Why did you not like Kirk? In the videos I’ve seen of his campus events, he opens the microphone for discussion and debate on most any topic. He wasn’t a name caller and allowed others to speak freely on their beliefs. Kirk would correct erroneous statements and explained his view of the topics. He was the closest thing I’ve seen to free discussion and debate. Maybe you didn’t share his opinions, but if you disliked him then you should self reflect on why. I can’t see why anyone would dislike him.
All the more reason to. I understand your frustration. It is good and okay to feel that way. But keeping an honest/open window for discourse is very important here. Admitting when maybe we took our point to far is okay. Allowing people to be human and make mistakes is what makes us who we are. Without the ability for the chance to grow nobody would ever learn or change their minds politically.
Are you holding up alright? I think it might be better if we continue this conversation somewhere private. I know how heavy and overwhelming this can feel, but it does not have to stay that way. We did not end up here because of thoughts and prayers. We are here because of actions, often carried out by people who were struggling and needed help themselves. No matter how dark or evil an act may seem, even the worst can be prevented or cut short with the right focus, attention, and effort.
