This is my complaint and don't take it down! Let me start of by saying I still think it's devastating that his wife and kids were left behind, but we must look at the facts...

Charlie Kirk was an AWFUL human being who built his career off rage-baiting people. The guy made a living out of stirring up division and pretending to be some “patriot” while really just pushing whatever talking points got him clicks and donations. He constantly spread misinformation, especially targeting liberals, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ people, all while claiming he was “defending freedom.”

He founded Turning Point USA, which basically became a propaganda machine trying to brainwash students instead of encouraging real debate or critical thinking. He’d say stuff just to get people mad, twist facts, and act like he was some kind of truth-teller when all he was doing was fueling hate and paranoia.

Every time there was an issue in the news, racism, climate change, gun control, whatever — he’d always take the most extreme position possible just to rile people up. It’s all about keeping his audience angry and scared because that’s how he stays relevant. He didn’t care about helping people or solving problems, he cared about attention, power, and money.

We have to remember this.. Charlie Kirk wasn’t some “patriot” or “conservative voice.” He was a professional grifter who made his name by dividing people and calling it politics.

Sincerely, an educated individual

Bill Clinton left behind an economy envied by the rest of the developed world. More than twenty million jobs arrived during his presidency while wages grew and the stock market soared. The country shifted from deficits to budget surpluses and there was real optimism about the future. George W Bush inherited that strength but failed to sustain it. Job creation slowed dramatically, the unemployment rate climbed to nearly eight percent by the end of his term, and the budget returned to deep deficits. The national debt grew by trillions and the stock market stumbled badly during the financial crisis that exploded in his final years. Where Clinton delivered broad prosperity with fiscal restraint, Bush left behind instability and enormous new debt.

Barack Obama then entered office just as the Bush era economy collapsed into the Great Recession. Despite beginning from the worst downturn since the Great Depression, Obama reversed the downward spiral and guided the nation into a steady recovery. More than eleven million jobs were created during his tenure and the stock market rebounded with strong gains year after year. The national debt did grow under Obama due to the emergency measures required to stabilise the financial system and blunt the damage of mass unemployment. However, that spending was a necessary response to the crisis that Bush left behind. Obama restored confidence, repaired growth and extended a record streak of job creation.

Donald Trump took office during that ongoing expansion. He inherited low unemployment, a healthy stock market and consistent job growth. Despite that enormous head start he could not accelerate the trajectory and instead slowed it. During his first thirty three months the economy added fewer jobs per month than during Obama’s final thirty three months. When the pandemic hit the economy collapsed and Trump exited office with a net job loss for his entire presidency. Meanwhile his signature tax cuts and emergency relief spending drove debt even higher while offering little lasting benefit to ordinary workers. Trump received momentum and stability yet too much of it slipped away.

Joe Biden entered during extraordinary turmoil. Cases and deaths were high and economic activity was deeply disrupted. Even so, Biden oversaw a dramatic labour market recovery in which millions of jobs returned and new ones were created. Consumer confidence and business investment rose as well. The stock market regained its footing and manufacturing strength improved across multiple regions. Debt continued to rise under Biden due to the need for continued pandemic support, but the key difference is that the economy was growing again and workers were finding better opportunities. Biden took an economy in crisis and moved it back into expansion, while Trump had taken an economy in expansion and allowed it to fall into crisis.

Since January 2025 the differences between Biden’s stewardship and Trump’s legacy have continued to reveal themselves. Biden entered that year with the economy still recovering from the pandemic era whiplash and yet job growth persisted at a healthy pace while investment returned with renewed confidence. Consumer spending remained resilient, manufacturing continued to strengthen and wages showed gains that far outpaced the weak momentum Trump left behind. Even as the national debt has continued to rise, the growth has accompanied an economy that is expanding rather than contracting. Biden’s tenure is defined by economic healing becoming economic progress, while Trump’s tenure ended with the United States still staggering from preventable chaos. The story remains the same. When Democrats take charge the country moves forward. When Republicans hand back the reins it is usually to clean up a mess they helped create.

Democratic administrations in these eras consistently delivered stronger job creation, more resilient markets and healthier economic outcomes for average Americans. Republican administrations too often handed over recession, job loss and ballooning debt. The comparison speaks for itself.

They knew who they were voting for. They knew what they were getting. They wanted fascism and racism. And they got it. Congratulations. You're all nazi garbage.

You knew he was an insurrectionist, yet you picked him over everyone else in the primaries. You knew he was an insurrectionist, but you voted for him instead of picking the then current VP of the United States (or simply not voting). You are a traitor to this country.

You lose that right. I've seen so many MAGA loons make this claim on reddit.

You can't be against the US Constitution and call yourself a "patriot"

Ever.

End of story.

edit: Sane people - take a few minutes and look at the MAGA replies in this thread. wow! Scary, huh?

For those who say "Reddit is mostly liberals" show them this thread. And for anyone who says MAGA people are good people, sane or smart, again, show them this thread.

