      Does that mean you don’t believe in empathy?

      Sincerely believing in empathy as a guide doesn’t mean only when it’s convenient. Empathy isn’t supposed to be convenient.

      For clarification, I’m not claiming he deserves empathy.

        His daughter just turned 3, and his son is 16 months old. I don’t think they’re going to celebrate. But, they’re going to grow up hearing stories about how their father was a martyr who died heroically, trying to save the soul of the USA. Let’s just hope that as adults they’re able to see past that brainwashing and understand what a truly horrible person their father was.

          Depends on how involved their mother is in the crazy movement.

          At least one of the other Toiletpaper guys (Matt Walsh, or the change my mind guy maybe?) was treating his wife so badly that she left him and posted the surveillance videos of his dickhead behavior.

            Honestly, they’re all so interchangeable. I thought Charlie Kirk was the Change My Mind guy. It turns out that conservative white guys with big fat heads are a dime a dozen.

      Empathy for the other people attending that rally who had to see such a violent event. Some were there to cheer him on, so fuck them. But, others were there to try to debate him. It was dumb of them to play into his game and participate, but still, some will be leaving that event pretty traumatized.
