Donald I, emperor of the world.

As I understand it Memphis will be the next city to be cleaned up like Washington DC.

So he neither said, nor meant, any one of those things.
OK.

Let's be fair. Andy is quite right that Charlie Kirk is not shouting "Chink" at at audience member, he is shouting "Chenk" at his co-panelist. It's a misattribution. Everything else is entirely accurate though.

For fun - take a look at his Cambridge University Debate when they open the floor. They start with a young Muslim student. He speaks to her like she is shoot on his shoe. His hatred is quite obvious.

Probably the adversarial attitude of the occasion.

Project 'artic frost' conducted by the FBI where by partisan FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors would target Republican supporters and outlets.

Hatred? That wasn't my impression at all. He was, however, clearly annoyed, with good reason.

When people with limited imagination stop thinking of lefties and righties as two amorphous but nevertheless diametrically opposed groups there might be a chance.

A recent survey found that people rarely cross the line. This is a complex graph, but informative. The two 'blocs' indicate that people who change their voting intentions largely stay within those boundaries.

Gammons & binburners not realising they're on exactly the same team? And I thought the left were meant to be the fractious infighters!

Speaking of which - isn't it interesting to see a broad consensus of approval within all the left / used-to-be-left / fractionally-left-of-centre parties for the Greens?

And doesn't that make you wish we had a democratic & representative voting system!

Agreed. I don't expect you'll convince some of the people who've decided to hate him because they don't like his politics though.

I think it's objectively preferable to hate a person because of their politics than to hate people simply for existing.

Which is what Charlie Kirk did.

We obviously have a very different interpretation of what we saw in the clip. It doesn't matter how though. Somebody shot him in the neck.

He was correct in that clip, and he didn't deserve to be shot in the neck in front of his family.
That doesn't mean the rest can be forgotten though. Quicker we move on the better imo.

Can't imagine the anguish this father or his family are going through. But he still does the right thing

I think that's a good idea.

Imo electoral behaviour reflects the electoral system. Punch and Judy.

I have more sympathy for our politicians than some.
