    I had trouble getting past the opening of this article:

    >Felker-Martin made two celebratory Bluesky posts. “Thoughts and prayers you Nazi bitch,” read one. “Hope the bullet’s okay after touching Kirk,” read another.

    ----

    >That made Felker-Martin one of the many Americans to have been fired or disciplined for being insufficiently respectful towards Kirk.

    "insufficiently respectful" is NOT how I would describe those tweets.

    Celebrating political violence, or some similar phrase is how I would describe it.

    The rest of the article falls into the typical "the left" and "the right" type arguments, more and more often I find those to just be stereotypes that people imagine and argue with, but have little basis in reality.
