I SCAN their social media. I monitor their conversations. I can tell they’re thinking it. So why won’t our homegrown liberals badmouth Charlie Kirk so I can snitch on them?
A rabid Trumpian militia is poised to ruin their lives. Look at what’s going on over there – a purge putting Stalin to shame, a ritual bloodletting the Aztecs would admire. It’s approaching half the workforce, and good.
But over here? Where are our unionists and teachers and woke librarians slandering a dead man by holding contrary views? Why haven’t we fired our ultra-liberal Jimmy Kimmel spewing late-night hate, ie The One Show?
I’m up all night delving deep into Instagrams, joining private Facebook groups, even – wearing surgical gloves and mask – the cesspit-cum-orgy of Bluesky. And none of you have said a bloody word.
I know you know who Charlie Kirk is. How could you not? The President’s right-hand man, a Pied Piper leading America’s youth to the magic mountain of MAGA. A man never afraid to debate who said nothing offensive, ever, and direct quotes are disrespectful.
But on every social worker’s X account there’s the same old ‘who even is Charlie Kirk?’ which I suppose is hilarious to you. A man who Trump will shortly be presenting for sainthood, and you’ve ‘never heard of him’.
You’re talking about him. In your private WhatsApps, in your Discord servers whatever they are. I can’t prove it but I suspect, and in this nation suspicion is eight-tenths of the law.
I’ve reported you to the US authorities. You lose your job tomorrow and your house Monday. And this isn’t cancel culture because it’s us doing it.
