    The fascist media is pushing the martyr narrative HARD.

    I have to use all my strength not to scream at brainwashed family members at how horrid this person was. Mentioning the school shooting that happened on the same day or the MURDER of 2 Minnesotam democrats (and their spouses) usually shuts them up though. I just hate seeing everyone i know getting sucked into this shit. They weren’t a good person, they were not improving the world, they were dividing us. I will feel zero empathy for them. As they would have wanted

      Did a surgeon call it a “miracle” the bullet stopped in Kirk’s body, somehow making him Bullet Jesus?

        Yes, Charlie had superman-like bullet stopping strength. Sadly for him, the bullet stopping layer was just behind his carotid artery.

        The dumbest part of that take is there was fucking nobody behind him. Who would it have hit if it did go through?

          It’s a Holy Miracle! Bullet Jeebus was right there and took one for the USA! The Pope will canonize the bullet soon.

          Of course, the miracle could just as easily be attributed to the skill of the shooter.

      I’m in the same boat. Nothing is worse than losing loved ones and an entire country to this cult. I wish that we could come together and take down the Cults and propaganda in the same way that we took action against Disney+.

        Yeah it really sucks.

        Unfortunately there is no way I can un brainwash them. The Russian bots on Facebook and fox news have them completely convinced Trans people are coming for their guns and turning all their kids gay. And dump is their savior.

          They really don’t care about the whole trans conspiracy. They just like the fact that they don’t have to hide their hatred anymore. Our loved ones truly are victims of the cult. But they will have to want to leave the cult to get out of it and there’s really not anything that we can do. This is why we should really unite together and force legislation to protect cult victims, children of cult victims, and anyone that the cult targets. Include the use of technology to promote cult activity in the legislation. If adults willingly seek out the cult, then allow them to do as they wish. However, if children are born to cult members, then the children should be removed from the home for their protection. I bet if we could get legislation passed then we could actually have a fighting chance for our loved ones.
