I don't like generalizing and blaming "the left" or "dems" for things a small percentage of them do. Not ALL non-republicans are extreme. Just like it's wrong for them to hate all republicans or consider all of us a bunch of hateful bigots. I'm a conservative Christian so I'm against alot of things other people believe in, but segregating and fueling hate for "the other side" is wrong in my opinion.

Maybe not all but most.

YouGov Poll from after the shooting: Do you generally consider it to be acceptable or unacceptable for a person to be happy about the death of a public figure they oppose? Rep: 77% always unacceptable. Dem: 38% always unacceptable.

Earlier this year NCRI released this poll: Justification for the murder of Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Murder of Elon is partially justified or more; Left of center: 50%. Right of center: 14%. Murder of Trump is partially justified or more; Left of center: 56%. Right of center: 26%.

Recognizing what the issue is, is not hating people. It’s the truth. Your eyes aren’t lying to you. We have thousands of videos on social media glorifying violence on the left with tens of thousands of likes. Acknowledging this issue does not justify violence from the right, it acknowledges a serious problem that is factually a particularly left-leaning problem.

The difference is, while both sides do wrong. Only one side has the extremism to cheer it on

Really, surf around here and see how many comments there are right now about Charlie Kirk being dead is good, it’s obvious. While you’re at it, look for Luigi memes

u/Zuhena Sep 15 '25

If we go by your genralizations: One side has extremism, and the other side has no empathy. Both sides use martyrs, and both sides blame each other for assassinations if they fit a certain side's criteria.

Can we stop generalizing now?

u/Top-Cauliflower-2881 Sep 15 '25

Not even REMOTELY CLOSE. They literally almost killed our president too remember? That party is fckn nuts. Thats why they're tanking and have been.

u/Zuhena Sep 15 '25

Who is they?

"They" was 1 shooter and the mocking came from radical leftists and people who are absolutely filth. Do you think this only happens with leftists?

This is always going to get brought up, but following the Minnesota lawmakers deaths, instead of praying or wishing ease for their families, a republican senator wrote "this is what happens when a Marxist doesn't get their way" and tried to make this a time to rile up the right. You can see sources of this on the Wikipedia article about Melissa and Mark along with the tagged information.

We ALL have people who are nuts on BOTH SIDES. A spectrum does not end where you want it. We have radical leftists and radical righties on both sides.

This is exactly what I was saying! 👏

u/Tater72 Sep 15 '25

Minnesota lawmakers was wrong and that person should be punished, I said it then, I said it when Trump was shot

You sound like a spoiled child with, “Ya, but someone on this side was shot.” It’s wrong, that’s wrong and two wrongs don’t equal a right!!!!

And, I saw many conservative people saying the Minnesota thing was wrong. Surf around here and look at the huge volume of people saying Kirk was a nazi or fascist and he earned it. This is the very hate speech they accuse him of 🤦🏻‍♂️

u/Zuhena Sep 15 '25

? I think you didn't read? I'm agreeing with what you're saying? Maybe you responded to the wrong person?

I'm saying both sides are trash and the generalizations need to stop. Im agreeing with you that Republicans DID call it out, but like with Kirk, that is being overshadowed by people who were silent and/or acting like the radical lefts are now by celebrating or making disparaging comments. No party is responsible for the actions of one radical asshole who decided their butthurt feelings mattered more than malleable thoughts and ideas.

u/Tater72 Sep 15 '25

Absolutely agree, it’s not a whole party thing on either side, both have their extremes

u/Top-Cauliflower-2881 Sep 15 '25

You say ONE SENATOR said and I'm sorry butThe Left assassinated a prominent figure and also tried killing our President. It's not on the same level. The whole internet is full of, even whole ass websites almost dedicated to, praising the assassination of Charlie. Also many "news" anchors/outlets from the left SUGGESTED Charlie deserved it. You say "both sides" and it's BS. On one side you have active millions of examples and a history of political violence that killed PROMINENT FIGURES while the other side is spotty here and there and one senator said something bad.

You're trying to suggest it's the "same" and it's not even fucking REMOTELY CLOSE to the same thing. The right "has some radicals" while the left is basically the mascot for radicals and political violence. It's like saying the "Summer of love" with George Floyd (who was a terrible person BTW) is the same as January 6th. One was one event, the other was HUNDREDS of events for a whole Summer and the VP told them to keep going and "they shouldn't stop". Meanwhile, Trump said go "be heard but peacefully protest".

