This was my reaction.
To be fair, I'm pretty sure they're basing 100% of their analysis on his public appearances, which is likely when he's at his best. He's either following a script or he's been coached on what to say immediately prior to going in front of a camera.
In any case, America is cooked. He's not going to step down, and there's still a nontrivial amount of support for him to be installed as grand pubah.
I generally hate people. I don't want to be authoritative over anyone. I don't want the responsibility.
Weird. I spend a nontrivial amount of time on Twitch and I don't see that at all.
It's the same group that coopted the punisher logo?
Those guys are assholes.
Oh, right, they're cool.
Along with humble bundle. Those guys are cool too.
Potato, potato.
Nope. I need not learn anything.
Though. It is valuable to note that I'm not complaining about down votes. I only mentioned that I noticed it. It is a statement of fact. Nothing more.
I've said it before, I'll say it again. I only feel bad for the kids.
They didn't choose their father. They didn't choose to be born. They will 100% at some point, see up close and personal footage of their father being killed in broad daylight, in full color, digitally perfect quality, preserved by the Internet, forever.
They will see that footage someday, if not already.
That's why I feel for those kids. I feel bad for them in spite of what their father said or believed. Specifically to spite him, I will feel sympathy for his kids.
His wife can get fucked. She volunteered for this. She knew what she was getting into, she knew the man that she married, and not only married him, but stayed married to him through all of this dumb, insane, and toxic shit that he was spewing.
She had a fucking choice and she chose to stay where she was. The only way my opinion on that could change is if her husband was an abuser. I have no doubt that he could have been, right now there's no allegations of that. If she's the victim of domestic abuse, then leaving would not have been as straight forward as it might seem.
In all other circumstances, she can get wrecked for standing by him while he said and did what he said and did.
I have zero empathy or sympathy for the man himself. Guy was toxic, and he was shot and killed by someone equally, or more toxic. One goes in the ground, one goes in a cell. Both are out of our society, hopefully forever. Fuck both of them.
The more I see about Kirk, or his killer, the more I fucking hate both of them.
I still feel bad for those kids.
Yeah. I figured as much. There's still a lot of lurkers on Lemmy, and I assume that at least some of them have seen the comments and agreed at some extent.
Though, someone seems to be down voting comments around here. I dunno, I'm just some dude.
I've noticed a lot more down votes lately and I have no idea why. I still couldn't give any less of a shit if I'm down voted or not, it's just an interesting trend for my brain to look at.
Have a good day friend.
The whole thing reminds me of many AITA threads that were clearly terrible people trying to justify their behavior against other terrible people.
I dunno. I will never have any further information than this so I won't bother with it anymore.
Thank you for the discourse. I hope you have a good day.
That's optimistic, I expect them to prop him up and have him continue being their leader well after he starts to decay, weekend at Bernie's style.
