Sigh....
Before anything - let it be said very clearly that violence in support of political views is vile. It is evil. It is un-American and indecent. No respectable or morally sound Democrat or liberal would find glee in the news of yet another tragic gun-related tragedy in America, regardless of who the victim is. But, sadly you just know that Drumpf and MAGA operatives will exploit this violent event today and make things even worse, as they always do.
Anyway, on the heels of this horrific news of MAGA influencer and propagandist Charlie Kirk being shot and apparently killed (latest news reports) at a college event in Utah today, please keep this viewpoint of Mr. Kirk's in mind in the coming days as Drumpf and MAGA attempt to exploit this tragedy for maximum political gain, and you fucking know they will because that's the kind of unscrupulous, cynical people they are [article from April, 2023]:

"Charlie Kirk, the conservative founder and president of Turning Point USA, said during an organizational event on Wednesday that gun deaths in exchange for the preservation of Second Amendment rights is part of America's reality.
Kirk's comments come about one week after three children and three adults were killed at the Christian Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee."
"America's reality," as Charlie Kirk saw it was that Americans were just going to have to suck it up and tolerate the 40,000 gun deaths in this country every year, the mass shootings, the gun-related domestic violence, and guns becoming the number one cause of death of American kids, because God Bless the fucking Second Amendment.
Sigh. . .
They who live by the MAGA rule of unfettered 2nd Amendment rights. . . well, you know the rest.
RIP Charlie Kirk. RIP tragic irony.
