For the most part, I do agree, but the one thing he did do was to expose
the fact that the right/MAGAs don't have a monopoly on lies,
misinformation, information bias, and hypocracy.  A lot of the college
students he would have "discussions" with would display some or all of
these issues.

Overall, I didn't care for his message, but I also overall didn't usually care
for the message of whoever he was being questioned by or debated.
Right-wing wackos and left-wing wackos are all wackos in my book.

I agree.  We shouldn't be murdering our political opponents, or anyone
else, for that matter.

I would not go as far as you but would say it is ironic.  Reports have
suggested that he was actually answering a 2nd ammendment related question
when he was shot.  I hope that authorities questioned the student that
asked the question as that seems a little too coincidental to me.
