Tolerance for the intolerant is suicide for society.   People who deny human rights for others deserve no human rights for themselves.  They must be ridiculed, ostracized, outlawed, and if they still won't shut up, they must be beaten senseless.

There's two issues with your take here. First, I never even implied that Kirk wasn't a big Trump supporter, that was his whole shtick as a grifter. That's just obvious, and nobody is arguing otherwise. Second, is being a Trump supporter now enough grounds to justify killing people? I agree that Trump and MAGA are pretty Fascist in nature, however the fact remains that Kirk was a private citizen at the end of the day. He was not an elected official and he did not hold any public office. He was just an activist/grifter who made a career simping for Trump. Hate him all you want, I certainly did, but killing him or anybody over this sort thing is a huge red line that should never be crossed. There's a reason why societies throughout history that resorted to using violence for political discourse out of convenience rather than necessity are the ones always ended up being lead by a depraved tyrannical regime. There are many more lessons to learn from history than just acknowledging that Nazis are bad.
