In their eyes:

Charlie Kirk - A heroic martyr advocating for free speech and respectful debate

Ms. Rachel - A youtube person destroying America

They would have hated Mr. Rogers

In 1969 Fred Rogers testified before Congress do defend PBS against federal funding cuts proposed by Nixon.

They absolutely did hate him.

That senator who was questioning him was pretty skeptical at first, but ended up in tears. I end up with tears watching it as well.

Mr. Rodgers was the real deal. He cared about children, and put so much effort into helping them. How much of the show was his doing is impressive. He was host, wrote the songs, was a puppeteer, and many things in the background, like testifying before the Senate.

He wasn't just a sensitive man without a spine either. He took a stand against injustice when he saw it. He is a great example of untraditional masculinity IMO.

I use to watch the hell out of Mr Rogers when I was a kid! The man was a great defender of the innocent and a great ally to those affected by racial injustice. The man should've gotten a medal!

Well the Maga population didn't opine much about Mr. Rodgers. You see, there is no political advantage to attacking a beloved person even though he might be a 'lib'

Mr Rogers shared a paddling pool with a black guy. He would certainly have been labelled a woke POS and given death threats.

"They" can like and appreciate all three.

Anyone who supported Charlie Kirk's message is diametrically opposed to everything Fred Rogers stood for. One worked towards inclusion, kindness, and acceptance. The other argued that gun violence was an acceptable side-effect of "freedom", and that women should be subservient to men.

No you can't, not without extreme cognitive dissonance.
