Thanks for this. However, a major political figure in the conservative movement is murdered, and there is no violence, no riots. No one had to board up their businesses. Love him or hate him, Trump was nearly killed, twice. Some projection here?
Your comment pretends to insight. The matter of folks rioting is a constant in our history. Riots were once against Masons. Or against Catholics. Irish Catholics rioted in NYC against the draft in 1863. In the 1960s we have race riots and student protests that came close to being riots. I want to HS in Passaic NJ. A riot occurred in 1966 the ended just a block from our school. It was closed for Easter Vacation.
By the way, there were no riots against the shooting at Sandy Hook School. No riots after Melissa Hortman was murdered. No riots when Pelosi's husband was clubbed with a hammer.
No riots after an attempt was made on Gerald Ford. Twice.
So you have no point. We sometimes have riots.
Charlie Kirk was a community organizer for Maga. Had he lived till middle age, he would have been one more smarmy man pretending to be a Christian. He was a pharisee.
You are clearly someone who wants to be the hall monitor. So please go away.
But this is not derived from headlines but from living through a lot of it. So I was a teenagers when race riots ripped through Paterson and Newark - my father drove my sister to Newark Penn Station on the Saturday after the riots began. I was in college when Kent State happened. I also was someone who watched affirmative action begin - and make it harder for a white man like me to get an academic job.
If you disagree on something specific - please feel free to comment but otherwise... well you are not needed.
Fine review. I find it interesting that the right wingers have also welcomed to their penumbra a bevy of ultra conservative Roman Catholics who, apparently freed from their denigration in the Fifties (papist cult! swarthy Southern Italians!) have joined in on the hatred. Five of the six SCOTUS majority are practicing Catholics.

Lacking balance and sourcing. Also lacks any research deeper than popularly accepted historical headlines. Be more diligent.
