but as removing people who changed America from their image of 1950 style greatness looking through the lens of white male perspective. Before most of the civil rights, women rights and gay rights were fought for.
What is startling is how quickly and how completely they both glorified Kirk and socialized how he had to be honored EVEN BY PEOPLE HE SAID DISGUSTING, INAPPROPRIATE THINGS ABOUT.
They never credited that almost all Democratic figures had statements that were strongly against the violence that took his life and calls for civility. They lowered the flag to half mast, something they did not do for the Minnesota legislator who was murdered with her husband. They celebrated his life in the capitol.
I was stunned when MSNBC on the Katy Tur show had on a woman who covered the RW for them. I don't know the name, but she has nearly white blond hair, She said that Kirk was the most influential Republican other than Trump. The funny thing is that in death, he might be becoming that, which he probably wasn't before death.
Utah Governor Cox soon after the murder said he hoped it wasn't one of them. By any measure, Robinson was one of them, born and bred in Utah, part of the gun culture, and apparently close enough to his conservative, Mormon family that they succeeded in turning himself in.
At least one person in his family said he had a leftish ideology. However, he NEVER voted, no one has described a protest he went to and no one produced any political social media comments. Of Kirk, he spoke just of the hate he spread. Other than his relationship to LBGTQ+ issues, nothing I've read suggests he had any connection to the left.
It seems that Trump and his allies define anyone who is against them on anything as the radical left. Yet, the gun culture he grew up in may have been the the cultural influence most to blame.
