3. But there must be resistance to the flood of gaslighting coming from everybody on the right

I agree there must be a better way to address this. I do think it is fair game to make these points:

1) We have a huge gun violence problem in this country.
2) It is quickly turning into a political violence problem.
3) People all across the political spectrum are being murdered.
4) The people doing this are RADICALIZED, and the FBI's own documents say this radicalization is overwhelmingly from the RW.
5) There are multiple warring factions within the RW, all trying to position themselves for the departure of Trump.
6) There is every reason to believe that the Trump shooting and the Kirk murder were MAGA-on-MAGA violence.
7) The left has nothing to gain by making a martyr out of Kirk. Plenty of people on the right are doing exactly that.
