Sweet-talking racism and hatred does not change them into something good. There is a difference between form and substance. Hiding nefarious substance under nice form is not to be commended.
Charlie Kirk may have had every right to be a sweet talker, a polite normalizer of otherwise hateful ideas, which is allowed under the First Amendment. But those who listen to his smooth charming words do get the message beneath the veneer. Kirk may not have brandished a gun, but he inspired many to do so.
Trump keeps demonizing the Democrat half of the country with vitriolic virulent language, which goes into the deranged brains of some nuts in his MAGA herd of morons. He claims "freedom of speech" while doing everything he can to cancel and shut down those who criticize him.
For example, Donald Hump lashed out against Joe Biden last night at a black-tie dinner, calling him “stupid” and “mean.” After rambling about his achievements, Slump said that “Biden was always a mean guy, but never a smart guy. We go back 30 years, 40 years, he’s a stupid guy . . . He was always a mean son of a b---h. How’s it working? Not working too well for him now. When you start feeling sorry for him, remember he was a bad guy.” Trump has repeatedly referred to Biden as “stupid” and a “low-IQ individual" and had indulged in conspiracy theories suggesting Biden was executed in 2020 and replaced by a robot clone.
This is the kind of language that demonizes at least half of the country and incites violence. Here is an example of a MAGA nutcase who decided to be a "martyr" for Charlie Kirk. The garbage of the bible says that gays must be stoned to death, which in our modern gun-toting American culture translates into a mass shooting at a gay bar.

An Arizona man is under arrest on terrorism charges after allegedly telling police he threatened to shoot up a gay bar because he was angry over last week's slaying of Charlie Kirk.
Treven Michael Gokey, 49, was arrested on Wednesday, Sept. 17, by Phoenix police responding to a welfare check after he allegedly made threats over a crisis hotline that he would shoot up a gay bar, AZ Family, FOX 10 and 13 News reported, citing court documents.
Gokey alleged told police he had targeted Cruisin’ 7th, a popular LGBTQ bar near his home, because he was "triggered by political events," per court documents cited by AZ Family.
He allegedly said he "was a martyr for Charlie Kirk," claiming Kirk himself was a martyr, per court documents cited by all three outlets.
Police further accuse him of making statements such as “radical left violence breeds a far-right response" and that he wanted to "send a message" specifically to the far left, the outlets reported.
He also allegedly made transphobic and homophobic comments to police, some seeming to allude to harming the transgender community, 13 News reported, citing court documents.
