    We don’t listen to Nazis who demand the elimination of our families and friends. Is that too “hot” for you Erika? Here’s the secret: when you act like a Nazi you get treated as one.

    My family and friends didn’t demand your elimination, only their right to be be who they are and you turned around trying to destroy them. We’re just matching your vibe.

      It’s like a thermostat, the left is going around naked biking because it’s too hot, and the right is in their parka just realizing it’s a bit warm for them, too.

      They don’t want the temperature to be cool, just cool enough that their side is comfortable again.

        They want to say and do anything they want.

        It’s human variation, some people will keep taking until there are consequences. As soon as there is consequences, they want to take a step back to where there was no consequences. But they’ll always take another step forward eventually.

        We can’t tolerate the intolerant, because they’ll always see being tolerated as an attack and persecution, they won’t be happy till everyone agrees with them, and by then they’ll be more extreme than anyone else and the cycle keeps moving.

          True. We can’t let them just dance over the line, that wears away the line

          If they cross the line at all, they’ve broken the social contract. They are no longer protected by it, no longer entitled to tolerance or respect. They don’t deserve to go about their lives unmolested or get invited to family dinner

          It’s like, basic civilization type shit. The problem is we’ve confused what is legal with what is acceptable as a society

    Attacking basic rights, stealing everything that isn’t nailed down, and having masked, armed goons running amok in the cities is all just fine by them, but if anyone fights back, it’s raising the political temperature.

    She could help by leaving the political scene and never returning.

    Says the woman who’s husband made a job of arguing with people. Fully agree but, look in the mirror. Democrats have tried for YEEEEEEAAAAARS to work with the GOP only to continually be taken advantage of, look where it’s got us. We gave you literally everything and you still want more, terrible people.

    Weiss reiterated a question to [Erika] Kirk about whether political leaders are responsible for turning “the temperature down right now.”

    “Well, I think everyone has a responsibility to do that and I’m doing my part,” [Erika] Kirk answered.

    See, I’d have an easier time believing that if she hadn’t vowed to continue Charlie Kirk’s “legacy” and said:

    “If you thought that my husband’s mission was powerful before, you have no idea,” she continued. “You have no idea what you just have unleashed across this entire country and this world. You have no idea. You have no idea the fire that you have ignited within this wife. The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry.” source
