So yesterday was the 9/11 anniversary. There was also a school shooting on the same day this piece of human garbage was rightfully shot in the jugular. I read and scour the news every day and use Google News as an aggregator. So does my wife. You had to scroll down about 10-15 stories to even get to the school shooting, and I swear... I didn't see much coverage about 9/11 at all. Not like they usually do every year. But here we are with Charlie Kirk's stupid fucking face plastered everywhere as if he is someone to be admired. 9/11 and the aftermath of the war on terror DESTROYED this country. As far as I am concerned, the terrorists fucking won. All progress made up to that point began to faulter and collapse as the divisions between people beating the drums of war in that time and those that didn't want to necessarily go to war or a multifront full scale war grew further and further. That was the straw that broke the camel's back leading us to now, where a bigoted, misogynistic, homophobic, piece of shit like Charlie Kirk even makes the fucking headlines. What a fucking time to be alive.
Yeah, my goal now is to move on from this and act like it doesn't matter.
Just like Donald said about school shootings. "It's time to move on!"
to be fair 9/11 has had plenty of coverage over the past 24 years
