    Possible… but he had a lot of enemies, and there’s more and more people with literally nothing left to lose in the USA every single day, so it was probably inevitable on a long enough timescale.

      Who would have thought that making millions of people’s lives actively worse in an already not great time in the most widely-armed country in the world could have POSSIBLY led to current events???

        By that, do you mean Kirk made millions of people’s lives worse? How exactly (other than by incessantly spouting bullshit)? Genuine question

          after I typed this I realized I basically just said "yeah incessantly spouting bullshit"

          When you’re a mouthpiece of hate, and people who agree with you act on it by being shitty to someone they don’t like, you’ve made many people’s lives worse.

          When you’re as prolific as he was, supporting a government that’s actively mistreating the majority of its 300m+ population, you’ve made millions of people’s lives worse.
