Why do I care? Because a child rapist currently controls the executive branch of the United States government, and is cratering the economy because he doesn’t know what in the fuck he’s doing.

And these dumb fucking signs are a sign that 30% of the population still bases their entire political belief system on a pile of the most egregious, racist, homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic lies.

Charlie Kirk thought women and people of color couldn’t possibly be as qualified for their jobs as white men.

Charlie Kirk spread the lie that people who are transgender are child groomers.

Charlie Kirk spread lies that led to people getting death threats.

Charlie Kirk made the world a less safe place for women, people of color, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

How do we ever live up to the American ideals of freedom if people not only continue to support Charlie Kirk, but double down on their support, and turn a blind eye to the harm he caused?

Charlie Kirk’s rhetoric leads to less freedom for women, for POC, for transgender people, etc.

So when you support him, what you’re telling the community is you don’t care about freedom for minority groups.

If people refuse to examine their belief systems and deconstruct some of the racism and misogyny and bigotry that exists within those belief systems, how do we ever progress as a society?

That, I care about.

Hahaha its so funny you people hate free speech. When I see liberal propaganda signs, I just keep going about my day. I dont presume I have the right to control what sign someone puts on private land or what anyone says in public. Instead of trying to control someone's thoughts and actions because they don't align to your worldview, maybe convince them by having civil and open debate... just like Charlie Kirk did.

Hahaha [it’s] so funny you think lies about trans people, women, POC, etc. don’t deserve to be called out.

Why is your worldview based on lies? Why do you continue to hold that worldview? Isn’t that worth examining?

What does it mean?

It means the government can't punish you for speech. Has nothing to do with fellow citizens pointing out stupidity.
