    I had never really heard of this guy before yesterday.

    Now I’m learning a bunch about him, and I can see why someone would have wanted to kill him.

    I feel terrible for his daughter who was right there. That’s going to ruin her life for sure. For him though, you live by the sword you die by the sword, tough shit, I can’t believe he would do this to his daughter.

    I’m extremely conflicted.

    On one hand, political violence is bad.* I condemn it in the strongest terms. And the short term consequences are going to be awful.

    On the other hand, Charlie Fuck’n Kirk is an awful shitberg and the only reason I’m not dancing is that we can’t justifiably call it dancing. (Flopping like a half-dead fish?)

    Humans are messy, complicated and frequently contradictory. Sue me.

    (*no conflict at all condemning the school shooting that happened the same day that nobody is talking about. Or the Epstein files that we are now being distracted from.)

    I will be empathizing even more, feeling your pains and trying to help you figure out why your pains are. Whether you choose to take this time to self-reflect is completely up to you.
