Here's the thing about assassins.....
In what's left of the mush that passes for their brains, they think they're making the world a better place....
All they accomplish is making the world an even more chaotic, dangerous and hellish place for all of us to live in.
While no one loathes the fascism of Trump and his acolytes more than we do, we hope and pray that Charlie Kirk's murderer swiftly meets his inevitable rendezvous with a lethal injection or a fully charged electric chair.
We mourn for Charlie Kirk's wife and children......with sympathy and with empathy, a human emotion that Charlie himself publicly mocked and derided.
Believe it or not, we mourn for Charlie Kirk too. We gag with nausea at all the beliefs and opinions he espoused to the young voters of his generation......but Charlie Kirk was an American and therefore entitled to speak his mind as much as any of us and live a full life with his family.
And most of all, we mourn for an infected, cancer-stricken America....
......stricken with the cancer of Trump and Trumpism.....a rapidly metastasizing cancer of hatred, cruelty, racism, intolerance and bottomless ignorance.
It's what brought us to where we are today....at each other's throats. It fueled Charlie Kirk's assassin in the same way it fueled January 6th terrorists who tried to impale police with American flags and lynch Mike Pence.
But that's the thing about assassins......
They alter history, but only for the worst.
God help us all.
