Sean Davis says Democrats murder the people they can't beat in elections... referring to unelected stage performer Charlie Kirk who held no political office. Meanwhile a right-winger did indeed murder Melissa Hortman, an elected Democrat whom the right wing was unable to beat in the election. Hmn.

You see, it’s okay if they do it…
And if they find out it wasn’t a Democrat or a minority who shot Charlie Kirk then they most assuredly won’t walk back their hate-filled words.
intashu
I always find it interesting that the moment it comes out a shooter was a right wing advocate and heavily invested into right wing content, it's all false flags and fake news and they don't want to talk about it anymore.
GratuaCuun
Remember, the left posted mean memes about a literal nazi on the internet :(
aristera
Republicans defaulting to their greatest skills, playing the victim after years of probing and attacking people and pretending to be shocked when someone fights back.
Seanspeed
This is more than playing a victim. They want to use this as an opportunity to do a mass authoritarian crackdown on democracy and the American left. They see this as a chance to grab power permanently.
twolfhound
Push and push and push... And when someone pushes back, use it as justification to finally deliver a punch. Then claim you're just defending yourself. Works in the streets, works for govt.
Seanspeed
It's very literally the method used by groups like the Proud Boys. They try and rile up anti-protestors into doing something against them, so they can record it, edit out the inconvenient bits, and then use that footage as propaganda about the 'violent left'. And they are entirely open about doing this, too! lol I'm sure a ton of right wingers are outright gleeful right now at the opportunity of painting the left in a bad light right now.
aristera
And they have no idea who the shooter was. They have just made the assumption that it was some left winger because to them, who else could it be?

Ah yes, social media, where a dumbass can convince other dumbasses to tell their dumbasses what a dumbass told them to think.

Not surprising. I hope that IF they find the shooter, turns out to be a trump voter who's partner was assaulted by kirk.

I checked r/Conservative and saw multiple accounts (some with hidden post histories) talking about how they have voted D in the past, but the response to Kirk's death means they will never do that again.
I would ask how that's different from the R response to the Hortman or Paul Pelosi attacks, but that sub explicitly does not allow dissident speech or questions.
Oh, they also wanna completely ban TikTok and any other site that has any users that joke about or won't condemn the Kirk killing.
intashu
The whole subreddit is a circlejerk for themselves. Nobody in there is genuine or authentic, It's filled with bots and accounts for the sole purpose of stoking the flames. There aint a single person alive who legitimately thinks that due to Kirk's death that's the reason they'll never vote democratic again. They're already there, but comments like that feed the circle jerk and they'll upvote it.
The whole thing is Hypocracy, they protect the pedo-dent and refuse and BAN critical thinking.

I’m so conflicted, I don’t condone violence and I know killing him doesn’t kill his ideas but at the same time shit like this needs to happen for real change right? Like we haven’t done so without violence like this in the past

All we needed to do was vote. That's it. People say that wouldn't be enough, but it would if people really turned out.
literallymike
Hear me out - what if the GOP, knowing this would be the reaction from the "stand back and stand by" crowd and they were like, "who's more useful as a martyr?" and orchestrated the whole thing.
(I want to get ahead of the batshit conspiracy theories by starting my own.)
Seanspeed
This is just a slightly more self-aware version of the wishful thinking accusations the right does when their own kills liberals/minorities. It's just not a healthy thing to do, or at least maybe keep it to yourself. Of course it would be hilarious if the shooter was a right winger, but I'd say chances of that are really damn slim here, and we should face that reality instead of trying to wish it was something different.
Whirlednews
Not even that far fetched, seems like they would gladly kill one of their own to take the pressure of the Epstein files and rile up the real violent lunatics, like the traitors from the January 6th Capitol attack.
IslaNublar
Direct hit to the jugular from 200 years away? AND the target had recently started bad-mouthing glorious orange leader and was demanding the list be released? This was absolutely a professional hit in the hopes that it will allow them to seize power forever.
literallymike
(My thoughts exactly. Way too tactical.)
Telemapus
Shooter hit him in one and got away clean. This is going to be weirder than anyone in mainstream punditry can predict. Yet at the same time, because social media allows so many millions of voices to cry out a once, I bet someone somewhere has already guessed exactly what it was.
Me? It was Mossad Time Cops. No I will not be taking questions.
Seanspeed
Definitely jump straight to accusing the Jews. It's not funny when that's literally a common antisemitic conspiracy theory whenever stuff like this happens.
Telemapus
Mossad are not "the Jews". Also Kirk was anti-Israel in a way I can see they would find extremely irritating (ie he's at the same time on the side of the most pro-Israel US administration in years).
Seanspeed
Mossad ARE Jews. And Mossad is often brought up in conspiracy theories built on the 'Jews control the world' narratives, as a shadowy group of Jewish people pulling the puppet strings of all these major incidents around the world. It's extremely popular among antisemites. Maybe you didn't know that, but now you do.
Telemapus
You said "blame THE Jews" implying that even joking about Mossad being behind a killing is condemning an entire religion. Would you have made this comment if I said CIA? Would you say "blaming America isn't funny". What about the KGB/SVR? Come on. Rational people know "Mossad" means "Israel", not every Jewish person. Mossad has a track record of operating in flagrant disregard of international law and they don't get a pass because Hitler killed six million Jews.
literallymike
...hold up. What you're saying about the time cop stuff is starting to make a lot of sense...
IslaNublar
The elderly man who was grabbed first reportedly said something like "I'd do it again" and didn't resist when they grabbed him, just said "I have the right to remain silent" and let himself be dragged away. Then it was revealed he wasn't the shooter. Sounds like a distract decoy for the public to focus on while the real shooter slipped away.
Jimthebutler
I'm pretty sure most of those are alt right spam bots, though its hard to tell these days. we dont even know the motivation of the shooter. this is just them making a clear, unambiguous, statement that they are interested in using violence on all who disagree with them, instead of denouncing political violence and taking preventative measures.
Seanspeed
They're not 'bots', but most are definitely engagement baiters for sure.
Telemapus
Grok won't even allow itself to believe Charlie Kirk is dead. It kept saying he can take roasts like this. Jesus Christ, Elon, can't you have a word with that thing?!
Bystandr
Yeah libs of tiktok is a garbage agitator for sure..
ArkoneAxon
...Um... "using violence on all who disagree with them." Like what just happened to Charlie Kirk? I mean, I disagreed with him on pretty much EVERY subject, but that doesn't change the reality: he was clearly killed for making speech that people disagreed with, and now that he's dead people who disagreed with him are cheering and normalizing the use of violence on all who disagree with them.
Jimthebutler
Yes, he was likely the victim of political violence, ( the perpetrators motive will determine) these accounts are now calling for more political violence to make up for this act of political violence. Both the act of political violence committed against Charlie Kirk and further acts of political violence are wrong in principle, and errode our system of democracy and our personal liberty garunteeing the freedom of expression. Neither should be tolerated.
EroticZombiePants
It's possible the shooter lost loved ones to bullets and simply couldn't handle seeing someone so actively dismissing any sort of gun control any longer.
MissSiesta
It's time to arm yourself, if you can. If you want a free America, you will have to fight for it. Right now you're not living in a democracy. Every country who wanted democracy had to fight for it. That also means sacrificing lives.
Seanspeed
Great job sounding exactly like Trump supporters.
MissSiesta
Naw. I only belive in taking up arms when needed. During the second world war it was needed. Americans haven't really needed to arm themselves until Trump made it clear that citizens' rights will not be upheld. That's when arming one self is the better alternative.
I hate guns, but I hate fascists and nazis more.

