Saying Nothing Is Best

i'm not using the death of a white supremacist to make kissy faces at fucking people who spent the last four years calling for the death of trans people.

also fucking glad i blocked gavin on bsky

He was often called a white supremecist in debates and always challenged people to tell him what he had ever said that reflected that, and no one ever had an answer. He was a lot of things, but I don't really think he was that. Do you have an answer? If he was, I would want to know, fuck racists.
- It depends on how you define "white supremacy". He definitely held the view that western (white) culture is superior to other cultures. He just also proclaimed that "racism is bad" at the same time, in order to pretend that he was making these points from a reasoned perspective.
- Charlie Kirk in his own words: ‘prowling Blacks’ and ‘the great replacement strategy’
- Idiot.

I got a better one

Woah hold up. That seems like too good of an idea for democrats
- Cause it is. They won't do it.

Any of Charlie's ideas that were tested through good-faith debate never survived. He and many others of his kind tend to avoid that kind of discussion.

Big "I was told there wouldn't be fact checking" energy.
Yeah, he was literally in the middle of blaming gun violence on trans people through pure intellectual dishonesty right before he died.
- As an atheist, I put it on the shelf of "maybe could be evidence of divine intervention". But of course then I'd have to ask where has he been all these other times?

Good faith debate made me laugh, the dude was literally in the middle of moving the goal posts when gukrackk

As a trans person, fuck Gavin newsom

You know he's baiting right? Or are you this dense. Everything he mentions is the opposite of what Kirk did.
- He was friends with Kirk and talked together on a podcast, at least once. It's not bait.

If the Democrats run this guy in 2028 the country is over.

Uh... it's already over. The Fascist Fuck sitting in the POTUS seat has already been trying to tell you this...
In any case, even in a non-rigged election, Newsom would get trashed just like Clinton.
- If we even get to vote in the mid terms it'll only be because the full roll out isn't done yet.
- Clinton barely lost, mostly because idiots proclaimed that there was no point in voting because the system was already beyond repair.
- it'll be over then
  it's over now, too. but it'll still be over then.
- ?
You don't get tongue in cheek humor, do you?
- Are you saying that Newsom is being sarcastic in the post?
- Newsom rizzed up Kirk before, as the kids would say.

Yeah, sure... the MAGAs are an excellent example of Good Faith Debate 🤦

Charlie Kirk, famously a good faith debater lol

What a fucking tool

Pretty funny if you read the tone as sarcastic.

Don't give him the Trump treatment and rationalize his words in a way that are more acceptable to you. Words in general, but especially from politicians, should be taken at face value without an obvious reason to do otherwise. Newsom gives no indication here that he means anything other than what he's literally saying.
- I know. I was joking. I forget sarcasm isn't clear from text.
Damn. If he followed internet convention with the /s, I would be rolling. But from what I know of him, I believe him to be sincere.

I laughed and assumed it was sarcastic.

Lol, it was. Everything he mentioned was the opposite of what Kirk did
- Yeah, he's dog whistling. Anyone tuning in who never heard of the guy sees the governer making a pretty stock response to an assassination of a political adversary. Anyone who knows what is going on knows it's tongue in cheek

"Continue his work"...

I almost hate liberals more than open fascists. At least they admit they want to kill you rather than just casually enabling it in the name of some twisted and perverse form of civility. Republicans want you in death camps, democrats want them to file the right paperwork first.

The key phrase being "in a democracy." Are you sure that's what you guys have?

The only time I'd "reach across the aisle" for fascist dipshits is to smash them in the face with a brick.

And there will still be people wanting to prop him up as presidential material

Somebody get this dip shit a history book.

Yeah keep talking while the pedos steal the supreme court, jerry rig elections, ignore the bill of rights, and steal your retirement. Keep talking and talking and talking. That will fix this, more talking. Or.....maybe......bash a fascist and when the next fascist comes along bash that Nazi too. The time for talking is over and all the neocons in government should get out of the fucking way.

Hey, Gavin, STFU.

Y’all gonna shit yourselves when he runs the table on the primaries.

You could organize now - maybe work out a name and some cool election swag? Or . . . Really any effort at all in promoting a person would be good. Lines are open, call now!

Lol, that was a subtle but scorching burn

Was it? Gavin had him on his podcast, I don’t think this was a dig. And while the lemmy jokes may be funny, I wouldn’t want any politician making light of any shooting. He should have just said nothing.

🥱
