You know the Horstmans were shot to death.By a crazy man who claimed that Tim Friggin' Walz ordered him to do it. To say that's an example of "right wing violence" is dishonesty that I expect from the likes of ChatNPC.
https://www.spiked-online.com/2025/09/11/the-murde...Political violence is nothing new in America. But if Kirk was indeed killed for his views this is something almost darker. He wasn’t a politician, or an oligarch. He didn’t wield any power over anyone. He made arguments. He debated. He put his ideas out there, robustly but in good faith. His slogan was ‘prove me wrong’. Then a bullet ripped through his throat, as he finished a sentence.
Kirk’s killing feels like the grim capstone to more than a decade of hysteria masquerading as care, kindness and ‘social justice’. In which mere dissent was met with demonisation, protest, violence. In which campuses became an unsafe space for those who disagreed with woke orthodoxy. In which privileged kids demanded trigger warnings, before cackling at a man’s murder.And this is the thing. It's not allowable to disagree with certain elements of the left - you'll be branded as this or that and since "Speech is violence" you're now a target.
The intent is silence. Conservatives have dealt with this kind of social pressure for decades - it's not "fashionable" to say you voted for Trump. Or put a Romney sticker on your car. Whatever.
Again, look at the bullying and harassment on this very board as an example of social pressure.
