    This is a sad day. We all know this sprung from Charlie Kirk. A podcaster that got killed by a straight white male.

    So, it makes perfect sense to target trans people. Fuck these bastards.

      This was already in motion before the assassination. Kirk was literally in the process of claiming trans people are dangerous killers when he was murdered. The regime is just taking advantage of the assassination to accelerate a plan they were working on.

      I said this before tonight but Kirk was a piece of shit, but he wasn’t just a podcaster. He was hugely influential in getting younger folks to lean heavily right. Like… this might be the biggest political assassination in our lifetimes. I heavily recommend the latest episode of the TrueAnon podcast if you don’t believe me. They cover the extent of his his evil reach much better than I can.
