Chicago Cubs 3B Matt Shaw attended the trashy Charlie KKKirk Rally

Who's going to have to clean up the latest mess
Republicans have made of America?
When Shaw was asked about his attendance he claimed to have met Kirk in Arizona during Cubs Spring Training and the two connected over their faith and Kirk's Cubs Fandom, 

“He texted me after every game, ‘Great win for the Cubbies.’ And he was super, super supportive of us, and obviously someone who’s really faithful.  I’m not concerned at all, no,” Shaw said. “My connection with Charlie was through our faith, and that’s something that drives me every day."

Shaw claimed his teammates have been very supportive.  I wonder how many of them know Kirk was a notorious racist, loved gun violence, and mocked his political opponents when they were injured by crime or rightwing domestic terrorism.  The people in support of Shaw or of the Charlie KKKirk Klan Rally in Arizona in general appear to be treating that despicable spectacle as though it was a somber, dignified ceremony were Kirk was praised and remembered with grace instead of a thinly veiled Triumph of the Will production.

“That’s where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponent and I don’t want the best for them. I’m sorry."
MAGA shits on the Flag and trashes the Nation
and that doesn't even mention the schlocky merchandise for sale, Erikkka Kirk's DEI elevation to the head of Turning Points USA, or the massive mountains of trash created by the event goers.  Or the Grindr outages at the festival...

But, trashing America is the goal of MAGA.  For years the Corporate Media has gas-light the American people into believing that Trump/MAGA simply have different ideas on what's best for all Americans.  They don't. Republicans led by Trump and their cultish followers hate America and yearn to see the Government hurt, imprison, and kill many people. 

And let's not gloss over the Cancel Culture attacks conservatives have undertaken with gusto against anyone pointing out Charlie Kirk was a disgusting bigot, despicable racist, and glorified gun deaths and violence. Proving yet again the worst sin you can make in America is to accurately quote a right-winger or Republican.  Furthermore, anyone shocked at the hypocrisy of rightwingers seemingly not adhering to the "principles" of free speech they so ardently claimed to support simply doesn't understand that Republicans get off on being massive hypocrites, it's a fascist favorite game to hold completely different standards for you than for themselves.  Indeed a key hallmark of Fascism is the unequal application of laws, norms, values, and traditions depending upon who is in question.
