“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.
“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
— J.R.R. Tolkien
These people think we have the memories of goldfish. I remember MAGA losing its mind with anger when people said protests like this were incredibly dangerous. "Second Amendment!" they said.
Yet these folks protested with their hands on (apparently) loaded rifles. That's far more dangerous! Alex Pretti never put his hand on his gun, and was disarmed before he was shot.
We know MAGA is about free speech for me and not for thee. Now it's gun rights for me and not for thee.
It’s so funny how effortlessly these cheerleading “conservatives” just embrace whatever ridiculous argument comes out of the administration without even a moment’s hesitation.
We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.
I am so sad for Charlie Kirk, his family, & our country.
You don’t shoot someone because you disagree. In fact, you don’t even yell at someone because you disagree. You just have a conversation like mature adults & maybe even learn something from the convo. Give it a try.
Political violence is evil. I don't care how angry you are at your opponents. We have a ballot box. We have courts. We have free speech. I'm sick with grief for Charlie and his family. I'm sick with concern for this country.
