He makes a valid point.

I've seen some people point out Kirk was a normiecon GOP-bootlicker, and yeah, he was, but he's dead now. That makes it worse.

Many conservatives could excuse stuff like the BLM riots because they broadly agreed with the left about Floyd (muh racism), and the Jan 6th riot (they were "extreme"), and even taking a shot at Trump (he's extreme too).

But Kirk isn't extreme under any normie definition. So it does feel like it could have been any of us.

I've been saying for a long time the left's plan is to kill every conservative alive (it will backfire, but that's besides the point). Now more normies are realizing it too.
