There are so many words and cliches condemning the killing of Charles James Kirk, and none of the refrains are unique. "We need to dial back our discourse", "we need to be tolerant of different opinions," and "there is no room in American politics for political violence." Are people blind to the realities that have been swirling all around us? The language has been violent. The discord has been great. There has been a consistent invitation to dine at the table of heated racist discussion posing as legitimate political speech.
