    How can you even begin to critique other nations/continents safety with a gun death record like theirs.

    No other first world-adjacent nation that is not currently actively engaged in a actual boots on the ground warfare gets even remotely close to being this bad.

    Wasn’t her own husband assassinated in broad daylight on American soil under President Trump?

    Counterpoint: America is probably slightly safer without Charlie Kirk’s rhetoric.

        “We must also be real. We must be honest with the population. Having an armed citizenry comes with a price, and that is part of liberty…I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.”

        He was also against 2SLGBTQI+ people

        And he has said many things that are straigh up racist. So yeah, good riddance to him. May he rest in piss

    They really just say whatever in pursuit of their goals. Conservatives should not be taken seriously. They’re dishonest, cognitive hazards.

    The party of 1984. They couldn’t possibly adhere to it any closer.

    In this way every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct, nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record. All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary.

    Orwell, 1984

    They just make shit up like what actually happened or what they said before never existed.

      Did some random person claim that he shot you? Then after he was arrested they found out he didn’t shoot you, but he had pedo porn on his laptop so they arrested him for that. I don’t know what’s real anymore.

      I don’t think he was advocating for it. It was more of a disingenuous ‘we’ve tried nothing and are all out of ideas’.

      I personally think that is worse.

    Yes of course it has. Trust me, I’m here. No need to confirm yourself. There are criminals everywhere. Just trust me.

      See you’d think that’d work, but the US kidnapped the democratically elected Venezuelan president while committing horrific war crimes that if any other country did it the US would immediately invade for doing, all over the fact ‘the country was full of criminals.’

      So really ErCIA Kirk is just laying the propaganda framework for an invasion of Europe by the US.

        The problem is that the pretense doesn’t even have to actually have any basis in reality

          This. Its not as through Venezuela was invaded because they were insufficiently rigorous in proving the US’s statements wrong. The US was going to do that anyway

      They all want to get into Trump’s good graces by emulating his favorite look on a woman: that of the teenage daughter that he pretty much openly bragged about raping

      Obviously it’s more complicated than only this one thing, but the most compelling theory I’ve heard about it basically goes: if you want to be a prominent woman in the maga movement you have to prove that you accept that you are inferior and not threatening to the men, by playing up this extreme and debasing kind of hyper femininity. In Bed with the Right has a great episode about this and some related ideas.

      Intelligent independent women wouldn’t support MAGA, and they promote the blonde white women because they are white-supremacists.

        That’s okay, conservatives want the blonde at home and in media, but they actually prefer to mack on women from outside their ranks as those are often perceived as more interesting and fun.
