When George Floyd died in 2020, American cities erupted in violence. 

The response of the cultural and political elite? They told us that rioting isn't only justified, but a necessary public health response in the midst of a pandemic in which they were otherwise telling people to stay home.

They ripped our social fabric apart so they could win the 2020 election. Billions of dollars of damage were done, people died, crime rates skyrocketed for years, our police departments emptied out because the Democrats made life for officers hell, and many departments had their budgets cut. Major cities are still down hundreds of officers. 

Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a radicalized Antifa supporter with a transgender partner, weeks after another transgender-related shooting, and what did Republicans do?

Held prayer vigils. 

Republicans in California held a vigil and invited the Democrats to join them in an attempt at reconciliation, and they said 'No."

By now, we have all seen countless videos of liberals celebrating Kirk's murder, and already, leftists are selling shirts with Kirk's image, spurting blood out of his neck. There is a product you can buy of the shirt Charlie was wearing as he was shot, stained with fake blood.

Doctors, nurses, lawyers, judges, and worst of all, teachers have been posting their LOLs at Charlie's death, and now there is a concerted campaign going to the very top of the Democrat elites claiming that this trantifa activist was really super-MAGA. It is a coordinated campaign, and part of the hoax-industrial complex. 

How do I know it was a coordinated effort? Simple: it all started at the same time yesterday. Suddenly, my feed on X was flooded with the same message. I got to watch the Narrative™ be created before my eyes in real time. The left saw the damage being done to them by their followers, erupting in joy, and tried to change the subject by inventing a hoax. 

Democrats in office are trying to distance themselves from some of the worst of this for strategic reasons, but the impulse is too ingrained, and they are all participants in the rhetoric that has led us to this point. 

Media figures are pulling Charlie Kirk quotes out of context--often attributing to him sentiments exactly the opposite of what he was saying. It is a variation of the "Fine People" hoax--slicing and dicing to get the snippet they want.

The contrast in reactions to a shocking event such as this is striking. Democrats riot and call for revenge. They take over our cities and burn parts of them down. Republicans pray together and stand resolved to stick to our principles. The left is anti-civilization, the right defends it. 

Simple, obvious, inescapable.