So close! So close. But didn't realize the Reichstag Fire was how the Nazis justified whatever they did next, or is just outright siding with the Nazis which honestly would not be surprising.

The right is deporting people and taking away womens rights. The right is actually killing people in overseas death camps, ripping apart families, destroying Democracy, occupying cities with the military. America has been at war since jan 20th. They just dont want the left to finally start fighting back.
EroticZombiePants
Like Luigi, this is very likely going to ultimately be an isolated incident.
DatDarthCaedus
True, or another disillusioned Republican, but that won't stop it from escalating things.
MAGA is already claiming that there's some evil conspiracy involving the Democrats and "powerful elites" behind this shooting, and I wouldn't be surprised if they try to use it as an excuse to crack down on political opponents no matter what comes out.
agonarch
Just because they're not killing you with guns, doesn't mean they're not killing you. Trumps 'handling' of COVID, the cutting back on critical services (especially health and safety services) have already killed literally hundreds of thousands of people, fairly indiscriminately. That's not even getting into the policies that'll hurt/kill people financially, which are many.
They don't care though because they know there's more Democrats than Republicans, so if it's 50/50% they win anyway.
GrandmasterSpank
Thats exactly it. Charlie Kirk in his ~15 years career has probably killed thousands of people. But because they all died indirectly, nobody bats an eye. Now some wackjob kills Charlie and the right is screaming murder and mayhem. The score is 100000 : 1 but they dont give a fuck about the 100.000 dead.

grimwyrd
I am a woke libtard. I know many other woke libtards. None of us have the gun or skill to kill a person with one shot from 200 yards. In fact, most of us are so "live and let live" that we try hard tot to "dead-name" or "mis-pronoun" people because we don't want to hurt their feelings. Having the gun, the skill, and the willingness to shoot someone dead... feels more like a right-winger to me.
EroticZombiePants
Apparently, it takes extensive conditioning and training to the point where everything is purely reflexive to even get the average soldier to kill each other during war, and they straight up joined the military knowing that there's a possibility of them going off to war somewhere. Even people who have been hunting animals their entire life likely wouldn't be capable of kill-shots on another human.
Madalchemist2018
I bet the shooter went to an American school.
EroticZombiePants
I'm not sure why I was voted down so much. I only said the average person needs to go through a bunch of training to be able to kill people. There are obviously exceptions, but I'm willing to bet very few people visiting here would be capable of preemptively killing someone even if they didn't like them. Kill in self-defense? Maybe. Premeditative murder? Extremely unlikely. That goes beyond simply punching a Nazi.

This is ridiculous. Liberals also have guns, the skills to wield them, and the motivation to act.

I get that this is satire, but I can't tell if this is a liberal stating the opinion he thinks conservatives have of liberals, or a conservative trying to portray a supposedly liberal position and why he thinks they would try to blame conservatives. Very confusing post, but it does illustrate the conservative's 'Schrodinger's Liberal'; completely afraid of any type of firearm, and responsible for all gun violence in America.
