I love the weird politicization of his assassination. Kirk is about as moderate and mainstream normie as they come. The irony is they want to fake his legacy to smear him while getting made he pointed out that other people and lionized leaders were not perfect. It should be non-controversial to say we should not assassinate people for their political ideas - most especially when they're simple, normie mainstream views.
No kidding!!, not a fundamentalist at all, welcomed gay and LBGT into his "conservative" tent if they would, was in the process of reconciling even agreeeing with Catholics on many prominent issues such as veneration of Mary, dude was basically ecumenical in his teaching.
30 years ago democrats would agree with 90% or more of what he is was saying. Common things he believed that were common to almost all people 30 years back.
1) Marriage is between a man and a woman.
2) Two men or two women in relationship is not a marriage.
3) We need strong national borders.
4) There are two genders.
5) Men should not play in womens sports.
6) You are not "assigned a gender" at birth, you are born a specific gender, there are 2 choices.
What used to be the very most basic common sense to almost all, is now considered radical or as the killer would say, hate speech by the far left and even starting to creep into the normy left.
Let me add, the 6 points above are all still as true as they were 30 years ago. Just because democrats as a party abandoned them, doesn't change that fact.
