Imagine if Richard Nixon had just tweeted out the Watergate scandal rather than putting it on secret tapes.

That’s what this is.

[John Pavlovitz Official @johnpavlovitz]

The White Conservative Church in America has slowly eradicated the compassionate, peacemaking, power-opposing, hypocrisy-confronting Jesus from its movement.

This is why it shouldn’t surprise us that we’re seeing this Jesus-less Church of White American Exceptionalism falling all over itself to anoint as sacred, a man whose words and platform have been completely bereft of the teachings of Jesus, and worse, that flew stridently, condescendingly in the face of them.

They are putting their kids in ‘I am Charlie Kirk’ t-shirts and waging phony culture wars, because it’s much easier to do that than to actually read the Sermon on the Mount with them and admit that the love, empathy, generosity, and hospitality of Jesus (things Charlie Kirk and Donald Trump fully reject) is the difficult path their faith tradition actually calls them to.

There are violent extremists on the left but they are not in charge of the party. You can find them on social media, not in the halls of power.

The violent extremists on the right are in congress, on courts, and sitting in the Oval Office.

Every single major Democratic politician condemned the murder of Charlie Kirk.

Meanwhile, before EVEN KNOWING WHO THE SHOOTER WAS, the Republican president gave a speech calling for VIOLENCE against Democrats.

There are masked thugs running through the streets dragging people out of cars at gunpoint.

There was an attempted violent coup at the Capitol building brought on by the President himself.

Hell he threatened to INVADE an American city FOUR DAYS AGO.

I’m genuinely sad the man died. Not because I agreed with a word he said but because he was a misguided person who was himself caught up in the culture of violence.

He deserved to be shouted down for his backward ideas, not murdered.

The most sickening part of this whole ordeal is the excitement you see in Republicans, how quickly they moved past any respect for the dead, any reflection on the environment they helped foster, straight into who should be murdered next.

THEY DON’T EVEN KNOW WHO THE SHOOTER IS, yet they are ignoring the obvious marks of a professional killer who clearly had a highly trained military background, and the fact that these guys tend to be right wing nut jobs with an obscure axe to grind.

But they’ve already given him (and we all know it’s a him not a her) an identity: the faceless embodiment of everything they hate and fear with a clearly coordinated messaging campaign to call him a “leftist.”

So it’s clear what they want and it’s not peace. They want a justification for more violence. They want a bloody shirt they can point to and say, “See? THIS is why there are thugs in the streets in masks pulling people from cars at gunpoint. THIS is why we must end the American experiment in democracy.”

And the most pathetic part of all is that none of it is necessary. Violent crime is down. Everywhere. This is all INVENTED. And it was done so to protect the pursuit of power of one man: a dim-witted child rapist who became a violent extremist simply because selling his dark vision of America was the only way his corrupt, soulless ass could stay out of jail.

To the Idiot Who Killed Charlie Kirk:

Against all odds, I hope you somehow come across this before they catch you, or I hope you’ll somehow read it before you take the coward’s way out by putting a gun in your own mouth.

I want you to know that there isn’t a rational adult in this country who thinks you’re a hero. There is no reasonable person who is thankful for your all-time act of self-important, destructive idiocy.

You have singlehandedly managed to make an increasingly unstable country that much more unstable, veering as we’ve been toward violent chaos, and the people who will suffer the most for it are those who were already fearing for our safety on a daily basis.

You have given some of the worst people in society the propaganda they desire to push their hateful agenda against the least protected among us.

I don’t care about your supposed reasons. Whatever your motivation happens to be, it’s definitely bullshit.

You don’t care about anyone but yourself.

If you did happen to care about this country and preserving our democracy and protecting the most marginalized, you’d have taken enough time to reflect on how this will only lead toward more violence and instability.

With a modicum of common sense, you’d have reached the obvious conclusion that political violence solves nothing. It is always immoral. It always self-serving.

It only leads to further violence and ultimately enables scapegoating of vulnerable communities. Committing acts of violence against those who disagree with us helps no one.

Your narcissism is now a national cancer that will likely metastasize, and the rest of us will have the responsibility for doing everything we can to stop its spread.

Your sociopathic fuck-up is now everyone else’s problem.

While law enforcement is busy looking for your moronic ass, we’re going to be flooded with the most asinine commentary blaming everyone else for your stupidity.

Trans people, Muslims, etc. Take your pick. We’re all being forced into this cycle of blame by shameless propagandists because of your selfish bullshit.

You have helped no one in doing this. We are all now less safe because of you.

I’m not supposed to root for anyone’s suffering, but I’ll make an exception in this case.

I really do hope you suffer for all the pain you’re about to cause so many innocent people who didn’t get a say before you decided to pull that trigger.

Fuck you.

This is the wife of Stephen Miller, who routinely talks about his opponents as if they're not even human beings, and has openly called for them to be treated like terrorists.

In a moment of tragedy, watch for people like her trying to fan the flames, rather than call for peace.

We can’t tolerate this anymore

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

If you're the kind of online ghoul who celebrates a man's murder, you're part of the problem.

It feels weird to celebrate our independence, when it’s pretty clear we’re losing it.

[John Pavlovitz Official @johnpavlovitz]

I’m surprised he decided go to war on a second country. You’d think destroying America would be enough.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but Elon is not on our side now. Stop. He’s on his side. Period.
