You keep handwaving Kirk being a moral monster who was actively making the nation and the world a significantly more hostile & dangerous place for millions of disadvantaged human beings as “You just disagree with him.” Why?
You need to ask yourself who influenced the shooter to take action against another human being. Could it be other liberal outlets that called for his death?
“Someone needs to take him out” / “he needs to get shot”
Etc etc etc
These people put these subliminal messages out there hoping someone would act upon it. A good example is “8647”
Who is the bigger monster in this scenario? Charlie Kirk initiates an open dialogue amongst all parties, but he’s a monster because he maintained his convictions while agreeing to disagree, or the person who listened to the violent rhetoric of influencers, commentators and took it upon himself to kill a father of 2 children?
you act like violent rhetoric is not a staple of right wing tactics. if the left does it the right does it at the very least just as much but I would bet money it’s much more.
are you conveniently forgetting the Minnesota shooter who impersonated a cop and had a whole political hit list? the far right is not innocent of violent rhetoric.

since i don’t hear about violent rhetoric nearly as much on the left i went to do some good-faith research. here’s the best article i could find on violent rhetoric by political ideology: https://www.journalofdemocracy.org/articles/the-rise-of-political-violence-in-the-united-states/