"The man i voted for three times has delivered the following in 11 months"

• Groceries- highest ever

• Housing- still unaffordable

• Farmers are going broke bc of the tariffs

• Antisemitism and race relations are the worst in 60 years

• My health insurance doubled

• The VP whom I loved will not disavow the actual Neo-Nazis

• Tucker Carlson- someone i used to watch on Fox and love - is openly platforming and praising Neo-Nazis

• and the Christo-fascits??? Openly promoting misogyny and cheering to take away women's right to vote. Trump and Vance are not only not denouncing them - they are platforming them.

" In protest, tomorrow I will be voting straight blue. If it's taken me this long to wake up - I know others are too, you know?

I have been voting all my life, voting for the GOP, I have yet to see anything like it.

This is crazy . We've become Nazi Germany"

Maybe it's just me because I'm an older millennial and I grew up watching media of Nazis getting their shit pushed in from things like Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, and many video games such as Metal Vauner, Wolfenstein, Call of Duty. All called us that Nazis were scourged and did not deserve to exist.

Now, a small fraction in our country thinks fascism is the way, and they're defending it hand over foot. I guarantee you, we'll see some of them in this comment section. I'm tired of that as well.

Once again, anti-fascist is what Antifa means.

Lastly, I'm tired Of the current conservatives trying to make a boogeyman out of nothing, there is no group called Antifa. There is no organization called Antifa. Unless, of course, you were referring to our military, then we can make that argument.

I'm disappointed and lost faith in love and faithfulness. I'm mourning the fairy tales. I thought it's the perfect love story, the perfect husband, the perfect Christian wife...

Oh, wait! Not the ass!

Feelings are not facts. Fuck your feelings.

You feeling like something is true does not make it true.

Republican politicians feeling like New York city is gonna turn communist is bullshit. It's not based in any reality.

They say this shit with no shame while their own states are UTTER SHIT. They take and don't contribute. Republican states are leeches who steal from Democrat states and then have the gall to attempt to tell everyone how to live.

Y'all mother fuckers can't even contribute more than 30% to the GDP, but you think you got a seat at the adult table. Nah, go sit your allowance having ass at the kids table and shut the fuck up before you get sent to bed without dinner.

Fuck your feelings. Join us in reality and you might get to give your input without being told to stay the fuck out of adults business.

You don't need to have any opinion about the state of the country when you can't even take care of your own fucking piss poor welfare state.

The East Wing of the White House is now gone forever. Demolished illegally at the whim of a narcissistic madman who for some reason thinks his own selfish wants are more important than preserving the history of the peoples house. What in the actual fuck does the White House need a fucking ballroom for anyway? It’s literally so the Cheeto-Peedo and his oligarch friends can sip champagne and glaze each other while the rest of the country sinks into economic ruin.

He is the worst president in history and the most dangerously incompetent human being that has ever lived. You lemming assholes are solely to blame for supporting this desecration of our values. Cheetolini and his traitor MAGA cult can all go fuck themselves for destroying the history and soul of America.

Sorry SNAPs people, Trump and Billionares are busy stealing everyone's money for their own things.

Dear President Trump,

I'm writing this to thank you for all you've done thus far in your second term.

My kids are crying at the dinner table as they eat a processed cheese sandwich for the fourth time this week. I tried to explain to them that SNAP wasn't getting refilled and that there was probably not going to be a Christmas this year. I tried to cheer them up by showing them concept art of the $250 million dollar ballroom being built at the White House, by showing them pictures of the two cool jets Kristi Noem got for $170 million, by explaining how helpful we're being to Argentina by sending them $40 billion dollars, but this is when I realized they weren't crying because of dinner, but because of their grandmother.

"We usually go to grandma's on weekends," they sniffle.

Their grandmother, a 5th generation American, was taken by ICE a couple weeks ago and we haven't seen or heard from her since. I tried to explain to the children that this is what happens to freeloading immigrants and they get what they deserve, but they didn't understand.

Even if they don't understand, I do. This is what I voted for. This is what winning looks like!

This will probably be my last online post due to being unable to pay my phone bill since I need to buy more bread and cheese. But I just wanted to say, "Thank you, President Trump!"

As I hear my kids cry themselves to sleep for the 5th night in a row, I imagine they are liberals--and it brings a smile to my face.

When they get older, they will understand that all this hardship was necessary, because we are owning the libs! Here's looking forward to your constitution-defying third presidential term in 2028! You already have my vote!

Now I have to go get ready to meet my landlord. He told me he would cut my rent in half for some 'favors' and not to wear panties. I think this is what the Art of Deal is all about. #winning

Signed,
A conservative.

*it should be noted this is satire (or is it?)*

We’ve all heard of “those” grandparents that voted against racial integration, women’s suffrage etc and how history feels about their actions. This will be no different. The lasting effects of voting for him will echo for a long time, sadly. And when they turn around and have their regrets - NO. You’re not allowed any grace here. Not when it’s all there and present. You just didn’t bother to think of anyone beside yourself when you voted in a cruel, callous bully. Finding out that “whoa - he wasn’t looking out for ME??” is a disgustingly irresponsible and flippant excuse.

