Convicted Felon and Rapist Awards Fascist Hate-Monger Medal of Freedom Award

When you think Trump couldn't go any lower in his quest to demean our country, he awards Kirk the Medal of Freedom. This is the guy who advocated taking away the freedom of gay and transgender citizens. This is the guy who said black women aren't smart enough to be leaders. This is the guy who advocated violence against people who disagree with his white supremacist views. This is the guy who denied the 2020 election results.

It's funny how much the reich wing hates it when we quote Charlie Kirk!

‘I think it’s worth it. I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.’

— Charlie Kirk, 5 April 2023.

a made up New Age term

He's right about it being made up, lots of words were consciously created. But this one long predates the current usage of New Age, it's from 1895.

But then again New Age has been used to describe at least three new ages, starting in about 1640.

I wonder if Kirk had the same opinion of the word sympathy? That of course is considerably older and predates most current European languages as it is borrowed from Classical Latin which in turn borrowed it from Classical Greek.

Is there a name for the kind of statement that Kirk made there? It feels a bit like an ad hominem attack.
