It's not a phobia. You're not scared. You're an asshole."

" In the edgy messages, the leaders used racist themes and epithets freely and cheered slavery, rape, gas chambers, and torturing their opponents. They expressed admiration for Adolf Hitler.
One of them wrote to the others, 'If we ever had a leak of this chat we would be cooked [for real for real].'”

"Today, Jason Beeferman and Emily Ngo of Politico reported on 2,900 pages of messages exchanged on the messaging app Telegram between leaders of the hardline pro-Trump factions of Young Republican groups in New York, Kansas, Arizona, and Vermont."

"This is what you get after a decade of Trumpism’s ascendance: a young-activist base that has self-selected for the most amoral and psychotic political strivers, and has held them up as a professional ideal for the young people coming up behind them to copy and emulate. This is what they know as the ticket to power. It’s MAGA gone metastatic."

"Wouldn’t that be the same 'new generation' that the media fell over themselves to lionize Charlie Kirk about 'reaching?' OK, then (quoting POLITICO):
'Together, the messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely — and where the Trump-era loosening of political norms has made such talk feel less taboo among those positioning themselves as the party’s next leaders.'"

Chapter 6 of "How We Learn to Be Brave" discusses (among other things) how to move on after making a big mistake. An example is that the National Cathedral invited Max Lucado to speak as part of the Cathedral's virtual Sunday worship. Although his speech didn't contain offensive content, people were upset because Lucado had a history of saying awful things about LGBTQ+ people. Budde recognized the harm done by platforming Lucado, and apologized.
I would have liked to see her explain why she doesn't feel the same about some of the platforming that she did in the pages of "How We Learn to Be Brave". The book contains numerous positive references to clergy that she seems to regard as friends or mentors, even though they belong to religious groups that reject both the equality of LGBTQ+ people and the ordination of women. I have immense respect for Budde, but my respect for her became less with each positive reference to individuals who belong to bigoted religious groups. I am 100% certain that she disagrees strenuously with their institutions about both LGBTQ+ rights and women's rights. Why, then, did she platform them?
Here's a thread of commentators noting and pushing back against the attempt of journalists and others to whitewash Charlie Kirk's legacy:
"I also find it bizarre and frankly insulting that much of the coverage of this—again, bad—event is asking us to pretend that Kirk stood for civil disagreement and engagement and that we as a nation must come together to mourn him."
~ Emily Tamkin
"To pretend that Kirk was this other, more civil person is to do two things. First, it is to lie, and to pretend that homophobia and racism and antisemitism and sexism are tolerance. They are not. But second, it is to put conditions on our denouncements of violence. I don’t need Kirk to have been good to think that it was bad he was shot."