I'm tired of the BS false equations. Because it's total BS and only the radical left doesn't see it. But they refuse to see anything they don't like and literally advocate FOR political violence. Floyd shouldn't have had happen to him what happened (bad person or not) and the cops we're wrong for that and held accountable. The left didn't need to burn towns to the ground and attack people and it's leaders DEFINITELY didn't need to egg it on. But they ABSOLUTELY DID without hesitation or remorse. In fact THEY WERE PROUD.

u/Tater72 Sep 16 '25

Fair enough, but we don’t need to do the same. Yes, there’s wrong but you don’t need to crawl into the cesspool with them.

We're you under the impression I was advocating killing someone? What are you talking about? I'm literally just explaining what I see as facts of what they're doing. How am I in any way "crawling into the cesspool with them?"

This isn't a Republican sub it's Democrats posing as Republicans all up in here. Like we can't see the obvious BS. The left is so fckn nuts that you can't even be a member of your own towns sub if they see ANYTHING REMOTELY CLOSE to anything "Right". You'll get perma banned. In a fckn Polaroid sub! A sub about birds, anything. They're fckn nuts and radical AF and shooting people in the head. Stop pretending it's not what it OBVIOUSLY IS. Everybody but you nut jobs see it! That's why literally not even a SINGLE SWING STATE wanted your BS to represent them. And you know what? I don't see you radical nut job party winning anything relevant for probably a decade. Remember when Hillary said deport the illegals and make the ones allowed to stay learn English? What was that? 12 years ago? Now they wanna hide gang members JUST BECAUSE they're illegal immigrants. 🤪

u/Zuhena Sep 15 '25

So tell me how the ten posts you see scrolling through Reddit = the opinion of 44.1million democrats of the US. Go ahead make that case. The debater for Kirk at the time of his assassination was a math major and was trying to debate on something similar to this with the generalizations of Trans shooters.

Democrats are like 25%, Republicans are like 25%. The overwhelming majority are swing voters

u/ToMissTheMarc2 Sep 15 '25

I mean to be fair, if that were true, we would have major swing elections like during the Reagan years. Half the country votes Democrat and the other half votes Republican. Since 2000, we've seen the swings have not been that big.... The largest being a nearly 10 point swing in 2008 from 2004. If you mean registered, well that's a different story... Not everyone votes in the primaries...

Yeah, Dems are condemning this shit. We all need to come together and blame the far left and right, but that starts with the president.

u/FormPrestigious8875 Sep 15 '25

You have to recognize that this is only coming from their party. You don’t have trans shooters in the Republican Party. You don’t have political assassinations or assassination attempts from the Republican Party. This is a specifically Democrat party issue. Leading Democrat members have been calling for violence against Republican leaders at their rallies and events for the last 10 years. Kamala Harris was bailing people out of jail for rioting while she was campaigning for president. It’s disingenuous to equivocate the Democrats and the Republicans on this issue.

u/Art_Crime Sep 15 '25

You do have assassinations from the far right. I'm at work rn, but you can look up tbe figures. The majority of demostic terrorists are far right extremists.

We don't know if Kirk's shooter was trans just because we have a bullet casing that says nice bulge. Similarly, you don't know if the shooter was a dem.as they could have been a communist.

If you go on /r/enoughcommiespam you will see libs saying this is bad. Go to any commie sub and you'll see they support it. Communists are not dems.

Which leading dems have called for violence? Didn't AOC even decry the shooting?

u/FormPrestigious8875 Sep 15 '25

We also have this polling data YouGov Poll from after the shooting: Do you generally consider it to be acceptable or unacceptable for a person to be happy about the death of a public figure they oppose? Rep: 77% always unacceptable. Dem: 38% always unacceptable.

Earlier this year NCRI released this poll: Justification for the murder of Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Murder of Elon is partially justified or more; Left of center: 50%. Right of center: 14%. Murder of Trump is partially justified or more; Left of center: 56%. Right of center: 26%.

There is a distinct lean towards violence in the democrat party that is particularly worse than republicans.

u/FormPrestigious8875 Sep 15 '25

Because AOC decried the shooting, the entire party not supportive of violence?

Notices bulge, a reference to a meme popular amongst online trans furry communities and was engraved in the bullet. The roommate who was trans was in a relationship with the shooter. While, it hasn’t been confirmed, there is strong evidence and support of the idea that the shooter assassinated Kirk in part due to his affiliation with the trans community. To disregard these points with no logic or a counter argument shows nothing else, but a bias against the evidence.

If I go on TikTok I will see democrats saying this is good.

I’m not going to spend an hour listing every single instance a Democrat has encouraged violence. Biden has, Pelosi has, Schumer has, there are countless. They didn’t specifically support this action, that’s not my point, the point is their strong rhetoric without regard for consequences, and no accountability from most media outlets.

u/Art_Crime Sep 16 '25

because AOC

AOC is the most left of the party name, name one mainstream Democrat who has said Charlie Kirk's death is a good thing.

