Stoking hatred and polarizing views because they're only sharing in the company of people with the same or similar views.
The proclivity for violence isn't restricted to one group or the other. It's a result of a loss of civility, partly borne out of the ruthless culture that the internet has bred, wedged further by COVID and the division that sowed in the US. And now stoked by a dictatorship-aspiring President.
I think the "sheeple" are those that don't recognize that this is what's happening on a broader scale cause they're too eyeballs deep in whatever their camp's latest finger-pointing rhetoric is.
Think. For. Yourself.
You don't need religion as your basis to align with strong moral ideals either.

Well said.
I think Kirk's political views were abhorrent and I get that his recent statements on shootings & 2nd amendment rights were very FAFO in hindsight. But I can't see this as a reason to celebrate, this will only lead to further political violence.
