I feel like Charlie Kirk was doing work akin to Uptrust: "Charlie Kirk spent his life trying to engage those who disagreed with him. By all accounts, he was willing to debate anyone, anywhere, about the ideas that mattered to him.... - cindym...
“When discourse ends, violence begins,”
From the Small Stage to Center Stage Kirk co-founded Turning Point USA when he was just 18 years old. What started as a small group of like-minded college students grew into one of the most influential youth movements in the United States.... - amahone...
I feel as if we as a country, and a "United" people, have been in a free fall since 2016 and recent years before.

Yeah I find it interesting, when I go on to social media. I post and then they check what I say. Then try to warn me that my opinion isn't what they want. So I need to make sure, because other people have commented the same way. I don't care if they report me.... - Shera JoyCry...
It was scary, i wanted to remove this post, and probably should. I feel like can be so misunderstood. I support all people being anything and defining gender in any way that works for them. But also would like to be able to have free thought and speak it without fear.... - cindym...
