Some months later, we the people still have no idea who killed Charlie Kirk, and in fact there is no good evidence that even the actual gunman is, or has ever been, in custody.

The Latest, Part One and Part Two, none of which is getting us any closer to knowing.

Yes, you didn’t even know who the guy was, before he was murdered. Yes, it’s apparent over time that he really was a racist douche. And, yes, maybe you don’t care about his death because he was just another lunatic Trumper as far as you know.

You can not-care about any of that, and still find the evolving fable instructive about what kind of place you really live in, all deep red or true blue mythological bullshit aside.
