Seeing the reaction on the Left to last week’s assassination of Charlie Kirk makes moving forward an interesting challenge.

So many people in trusted positions rejoiced and celebrated the assassination and many of them are just being fired. And they are broadcasting both their celebrations and their dismay at being fired. Teachers. Health Care workers. Security officials. Government employees. Okay, so not as many people trust them anymore. But people from all over the work force are reporting that coworkers are giddy about the assassination and that makes them worried about the people they work with.

The problem is that when people see other people celebrating the killing of another person, it really does change how people look at them. Now most people understand that self-defense is a good reason to kill, but Charlie talked. He went onto college campuses with other kids his age and talked to them about difficult topics. Most people know that talking isn’t violence.

But today people are seeing where it leads when they say that “words are violence.” And they see actual violence perpetrated against words. And they see Leftists celebrating that violence because Charlie Kirk said things they don’t like. And these same people consider how many of their own thoughts are things that the Leftists have said are violence in the past. And that is when people see themselves in Charlie Kirk. When they realize that the Leftists really do want them dead and will celebrate when they die.

Knowing that a significant portion of a major political party wants them dead is a major gut check for most people. They tend to start looking at the whole party differently. And if reports are accurate, many many people are not liking what they are seeing. Many people are terrified by what they see.

Some people say we need to talk about it. But Charlie was talking. And Leftists are telling us that is why he was killed.

It is difficult to move forward and talk to people when those same people are saying that if you say things they don’t like they will rejoice and celebrate when you are killed for it.
