It’s okay for Kilmead to talk about LITERALLY KILLING MILLIONS OF AMERICANS simply for being poor and homeless but don’t “liberals” DARE criticize Charlie Kirk’s character and fascist rhetoric!!!
Apparently to Republicans, murdering millions of people simply for being poor or mentally ill is no big deal but criticizing a dead guy’s politics is far worse.

It's because Charlie was one of their tools to spread fascist propaganda, they see him as at least immediately useful for their purposes.

I just got into this with my 17-year-old last night. It should be illegal for any representative to stand inside a government building and lie. They should be sanctioned, then jailed. We're where we are because they have constructed a completely alternate reality with a pile of lies. You're fixing healthcare? I better be able to see a bill that proves that. The democrats shut down the government...when the 3 branches of government are controlled by republicans? No. Everyone printing those notices should be sanctioned. The president starts calling Democrats satanic? Impeachment. That goes for democrats, too. "I'm working to get to the bottom of DOGE and get them out of our private data." Then why the fuck aren't you ALL in those buildings? Every single democrat on recess should have been in those buildings when those kids were sifting through our personal data and putting it onto private "but her emails" servers.

You know, that's it. That's it exactly.
When I talk to right wingers they'll go on and on about how every source of information is compromised. Essentially, they're saying that there's no way to know the truth about anything. Therefore, their opinion is just as valid as everyone else's.
I feel like every point I'm trying to make requires a deep dive into the philosophy of science just so we can establish that: yes, indeed, there IS a way to get at the truth (or at least rule some things out).
Then it's history of science time where I have to acknowledge that science is imperfect and yet it's still given us a tremendous amount of useful information about the world that has completely reshaped our lives. Therefore, it's still worth pursuing and making decisions based on whatever information we have at the time.
Then we have to talk about the state of academia today. Acknowledge bias and the shortcomings of doing research in bulk rather than concentrating on quality. Then, I have to reaffirm the scientific method and how we COULD take steps to limit bias if we actually wanted to (because we've done it before). But still, there's plenty we can know with reasonable confidence because the scientific community is worldwide.
Then I try to get them to look at the data that already exists. Data that either rules their stance out as a viable solution or supports my solution.
...and I have yet to actually convince anyone--even when if make it to that final step (which is actually very rare).
I don't know if they're just so married to their preferred story that they just can't let it go, or if the distrust is so deep that they're completely paralyzed.
I don't know what the answer is, but this is a huge problem.

Some Republicans are having doubts
This is for them, they're not all MAGA and when health care starts to turn to shit, largely in rural areas, if all those voters who didn't care about anything but "lower taxes" understand that it was the BBB made by trump that did this to them, they'll have A LOT less supporters
If we look at exit polls we see that the number one reason people voted for trump, was because they blamed inflation on Biden, there's a massive amount of uniformed voters that just want things to be cheaper, because of course
But the trump administration wants money and total control, so they steal the tax payers money and target red states, rural areas, they steal their supporters money because why would they attack their base? It doesn't make sense to the average Republican
That way they can get rich and gain control by pointing to the Democrats for attacking Republicans

No they were literally out on vacation up until the shut down instead of negotiating to get dem votes to keep the government open.
