law suits do? I don't care if Jimmy Kimmel is an anti-Christian bigot (which he is), but I do care that he lies to people who literally can't discern reality from fantasy, because they are fucking this country up. It's like the radical fringe has been in control so long they are howling as their power is taken away.
Sort of hard to take the principled position when Obama and Biden weaponized the whole government to attack conservatives. Louis Learner was never punished at all for violating the rights of millions of Americans. She was allowed to retire on a full pension that we are all STILL paying for!!! If you want to stand on principal, then you have to be for justice. You can't ignore justice/injustice, and then pretend you are this principled person who is against retribution for dirty politics and lies. If there's no justice and no accountability for all the Federal Government's crimes, political retribution is all you have, and if you refuse to use it then you are basically quitting the field to the most radical elements of the left. We just can't do that, because we know they will kill you.
