“The way to defeat Kirk was with words and facts.”
And you scoff like my statement was outlandish.
My gut feeling is this isn’t going to be as impactful as people are saying. I remember the media buzz after Trump was almost waxed and we didn’t see any (noteworthy) reprisals.

Depends. Jan 6th saw some pretty unhinged people get together with guns and zip ties. It wouldnt take much, for that to have gone a whole lot worse. And now we are seeing right leaders and influencers all over the world mark this as a call for violence against the left. I have a feeling that somebody, somewhere, who has no connection to whats happened, pay the price for whats happened to Kirk.
If nothing else, he’ll become a martyr. And that might be the worst thing of all.