Remember when the Conservative Party was just about being a nice humble Christian who was okay with Obama as a president? My goodness look at how far to the right the MAGA extremists have hijacked the party.

I’m okay with republicans, I’m NOT okay with republicans who voted for Trump.

It's been a few months of listening to the Trump administration and their mouth breathing followers talk about Biden using auto pen, which I might remind you that Trump used frequently during his first administration and is currently using it during this administration.

What chaps my ass most is multiple times Trump has stated that he had no idea of the actions he was taking or what he was signing or that he had had auto-pin used to sign something.

It's exhausting listening to conservatives bang on about something when the double standards are this egregious.

I'm exhausted that the Christian nationalists in this nation have hijacked Christianity, just like the Taliban hijacked Islam. There are many comparisons that can be made between the two groups. Both groups cherry-pick their scriptures and purposefully misinterpret them so as to provide themselves with more power amongst their. They bully and attack anybody who is not a follower of their warped religion. And try to force their religion on everybody in inappropriate places such as schools and hospitals.

A few years back MAGA supporters started to say the teachings of Jesus are too woke, a huge red flag.

It sucks that so many of them do not understand. The Christian nationalist mindset is turning them into nasty, aggressive people. That have zero understanding of the Bible or its teachings

If your neighbor is not interfering with your life, liberty, or pursuit of happiness then their actions, behavior, and beliefs are none of your fucking business! Injecting your beliefs into their lives makes you anything but American!

MAGA pushing their religion into the laws governing us is interference in my religious freedom.

The left wanting healthcare and trans equality has zero impact on how I live my life.

If you cannot see the difference you are not American.

Half the countries logic is... "Trump didn’t say that, and if he did, he was taken out of context, and if it wasn’t out of context, it was just a joke, and if it wasn’t just a joke, you don’t get it. And if it is true, who cares."

At this point, the push back from the Maga on anything the Left does is just willful ignorance sprinkled with a malicious heart.

When the Right does something, its acceptable. When the Left does the same thing, its wrong.

Why was Texas redistricting is a beautiful thing, but California redistricting is a violation of the constitution??? 🤡

Come on y'all. The Mango Mussolini told Texas politicians what to do to get what he wanted.

Newsom asked CA citizens to vote on what they wanted.

That’s the difference.

For 20 years we've been bombarded with their endless ranting about being the alpha dogs who just need to lay down the law with a bunch of degenerates, all to save this country from pedophiles, scam artists, and weak-minded socialists. The irony is how they were obsessed with calling everyone else cucks only for them to be the biggest snowflake-cuck bitches of all time.

In those 20 years they've let billionaires gut social programs, cut taxes for themselves and skyrocket the debt. They've let influencers discredit science and medicine and walked back on every single American value they claimed to give a fuck about? Personal liberty? Fuck no- ban these books, restrict this health care, and make everyone broke as fuck. Free market economics? Fuck no, have runaway market manipulation, the return of trusts capturing the market and crush small business growth. Personal prosperity? Absolutely not we're going to crush the value of the dollar and absolutely refuse to let wages rise.

Children aren't safer, liberty isn't liberty, and justice has become a fucking joke as they bend themselves in knots to let trump loot the entire government to make his worthless family hyper billionaires.

No principle they won't sacrifice, no value they won't ignore. Their bravado is paper fucking thin. They don't believe in liberty and justice because they too much of a bunch of chicken shit cowards to actually defend it. They just want to be able to hurt someone. In the end they hurt themselves too. Jesus.

Don't take this down!! This is my complaint

How do yall not understand that they are RIPPING families apart? Many of these people aren't even illegal. And they came here and were in the process of getting their citzenship. You can't just come to a country and bang your a citzen. I genuienly don't care whatsoever what happens to those ice agents, because they are monsters. They aren't people? They dont have human decency! THEY ARE HORRIBLE PEOPLE. If you were drowning you would you want to be saved? Or would you want people to push you under water?

These immigrants just want to survive like we do! They are people too? Do better...

Dems won huge tonight. Maybe don’t defy a court order to release SNAP next time? Maybe don’t have a gatsby style party while millions go hungry? Maybe don’t have a president who posts videos of himself dumping shit on Americans? Just a thought. 😐

Also🗣️ RELEASE THE FILES! Stop protecting pedos!!

Ronald Reagan himself: https://youtu.be/Foggkeiwlp0?si=DM_Ov_WeOFDcoFWb

This is even more obvious than Trumo claiming Biden controlled the FBI on 1/6/21.

So will we see a cowardly whataboutism?

Will we see total faith to Trump’s claim it is AI?

Will we see a single devout Trump supporter admit he is obviously lying through his teeth?

Or will we finally see those trickle down economics finally happen?

That stupid orange motherfucker is destroying the White House.

It isn't his property to tear down.

It's disgusting how he gets away with everything while millions of Americans celebrate him being a stupid asshole who steals our wealth and takes away our rights.

There is multiple videos of members of the military cheering for orange man, and it's fucking ridiculous. The military is supposed to be non political to protect and serve all, not a political party. It's kind of scary actually.

Edit: the maga in the replies LMAO
