    Wasn’t the kid who shot him a groyper from a maga family? Not sure what liberals had to do with alt right radicalizing kids and losing control of a culture war they started degrading to a political civil war.

      No

      The only reason this idea was ever advanced was wishful thinking by people who wanted to have their cake and eat it too. People who wanted to be glad Kirk is gone without the ‘guilt’ of acknowledging that political violence can be a force for good.

      This was immediately obvious to anybody who wasn’t actively wishing they could wash their hands of it politically. ‘Oh he dressed up as a gopnik for halloween once, and I found this pepe version of a gopnik, pepe is a groyper meme therefore he must be a groyper’

      See you’re actually caring about facts and truth.

      What matters to these people is that Kirk was conservative, therefore by default anything bad that happened to him was the fault of the evil Democrats. No further questions necessary.
