I see Nuremburg rallies are popular again

Trump hates his enemies and wishes them harm.

How galling for the Left that Trump is adopting their ideas! :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh stop. Disagreeing with the right is enough to get you branded, leftie, leftwing, leotard etc. These are people, especially in Britain, who 5 years ago would have admitted to not knowing what left and right was in mainstream politics. Charlie Kirk died twelve days ago. What is happening now is not grieving or mourning. It’s mass hysteria which right wing leaders are channeling into something more sinister.

Don’t you miss the days when all we worried about was the depth of Trump’s narcissism?

Your analysis of that poll is very selective.

Even among the very liberal, the share who say it’s unacceptable to feel joy about the deaths of political opponents outnumbers those who say it’s acceptable by a ratio of more than 2 to 1 (56% vs. 24%).

It’s a minority of a minority. And it’s not the left who are rounding up people who are legitimately resident in America and putting them in jail or deporting them without trial, nor sacking judges for handing down legally-based decisions that the administration disagrees with, nor firing US attorneys for failing to dig up dirt on their political opponents (Letitia James case) nor calling for political opponents to be deprived of their citizenship (Rosie O’Donnell) etc etc.

And if you want to know who is mainly carrying out assassinations and mass shootings, look at this very clear graph:

Bloody hell, just when did anyone with even a slight social conscience become, lefties, to be derided and sneered at by those without any kind of decent morals?

For me, it was 2016 when, as a Repubican my 2 choices in the Republican primary were Trump and Ted Cruz. That was when I officially became a Democrat, because the Republicans were just nuts. The Republican party left me.

If I’m a ‘liberal’because I think the US should have universal healthcare like the rest of the developed world and some semblance of subsidized university (the way it was back in the ‘70s when I attended), then Iguess that’s when I joined the ‘radical left’’.

If I were to vote in France, I would probably be a Republicaine because France already meets those criteria.

This might just wake up all those leaders who have been licking his behind to date.

It is about time for people to state the truth that Trump is deranged.

You have no idea of where ‘the right ‘and ‘the left’are in the US. Especially if you let Trump define it for you.

Well, the funeral wasn’t at Nuremburg either :wink:

They have their martyr

Didn’t he get stabbed because the upstairs neighbours of one of his “ladies of negotiable virtue” were worried her antics were going to get them thrown out of their council house?

I think I’ll have a chapter on him in my new book “All Your Heroes Are/Were S***bags In Real Life”.

It’s fascinating watching the masks come fully off. “Reasonable concerns" and “debating the issues” while appearing to be reasonable on the surface are no longer necessary to hide behind.

Well, I could never see Trump as a debater!

That’s cruel and disrespectful. If my friend had been murdered 12 days ago, I would still be grieving, and you would be too.

Don’t let politics take away your humanity, because otherwise any leader could channel your feelings

People don’t “grieve” by holding mass political rallies, O Great Respected Caledonian Breakfast Cereal.

And Trump doesn’t have any “friends” he has people that he exploits and then discards.

I think there were two aspects to the event. One was a sincere celebration of the life of Kirk.

The other was inescapably political, and MAGA took it over and used it for their own ends. There was probably a bit of blurring for some people, because of Kirk’s support of Trump and the Republicans and how effective he was in winning people to that cause.

Yes, difficult to comment suitably as a result but the whole thing did prompt me to revisit the whole Horst Wessel link suppied by @billybutcher , it certainly does seem to have been hi-jacked and I wonder what the widow really thinks of it back at home in the quiet. I am not a Christian, and thus in similar circumstances would not feel duty bound to be forgiving, but it seems to me that her pronouncement does her credit in sharp contrast to the tone of the event.

Again, stop! I think you knew I meant outside the natural and expected grief of family and friends. I’m sure most reasonable people would, for heaven’s sake. Or at least would have asked the question.

And as for something more sinister, we’ve both just read Billybutcher’s post on yet another Nazi parallel.

If you believe that, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
