I’ve watched with horror over the past few years, trying to understand how so many people could believe such obvious lies. Sadly, we have reached the point where it is dangerous not to parrot the lies. It’s a tipping point from which it may be nearly impossible to recover without prolonged moral trauma.

I fear that the murder of Charlie Kirk will be the catalyst that precipitates the violent reaction that results in open persecution of the target groups. The intent of the architects of this tragedy are blazingly illuminated for anyone who dares to look at the truth that’s is plain for all to see. We know who the first victims will be, and we know who they will come after eventually. I fear few will be brave enough to continue to shout the truth. Yes, words do matter, they are all we have to fight with.
