Talk about not “ getting it” 

you talk as though people who don't this in the accepted way are spiteful or just plain wrong.

Charlie Kirk was very aligned with white republican Christians and that's OK. 

But it doesn't mean his views were correct or the most valid.

On religion

There is no separation of church and state. It’s a fabrication, it’s a fiction, it’s not in the constitution. It’s made up by secular humanists.

Well it has standards, which have made it what it is, so hence it sticks to.  Who did he have to blame for that?

Yes Kirk was very aligned with Christians, (I think he said himself that colour doesn't come into it though).  America through being a Christian country quickly became the greatest country in the world, Trump is 'making America great again' by bringing it back to the values which made it great in the first place, which they'd got away from during Biden presidency.  Popular? No not always.   Best for America? Yes it seems so, which is his job as president.

On race

If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, boy, I hope he’s qualified.

Financially? You mean slavery then. Built off the back of the African slave.

 

(We are not immune to this either - the port cities of the UK were the same - Liverpool, Portsmouth, Glasgow, Bristol...)

How hard is it to fact check

something before posting? This snippet has been clipped from a debate he was having about affirmative action - in short he just hopes the pilots qualified and hasn’t been given the job based on his colour. Context is everything but at least we now know you probably blindly peddle drivel daily.

No obviously not, I don't think bringing back slavery has ever been suggested or condoned.

oh ok - so according to the late great tiktok star - we should be worried blacks in responsible positions (like pilots) aren't just there as a diversity hire

It's interesting to read how the same rules don't apply to both sides (in the view of the current administration), with regards to the appropriate responses in the wake of "political violence".  

"Trump responded by making repeated jokes at Paul Pelosi’s expense."

and how despite Trump's obsession with "radical left violence": 

"all extremist-related killings in the US in 2024 were connected to rightwing extremism, just as they were in 2023 and in 2022"

In their humane responses to the killing of Charlie Kirk, Democrats are observing the old norms. Things are different...

If ANTIFA and BLM are taken into account,I would say the majority of political violence comes from the left.
