    I’m not sure this quote is any kind of gotcha, my friend. It’s one of the more reasonable things he ever said, in fact, minus the gross implications of how to reduce them.

    Edit for clarity: the reason this quote is not a great gotcha is because the core thesis of it is undeniably true. You really will never get gun deaths to zero. This is what I mean by saying there’s something reasonable to it. My god people, try to see the world with some shades of grey, eh?

      He also said Black women “do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person’s slot to go be taken somewhat seriously.”

          After Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement, Kirk fantasized about Kelce making Swift “more conservative” and begged the pop star to “submit to her husband.”

          “This is something that I hope will make Taylor Swift more conservative," he said. "Engage in reality more… Reject feminism. Submit to your husband, Taylor. You’re not in charge.”

            I…yes? Sorry dude, maybe there’s a misunderstanding. I am also team “Charlie Kirk sucks”. I’m just saying that just because he sucks doesn’t mean every statement he ever made sucks and has now become an epic gotcha. Like if I went around posting “‘Broccoli is better than cauliflower’ - Kirk”, I would want someone to tell me that I’m not making the impact I hope to with that quote.
