Tag: turn down the temperature

That’s right. You’re getting two Lexicon entries in one week!

And you can stop throwing rotten tomatoes at me. Thank you.

And once again, we have to delve into the world of the Charlie Kirk assassination because, well, everything else seems to be absorbed by it. But this time it’s going to be different! This time you’ll have to deal with my take on the situation.

Please see the above sentence regarding rotten tomatoes.

One of the oddest situations coming out of the Kirk assassination (outside of the suspect’s personal life) was how the Left has this idea that it’s the Right that needs to “turn down the temperature” with their rhetoric. This has been a squawking point every time something happens to anyone to the right of Josef Stalin, so I figured I’d take the idea out for a spin.

turn down the temperature

What the Left thinks it means – actions the Right can do to reduce the tensions in this country

What it really means – Leftists telling the Right to shut up and take the abuse they’re getting

To put it mildly, America is fractured, possibly beyond repair. Not that I’m going to stop using duct tape, Super Clue, chicken wire, and bubble gum to keep it together, mind you. And believe it or not, Charlie Kirk had a similar mindset. He had discussions with people from all ideological walks of life. He wasn’t mean or insulting (although Leftists still paint him that way). All he was asking for was a civil dialogue on what is, not what we want it to be.

And for that, he got shot.

I’m no anti-terrorist expert, but I’m thinking the temperature is pretty high as it is.

In between attempts to portray Kirk’s shooter as anything but potentially gay furry with a trans roommate, possible mate-mate, the Left has been putting the onus on the Right to tone things down. To which I have a three word response.

Dude got shot.

And based on what I’ve seen from online Leftists, they have no intention of lowering the temperature. Some have asked why there aren’t more assassinations against the Right, including President Donald Trump…a man who has also been shot for being on the Right. I’ve even seen the terminally online go so far as to suggest any such shooter would get amnesty or even sexual favors for doing it.

Yeah, not really seeing where this is a MAGA problem, dickweeds.

Add to this the number of high profile people in politics and media calling Trump and MAGA supporters fascist, including Charlie Kirk.

Then, dude got shot.

And Leftists cheered (although they claim they didn’t). As a result, Leftists lost their jobs and one, Jimmy Kimmel, found himself indefinitely suspended for lying about who was responsible for Kirk’s shooting. Here’s what he said in whole, and the offensive part quoted below:

We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.

Yep. Temperature’s not coming down any time soon, but it’s MAGA’s fault.

Yeah, but dude got shot.

After Kimmel’s monologue, his fellow late night “comedians” rallied to his side, decrying the lack of free speech. After all, the Trump Administration silenced Stephen Colbert (who lately is as funny as VD on prom night) and now Jimmy Kimmel (who lately is as funny as reruns of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians”), so is the federal government going to silence all late night comedians unless they kiss the ring? Everyone should be out in the streets demanding Kimmel be able to exercise his freedom of speech by telling one-sided and unfunny jokes.

And…dude got shot.

As expected, the Left is doing its best not to appear like total shitheads by…checking my notes…acting like total shitheads. Even after his death, Leftists were trying to condemn him as dangerous (although I have to admit I laughed when the Socialist Socialite called Kirk ignorant because irony/lack of self awareness).

Yet, these are the same assholes telling the Right to tone things down?

Say it with me now…dude got shot.

In order to drop the temperature in any situation, there has to be efforts to, well, drop the temperature. You can’t keep calling the Right fascists and demand they tone it down because you’re stoking the fires. And while you keep doing what you’re doing, you’re going to keep radicalizing people who will do what the shooter did to Charlie Kirk.

You know. Dude got shot.

But that’s not really what you want, is it? You want to have the Right censor itself while you say what you want and not reap any consequences. Here’s the problem, dipshits: you’re going to get to a point where your victims get motivated to hit back. And believe me, as the old Interwebs saying goes, you have started shit and somewhere down the line you will get hit.

So, let me put this as bluntly as I can: shut the fuck up with the heated rhetoric. You’re making things worse and looking like hypocritical assholes for demanding everyone but you be nice. In other words, you’re acting like normal. Now, we need you to not act like normal, and I know you can do that because that’s what I see you do everyday.

As for the Right, there are steps you can take to not give the Left any more legitimate reasons to call you fascists. For one, call out the bad actors on the Right and tell them to shut their pieholes. The very fact Nick Fuentes and America First isn’t relegated to being more of a laughingstock than Tim Walz should trouble the Right. The further these assholes are to the grassroots, the better.

And that’s the same advice I can give to the Left right now. You should not even remotely associate with the people in your midst who cheered Charlie Kirk’s death. They may be reliable voters, but they’re hindering your movement. You want to keep being on the losing end of 80-20 issues, keep listening to these jackoffs. If you want to have any chance of holding elected office higher than Assistant Dog Catcher, tell them to shut up and let the adults work. Otherwise, all your calls for more civil discourse is going to be met with three words.

Dude got shot.
