“Basically Dot is saying if you disagree with her, you are a Nazi. This is where the problem lies, calling everyone who disagrees with you a Nazi is saying it’s ok to attack people who disagree with you” – Top comment on the Breitbart story “Virginia Gov Glenn Youngkin Calls for Resignation of School Board Member Who Praised Kirk Assassination,” posted Friday afternoon, the “Dot” referring to Chesterfield County School Board Chair Dot Heffron. “Call me old fashioned, but I remember when we used to be okay with shooting Nazis,” Heffron wrote in a Wednesday Instagram post.
That MAGA world is engaging in such utterly base hypocrisy after years of shrieking over “Orwellian” thought policing by the left is about as dog bites man as you can get these days. However, what’s been happening since Wednesday is so manifest and omnipresent that there’s no avoiding it, especially when the goddamned Secretary of Defense has ordered a purge of those who made any posts mocking the death of Charlie when he himself was removed from the Biden inaugural National Guard detail over his freaking white nationalist tattoo. That other white nationalist psychopath Laura Loomer, who famously handcuffed herself to pre-Musk Twitter’s headquarters for getting banned for racist shit has painted targets on at LEAST eight individuals, many of them federal government employees, who posted shit like “Half mast for the literal racist homophobe misogynist??” That stupid likely Klansman drawler Clay Higgins tweeted he’s “going to use Congressional authority and every influence with big tech platforms to mandate immediate ban for life of every post or commenter that belittled the assassination of Charlie Kirk” just under a year after he reminded reporters “we do have freedom of speech” in response to an uproar over a pretty racist tweet in which he called Haitian Americans pet eaters and “slapstick gangsters” who practice voodoo.
Once again, the hypocrisy isn’t some unintended side effect of maintaining their belief system so much as it’s pretty much their belief system itself. MAGA people suffered through years of leftist cancel culture and their self-awarded recompense is that they can simply say and do whatever the fuck they want without the barest pretense of consistency of their warped simulacrum of “principle.”
Charlie Kirk died for their sins and MAGAmerica must honor him by committing a lot more of them.
