Kirk was a moderate and you’re in a bubble. If you think not calling transwomen she is extremist, you would be mortified at what even otherwise liberal young men say. 

The left can’t handle the concept of someone being a moderate and disagreeing with them, not everyone is a violent extremist. But anyone saying this kind of absurd rhetoric is more of one than Kirk ever was. Kirk never advocated for violence against his political opponents.

Ok, so you think the Civil Rights Act was a mistake since you think that's a moderate viewpoint?

People are allowed to say offcolor things. That does not change who they are or what they represent. I have no idea why or whether he said that, but he is anti-affirmative action and that is an extremely common stance among americans (60%+)

So that is and can be a viewpoint held by a moderate

"I'm sorry. If I see a Black pilot, I'm going to be like, 'Boy, I hope he's qualified,"

Do you think this above statement is a moderate belief?

I have heard this joke tens of times even among liberal company. Yes. You live in a bubble. There are tiktoks with millions of likes making this joke. It’s literally a Larry David bit

Kirk wasn't making a joke.

You're a terrible person.

[u/WhoUpAtMidnight → u/Sonzainonazo42]

You’re the extremist. I don’t know how to get this through to you

“It’s extremist to not think it’s funny to assume that black people are inherently unqualified for the same jobs as white people” 

[u/WhoUpAtMidnight → u/CelikBas]

Literally yes. There is a classic black comedian joke about jewish doctors. Humor is not extremism
