When they went to see the Star Wars movies...

...they probably cheered for Darth Vader?

They seem to root for the bad guy? They rooted for the criminals that attacked our Capitol on January 6th. Trump pardoned all of them, including the ones that were charged with sedition. Not only that, he wants to pay all of them money for their trouble.

They root for Steve Bannon. You would think they would at least ask him to take a bath?

They rooted for Rush Limbaugh, one of the most divisive people in recent memory. They identified with him. Trump gave him the Medal of Freedom.

Now they want to give that same Medal to Charlie Kirk, who from what I know and have seen, was nothing but a big mouth that dared to say what others would not. His comments were appealing to people because they were shocking to them. He promoted hatred, bigotry, and division couched in free speech and conservatism. There was really nothing to write home about.

I am almost certain that if Jesus Christ were around today, they would be rooting for Judas Iscariot.

A cut-throat thief over a gentle country preacher. Sounds on-brand for them.

"darth" and "death star" are liberals, democrats, women, people of color, whatever else

They're victimizing THEM by expecting the same privileges only they should enjoy
