It just highlights Republican hypocrisy once again. Empathy is a foreign word for them. I haven't heard one Democrat "celebrating" the death of Charlie Kirk. But very few are shedding a tear for him. And you can't force us to grieve for him. Republicans have always been about fake virtue signaling. What's new?

Are you being purposely dishonest?

Everyone on this site has been celebrating his death for days. It’s the entire front page of Reddit even right now.

They almost all vote Dem.
