Not One Tear Shed for Charlie Kirk [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Charlie Kirk’s rhetoric didn’t just amplify hate — it institutionalized it. He turned division into an industry, indoctrinating a generation with transphobia, racism, and weaponized Christian nationalism. His voice wasn’t simply part of the polarization of America; it was a megaphone for cruelty, wielded against women, queer people, and communities of color who paid the price of his crusade against equality.
He is my oppressor—as a woman, and as someone who loves people he sought to harm. Don’t you dare prop him up like some hate-fueled martyr, killed in the middle of his own propaganda.
It’s a near certainty that Charlie Kirk’s murder will get more empathy than a trans person who is brutalized and stripped of their life and dignity. That is the cruel structural imbalance of this society: who is mourned, and who is erased.
The worst part of all of this? His death could be the catalyst for future violence as his final act to cement his legacy of hate. That is all he ever unapologetically stood for—brandishing his white male privilege like a badge of impunity under the banners of patriarchy and religious extremism, the very mechanisms he used to codify oppression against those he viciously targeted.
Nope. Not one tear for this fucking creep.
