My article yesterday on the reaction to the Charlie Kirk assassination has been getting a lot of attention. Gained and lost many subscribers. I will say one thing that annoys me is people saying that it’s in bad taste to make such arguments so soon after he was killed. Trump and Elon Musk are out there placing blame on half the country for what happened, and conservative influencers are calling for mass arrests and war on the left. They don’t even wait to see who the shooter was before doing this, and unlike them my opinion doesn’t depend on that individual’s identity. The idea that I can’t argue against them is ridiculous and would cede the floor to the craziest people in public life. Moreover, this administration has shown that it is prone toward abusing its power, and we need to be worried about what they might do in response to this tragedy.
