Matt was wrong. We are allowed to change our minds.
You live, watch other people celebrate the brutal assassination of an innocent man, and you learn.

For sure, there are some crazy ppl out there who celebrate bad things. On a positive note, I don't think there was a single prominent figure (anywhere on the political spectrum) who did anything but immediately condone the murder.
Lot of crazy incels sitting in their parents basements along with plenty of russian/chinese bot farms that make you want to believe people are broadly celebrating this murder.
I don't know about you, but I personally don't know a single person in real life who celebrated the murder or who even thought it was net positive regardless of their political leanings.
To that point, I know Zuck and Elon love promoting the super crazies on their platforms. It is literally their money printer for facebook and twitter. The more they push the crazy narrative, the more normal people get upset and reply saying its crazy, etc...
Just the way Jan 6 was a massive payday for them, so is Charlie Kirk's murder and so will be the next tragic event.
This is largely a social media problem imo. Most people in the world are pretty darn normal and we all tend to get along. If it weren't the case, and if what you saw on social media reflected real life, there would be nothing but mass chaos on the streets every day.
