I understand what you mean, and I agree with it, but shouldn't we at least
try to uphold the values of our country? What values did Kirk believe in and die for? I just don't want people who aren't wishing for our deaths to be attacked because they "weren't pure enough" or didn't say the correct things. There's a push amongst the internet right to exclude people because they aren't "their view of an American" (jew, black, asian, etc). But that doesn't disarm the leftist; it only proves them right. This might sound too naive, but we should be "more American" than they are. You know for the longest time, "the right" wasn't cool or was seen as oppressive because there was a tendency to excommunicate people who weren't their breed of trad (this was more of a thing up until the end of the Bush admin), we shouldn't allow ourselves to be that as a way to fight them. We should allow ourselves to be the ones seen as the org that promotes open and free dialogue. Ideas and rhetoric will go much farther than violence will in laying the groundwork for a better future.
NOW however, if the state fails to protect our god given rights and our social contract, well then, violence is the answer, but the fact that Trump and other people are going this
hard on the killer and his allies (and those who support him and call for more), shows me that the social construct is being enforced.
I don't like pagentry, it doesn't mean things are getting done