Notices bulge

Notices bulge is a meme. This is not good evidence they're a furry or a trans person. What is the strong evidence then? I'm not biased against the evidence... You have not given any.

Tiktok

If you go on TikTok? That's your source? Random TikTok commies and children are not indicative of the whole party

Biden has... Pelosi has... Schumer has...

If it's countless give me one article where they support political violence.

To double back, Trump is our president and our president should condemn all the violence.

I'm not hating the president, I'm saying he needs to step up and condemn the violence from both sides. A few months ago a democrat state representative was murdered. This isn't a one-sided problem.

I'm also a conservative not a democrat.

u/Arkansan_Rebel_9919 Sep 14 '25

Where was the condemnation of both sides when Biden spewed out that Trump supporters and MAGA were nazis at the Lincoln Memorial speech? They've, both democrats and leftists, enabled this shit.

12

u/Art_Crime Sep 14 '25

Yeah that's terrible, but Trump claimed the shooter was a leftist before we even knew who he was. Do you sincerely think just because Biden did it, is it okay for Trump to do it too?

I can't find the exact speech you're referring to, but in a separate speech he was condemning Trump for calling people vermin and saying immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country.

Which is the exact rhetoric presidents should avoid because it is so divisive.

u/LadiesLoveCoolDane EDIT THIS Sep 14 '25

When I see “yeah but x did y” their point is irrelevant. Be the change you want to see. Call out the people that need to have their eyes opened and do it in a respectful way. If someone sits in front of you with a completely valid point but they’re being shits about it their comments won’t be palatable and eventually it will be disregarded or received with a negative connotation.

Just take stereotypical Christians for example. Screaming in your face you’re going to hell for not accepting Jesus Christ as your lord and savior. No one wants that. Now if someone just approached with loving intentions it may well be received. At least there’s a much higher possibility than just shooting yourself in the foot.

u/Art_Crime Sep 14 '25

Yeah, and I 100% agree with that. For Biden, it would have been nice if he persisted in trying to lower the temperature. However, we now live under the Trump Admin. We should desire that now Trump would try to be the peacemaker bc he's the president.

Just the clarify for anyone reading this, I'm not trying to shit on Trump. I just expect that he should act like a president and call all violence bad as opposed to trying to peg the violence on one group.

u/Arkansan_Rebel_9919 Sep 14 '25

What planet are you livin' on? The democrats and leftists have ignored EVERY order Trump has published. Trump won't calm them down, because they've been brainwashed! Only their leaders can do that, and they won't. They had a full cycle to tone the shit back, and they refused.

They put people in prison for Inauguration Day 2020, voted on imprisonin' soldiers for refusin' the COVID vaccine, and got people fired from their jobs for the SAME REASON. They've only now "ApOlOgIzEd" now that a death is in their hands, after rampin' up hate for this long. It is a diametrically opposed belief system to conservatives, and there is nothin' but hostility between the two. Is this an extreme stance? Yes. Is it justified, fuck yes. My wife was kicked out of her home when I was in the military because she'd not get the vax. I was kicked out of the military for it as well. FUCK'EM ALL, and they get every LAST bit of what they have comin' to them.

ADDENDUM:

Now, they CONTINUE with the rhetoric, and bullshit, that got Charlie killed to begin with. They don't DESERVE PEACE. They deserve EXACTLY what they'd given us for the past ten fuckin' years. It won't stop, because they lack introspection. They LITERALLY WANT TO SEE YOU DEAD, AND WILL CHEER.

u/Arkansan_Rebel_9919 Sep 14 '25

Who else could the shooter have even been?! THEY'VE CALLED FOR OUR DEATHS FOR YEARS. It's EVERYTIME that someone on the right get's attacked, it's some mother fucker who diddle kids and chops their dicks off, or a twig boy fuckin' a trannie. No, I don't think it is right/ok. But, it's NEEDED. These "people" have spent years bleedin' us dry with their marxist bullshit, and we are all the worse off for it.

2

u/Art_Crime Sep 14 '25

>Who else could the shooter have even been?!

Well, fair question, but there are people further to the right of us who want us all dead. The stats of "more far-right violence" afaik are not normal Republicans or Conservatives. Thomas Crooks' politics are unknown and we don't even know if the attempt was politically motivated. All we knew at the time was he registered Republican and he donated to some Progressive org when he was a teenager. Then after some time the FBI released a profile potentially linked to him that showed he was some deranged right wingnut.

Some people kill people for fame, attention, or because they want to been in the books. Some people have sicker reasons for murder too.
