There are ironic elements here that show the difference between mainstream people and MAGA. On MSNBC, Matthew Dowd was fired for describing Kirk's schtick as hate speech (it is), and leading to his own shooting (he's probably correct) and it isn't that he holds that opinion, it's that he said it out loud.
Look at the MAGA behavior, and what you see is all of the socially unacceptable stuff that before Trump wouldn't have been uttered they are now saying out loud. The double standard, as it is - do regular folks and the left want to stoop to the MAGA socially inept form of dialog, or do they want to continue to draw the lines of polite behavior? If they go low (as Michelle Obama said not to), all is lost.
