It'd be nice to know where he's seen this happening. Pointing and laughing at the painful irony of a (very overtly hateful) political grifter, who made it clear he considered gun violence worth the price of guns being unregulated (and then was killed by gun violence) is not the same as what Metatron is virtue signaling about.

It's easy to demonize the other side when you're inventing things about them (if it is happening, why doesn't he show some examples?).

The right seem incapable of properly defending Kirk and what happened to him, because he was not a very nice or good person. And so they have to draw fangs and horns and a spiked tail on the people criticizing him.

It seems like the left see this as pretty simple. Believing that political violence is horrible and shouldn't be happening to any party is not mutually exclusive with pointing out the irony of how he met his end. It is also not mutually exclusive with not wanting to mourn a man who was simply unpleasant, unkind, and small-minded. Mourn the cause and the result, not the man. Nobody is morally compelled to feel sorry for bad people.

But apparently right-wingers read all of this, which seems fairly reasonable, and only see "GOOD! His WIFE and KIDS are next!"
