1.) Overwhelming majority of political violence is by right wing.

2.) About Kirk specifically, liberals signaled "murder is bad" hard and frequently. Meanwhile Kirk himself signaled hatred.

3.) Meanwhile, Trump, Vance and Hegseth are constantly signaling "murder is good actually, if we are doing it" and "bullying is manly thing to do".

And that is exactly why it is userful to distinguish between "good thing signal" and "bad thing signal".

-----------

Conservatives have the option to signal good things. They make different choice.

> About Kirk specifically

I notice that people are largely staying pretty quiet about the politics of the Kirk murder since shortly after it happened. I assume it is because, to the extent there is evidence of any ideology, groyper fits as well as leftist. Maybe better, even.
