Joe Biden has out lived Charlie Kirk.
Wait… Did I miss something? Is Charlie Kirk dead?
His last word was “violence”. 🤣
I’m now up to speed. I don’t know if the shooter was listening but their timing was impeccable. He was asked a question about mass shootings/gun violence and his response was to try and get racist about it by saying something about “gang voilence”. Then he got popped.
One of those rare moments where someone who spreads hate gets it shoved back in their face, almost literally.
Bro got 360 noscoped earlier today.
I would be very surprised if there wasn’t a scope
Dead as disco.
In a way, he was right
The man is responsible for a shocking amount of harm
Can I get a Recap? Ik he had controversial views but did he actually have any effect on anything?
He founded Turning Point USA, which did a whole heck of a lot of bad things, not to mention that his rhetoric actively radicalized many people, who will then perpetuate much more harm.
For example, he advocated against abortion even in cases of rape, which then helped push people to support local legislation against abortion in all cases, which is then correlated with an increase in deaths during and just after pregnancy.
He actively spread COVID misinformation that led to many people not getting vaccinated, which likely killed some of those unlucky, and he actively perpetuated anti-immigrant rhetoric that likely played at least some part in the violence directed toward them.
This doesn’t even begin to get into his anti-queer views, the fact TPUSA was influential in growing Trump’s campaign and popularity, his support for Israel’s genocide, or any of the knock-on effects caused from the people he himself radicalized.
So yes, he most definitely had an effect.
Thank you for the refresher.
One actual effect so far was getting racist history revisionism mandated in some states children’s schools to replace the history of slavery in America.

Not every country is like this. I’m actively planning to move to a county that isn’t.
Not it’s still mostly the US. Although my country (Germany) seems hellbent on following soon, so maybe the US is just ahead of the stupidity curve.
They sure did today
There’s two sides to every coin, yeah? 🤷
My girlfriend and I had a really great day making fun of this piece of shit. Good to see that bad things still happen to these roaches.
He didn’t mean his life specifically.
One would refer to that as “tone deaf”
I don’t advocate for reddit (I don’t like it) but /r/DGU collects news articles of Defensive Gun Use, so if you feel the need to read about people fending off robbers, murderers, and rapists, you can do so there.
Do they also collect stories of rivers, murders and rapists using guns against others? Which happens a fuck ton more often than the inverse?
Why the fuck would they do that? “Defensive” gun use, where’s your head buddy?
I’m pointing out the imbalance in their uses, buddy
Holy shit, do I need to draw a map for you?
A group dedicated to trying to make guns seem like a force for good that only does so by ignoring the 99% of the time they’re used for bad…is lying.
Speaking of imbalance, in the USA, Black and American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) people have the highest firearm mortality rates of any racial or ethnic group. The U.S. also ranks at the 92nd percentile of all countries and territories for child and teen firearm mortality.

No I understand exactly what you were trying to do, and I was trying to point out how retarded it was.
Do I need to draw a map for you?
Yeah you didn’t get it.
Now you’re doing the no u things out of embarrassment. Let the grown ups talk
When I’m sitting at home, I am not living in constant fear of fending off robbers and rapists, or fantasizing about murdering them with a firearm.
