        Or someone so far down the rabbit hole that they believe the only way to get to “the next step” is to get it done themselves.

            It’s certainly possible, but so far the seemingly likely left motivated violence turns out to be right wing or just completely unhinged insanity.

            Before they concretely held actual power, the far right might have glossed over their differences, but now that they have actual power, the unhinged people they were tapping into are turning on them for various reasons. Turns out extremism is not conducive to a long term stable movement.

        It could be that the shooter was aiming at someone else entirely, but the bullet just got trapped by the gravitational field of Charlie Kirk’s head. Not only was it huge, but it was incredibly dense.

      He’s right. Could be human decency, could be that Kirk wasn’t evil enough, could be that the Andromedans made some good points
