Having neither a subject in custody nor any confirmation of the motive of a shooter didn’t stop President Donald Trump on Wednesday evening from seizing on the killing of Christian nationalist youth leader Charlie Kirk as an excuse for declaring war on the political left.

“violence and murder are the tragic consequence of demonizing those with whom you disagree” Trump said unironically.

    Well he has in so many other ways, but why not?

    Honestly, I am much happier if he calls this his reichstag fire moment. Charlie Kirk practiced what he preached, and got exactly what he fucking deserved.

    The right doesn’t want us to resist. They will decry resistance in all forms, yet continue to steal, rape, and maim the people who would resist. It’s not about letting them have what they want, it’s about making sure it’s really fucking hard to get it.
