IDK much about the late man other than what I've read in the past couple days. Regarding Dems he's made many remarks that I can't quote precisely.

I asked ChatGPT. Prompt: charlie kirk statements that dehumanize democrats

How those statements can be seen as dehumanizing

Framing as enemies: Saying liberals “hate” America or “want to destroy it” sets them up as antagonists, not just political opponents. It’s about moral character in extreme terms rather than policy disagreements.

Defining identity reductively: Labeling groups as “dependent on government,” or “living in tragedy of your own making,” etc., strips away nuance and reduces people to blame or shame‐oriented traits.

Assigning malicious intent: Some statements assume that Democrats act with ill will or deliberate harmful goals rather than simply having different philosophies or policy priorities.

Us vs. them polarization: These sorts of remarks deepen divides by denying any shared ground or possibility of good faith.

Yes I mean the evil orange guy.



None of those statements are saying he didn't consider them human or is dehumanizing them. If that is the extent of it, then that is quite weak.


I didn't post any statements, but a summary of chatgpt's conclusions. Again, I'm not familiar with the man and DON'T wish to learn no more. He was obviously a hateful provocateur who was apparently murdered for not being evil enough.
