Charlie Kirk was killed for his beliefs and to intimidate anyone who have those same beliefs

At this point, we can just declare liberals a terrorist organization

pretty much... yeah

I share your sympathy over Kirk, a family man/father, and husband, ripped from the arms of his loved ones was in no way shape or form acceptable, he deserved the freedom to exercise his first amendment right to openly debate people.

But this is the point where things can spiral into chaos and disorder, and we are doomed to repeat history's merciless cycles. When specific groups of people are targeted by words of a person who has a huge following, they're going to typically build discontent with that person. It is not illegal for people to speak about what they believe in, that's a right every American has, but it almost gives more reason for people to grow a disliking of someone that has associated their group in negative connotations. It can happen to anyone.

It's especially a poor judgement to cast this assumption that all democrats support this behavior, many left-leaning leaders had expressed their condolences to the Kirks, but it is a shame that a cycle of hatred will continue to rotate. Nonetheless, from a left-leaning perspective, people targeted by the rhetoric of Kirk's words are devaluing the purpose of ending gun violence, especially political violence.

It hurts that people cannot find common ground to end this hatred both sides have for one another because it has caused people to react violently (Kirk's assassin, Malissa Hortman's assassin, etc). We cannot get things done by hating the other half of the country, after all, it really cancels out and no progress is being made, allowing for more gun violence taking the lives of people like Kirk. Please, my fellow left and right leaning Americans, the very thing that delays decisions that can save lives is our own animosity. We are to be united, not divisive. I understand some of you may disagree with what I propose, but other than finding common ground, what other decision benefits everyone in the country?

(NOTE: I believe Americans can exercise the 2nd Amendment, but limitations must be in order to prevent someone like a family man such as Charlie Kirk, being murdered by an individual that cannot express their opinions in a civil manner)

In Abraham Lincoln's own words: "A house divided against itself cannot stand"

(If you have read this from the top to here, I sincerely thank you for sparing your time to understand where I'm coming from)

There are no excuses for those who have their feeling hurt.... so they have to resort to violence...

Yep, and civil debates and exercising the first amendment is much preferred, it's disgusting and utterly sad that political violence happens.

But it's not quite exactly that just their feelings are being hurt, the people on the other side almost had reason to hate back, yet said reason should not warrant death, it was merely the causality of hate fostering hate on the other side.

It would make sense, however, that people would take offense to what is said against them, but the groups that are (in this case) more associated with the Democratic Party have had history with the same things said about them today, but were much more severe and these groups had faced heavier oppression. The fears and judgements of what those groups had formed during those times will carry down because they fear the upcoming generations will carry the discontent that had been passed down by their oppressors.

I do not want to come off saying either side was good/bad or justified, that would prove myself as someone with poor judgement---I'm trying to provide insight and a possible answer as to why these people's "feelings" would be hurt in the first place.

But yes, under no circumstances should a person ever resort to violence. Political disagreements never exempts someone to commit a horrible crime that strips the life of a person. It ruins all families and their loved ones and will only add more hatred and from all sides and delay solutions that can prevent similar tragedies from happening.

Hatred will reveal itself more and more through more and bloodier tragedies of American people, both left and right.

Yeah... a lot of people are leaving the democrats over this...

It's just a really confusing and weird time to be in :\

I just feel like Trump's not bridging the gap between democrats and republicans, and I wish people could see each other as human beings rather than the political entities they associate themselves with.

But I'm glad we can be honest about what we say as America is a free country

Democrats may have ended themselves with this assassination. No sane person wants any part of the democrat party.

Alright, so be it
If Americans keep polarizing another Americans, then I think everyone in this country should give up on this experiment that we call America that has been going on for more than 200 years because at this rate, we're as good as dead.

People/U.S citizens will always have a belief in why they align with democratic or republican parties---whether a person understands it or not, they have their reasons.
No side is insane.

We are a force of indomitable power when we UNITE, we will only collapse as a society if we cannot find common ground. When a side claims the other side is tearing the flesh of liberty from the body of this nation, they will grab it towards them until both sides are in a struggle, not realizing they both are slowly killing the very thing they are fighting for, only for their own benefit.

Republicans and Democrats are doing an equally awful job because we have forgotten that we are meant to be united people and focus on dividing into their own states. The thing WE ought to do is control the animosity towards one another and come to common ground/compromises. After all, compromises had critically helped giving life to this nation for it to come alive.

A lot of this started when Trump declared his candidacy back in 2015... Ever since, it's been one big hate campaign by the liberal media. I blame them. Everyone talks about turning down the temperature... This will never get any better until they own it and those responsible for it are held accountable... Until then, they won't stop.

Observing hatred on both sides is not a politically driven campaign, it is simply piecing perspectives and the
If you cannot try to see where they are coming from (yet of course you can still disagree with them) you're no better than the thing you hate.
Scapegoating an opportunity to unite caused by a group you despise only reveals further hatred and resentment Americans have towards one another. It goes for both sides, not all republicans want every person in the country to have a gun to shoot people, the only people who (on both sides) would do something similar are the outliers of a party, not the entirety itself.
