If you hate political violence, you should hate Charlie Kirk.
He was not “practicing politics the right way”—he was a very well paid henchman for the same guys who are trying to make it illegal to oppose them.
He bussed people to J6. He encouraged political violence against his enemies.

Bigots think they’re being clever, but this is just a pretty straightforward dog whistle. Why use this particular dog whistle? Who knows. But it’s not that inscrutable, unless you’re a reporter or editor at the NYT.

It’s a reference to a decree that made Algerians second class citizens during France’s colonial rule. You’d have to be a real bigot to get the reference. I am a history professor. I have had my students write about French colonial policy for a decade. This is a moniker only a bigot would choose.
