Yeah. Trying to explain to people how to counter the narrative the right wingers are actively using to manufacture concent for state violence against anyone to the left of Reagan.

It shows me that the liberal idiots saying "I'm glad he's dead. Woohoo! Let's go!" Aren't actually in the crosshairs of this fascist administration. The people actually out in the street with risk of getting arrested aren't putting targets on our backs anymore than they already are.

Like, what is the troll? Saying that it's better to literally just point to Kirk's literal racist garbage instead of feeling "powerful" because he's dead? What good is that doing beyond making you feel good?
