    Even his critique of the MAGA side could be applied to pretty much everyone:

    MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.

    I think everyone knew there’s political benefit to the shooter not being on “their side” and many people actively pointed to evidence that indicates he wasn’t. Kinda didn’t help that the shooter basically turned out to just be some dude with no obvious affiliation.

    It just so happens that there’s one political party that controls every aspect of the hill and who’s been clamoring to suppress dissent that make them an obvious stand-in for the subject of the joke when anyone else coulda been seamlessly slotted in.


    It’s infuriating that this is how we’re losing our freedom of speech. The most milquetoast, unprovoking recognition of the state of things. He didn’t even call the fascist Nazi president a fascist Nazi–just described him as being like a child and that was enough.
