Plenty of young adults live with their parents it’s not an absurd thought to have. |

The governor of Utah isn't familiar with the internet/gamer meme culture the shooter was steeped in. He is interpreting the bullet scrawlings literally, an out of touch geezer speaking out of turn to suit is narrative. Which is what all the Right is doing right now to avoid the truth. This guy isn't who you've been calling for violence against. He is a homegrown radical; radicalized by the alt-right. |

There is data and studies out on unqualified dei hire’s grades, tests scores, performance, lawsuits. Same with unskilled, uneducated, illiterate illegal immigrants. Same with handgun deaths in every country. Data and peer reviewed studies are out there. And they’re not OpEds or XYZ Studies surveys or opinion papers. |

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Erika Kirk is creepy. Watch a few videos of her. There is one in which she and Charlie confer about how she is "far more conservative than he is" and she proudly proclaims to be "very far right." She was also 5-6 years older than he was which is really atypical for their culture. [/quote]
It’s so weird the alt-right and these super religious people have this weird look in their eyes. You can tell when somebody is just pretending from moneybecause they don’t have crazy eyes[/quote] yep. she comes across very harsh. There is nothing soft, Jesus-like, submissive wife about her which is weird because that is her message but her persona says she'd cut a bi$%tch in about 5 seconds flat. I went down a whole Erika Kirk video rabbit trail the other night. [/quote] It’ll be interesting to see if she can continue TP. She certainly sounds as divisive as he was. Erika Kirk vowed in a speech today to continue her husband’s movement and said that “the cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry,” USA Today reports. Said Kirk: “If you thought that my husband’s mission was powerful before, you have no idea. You have no idea what you’ve just unleashed across this entire country, and this world. You have no idea the fire you’ve ignited within this wife.” [/quote] Hmm. Sorry, gravy train will stop: 1.Her husband had some warmth and charisma, she doesn't. 2. Also, the conservative ecosystem wants its males to lead large movements. Women influencers in the conservative sphere, of which there are many, have to fight for a much smaller slice of the pie and usually their followers are other conservative women. This family is done for now. Maybe in the fullness of time she can marry another male influencer and carry him to success. This appears to be her talent: pushing a husband to lead. I respect that. It's no small feat. [/quote] Yes. She's the JD Vance of the pairing. No charisma, no warmth, no likability. Charlie had charisma in spades and just the right amount of good looks that appealed to both men and women, young people and their middle aged mothers. [/quote] Are you...blind? Charlie Kirk was hideous, almost deformed. [/quote] +1 His wife is beautiful, he wasn’t. His head and face were weird.[/quote] So, we are at the place in the discussion where you are criticizing the appearance of someone brutally murdered and the "charisma" of his widow. DCUM never fails to disappoint in the shallowness of discussion. [b]You people could have learned something from Charlie Kirk. [/b] [/quote] We did. Empathy is dangerous. [twitter]https://x.com/JasonSCampbell/status/1580241307515383808[/twitter][/quote] Amazing that people who say this also claim to be devout Christians[/quote] Can you paste the whole transcript, I’d like to know the whole context and how and why that response came up. Conflating empathy for a killer for justice? Making excuses for someone’s bad decision? I can be empathetic to the drugged up criminal who knifed that girl to death in then subway, AND still want him imprisoned for life. But I won’t let him go free a 15th time because I’m “empathetic.” Don’t conflate empathy with naïveté. [/quote] Charlie Kirk's position on empathy: - Empathy, while often seen as a virtue, can be a tool used to manipulate emotions and push ideological agendas, particularly by the left. - Empathy has been "hijacked" to promote policies like open borders or leniency toward crime, which he believed undermine societal order and harm society as a whole. - Empathy should not override reason, justice, or truth, and that conservatives should prioritize principles like family, faith, and national sovereignty over emotional appeals. - He did not entirely dismiss empathy, acknowledging it as a natural human response but urging it be tempered with discernment. |

I’ll address the first and third quotes since those are the ones I am familiar with. The comment about the black pilot was from a larger discussion about how one of the drawbacks of DEI is that it places doubt as to whether accomplished Black people got to their positions due to DEI and how that doubt hurts them. If you watch the entire clip he is definitely not saying that he thinks that Black people are inherently unqualified to be pilots. As far as the widely quoted statement as to how he thought a certain number of gun deaths was an unfortunate cost to having the second amendment…. As someone who hates guns and would like to see them banned, I get what he was saying. He feels the second amendment is so important that the fact that a certain number of innocent people will die is something that needs to be tolerated. I mean don’t all of us share this opinion on some topics? The thing could be said for driving cars. Obviously a certain number of people are going to die in car accidents due to allowing cars on tje road, but the greater benefit to society is worth it. |

He was a demagogue, prone to clear, black and white thinking. I think a lot of people are like this, because it allows them to articulate a position, conservative or liberal, and find supportive evidence for any position they want to take. I don't know why people like to listen to personalities like this, on any side. His whole "prove me wrong" schtick was a gimmick. I think people like him, loudmouths who use their platform to project such divisive, harmful rhetoric, need to be on alert, because we are entering a new phase. |

Why is it so hard to understand that when people assume if you’re black you’re not qualified? |

there aren't enough eye rolls. no one has suggested that everything out of the guy's mouth was questionable. And by the way, on this very thread, I challenged someone who talked about stoning gay people and cautioned the poster to stick to the actual quotes. Like these. "If I see a Black pilot, I'm going to be like, boy, I hope he's qualified." (January 2024) "Happening all the time in urban America, prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people, that's a fact." (May 2023) To Taylor Swift, "Reject feminism. Submit to your husband, Taylor. You're not in charge." (August 2025) He has also claimed that young women who vote for Democrats "want careerism, consumerism, and loneliness" while "Trump voters, young men, they want family, children and legacy." (August 2025) He has publicly stated that he believes "there is no separation of church and state." (July 2022) the Civil Rights Act of 1965 was a "huge mistake," because it led to a "permanent DEI-type bureaucracy." (December 2023) Right after a school shooting: "it's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other God-given rights." (April 2023) |
