“Literally”? Did he shoot at you? Or did he try to stab you?
“That isn’t hypothetical or allegorical”? No? Did he try to run you over with his car?
“Charlie Kirk literally wanted me dead” I’m sure he had absolutely no idea who you were. He may have wanted a whole category of people that includes you dead, but he wasn’t actually trying to kill you himself, and didn’t know you personally.
“it’s sacred protected speech just because he’s chosen to use <speech>” Yes, when someone uses speech it’s different from when they aim a gun at you and pull the trigger. Is that surprising to you?
Sorry. Maybe you’re just too comfortable as the member of a majority group, I don’t know. But for those who are targeted, they can understand that a threat to wipe out a group you are a member of is no different than a threat to kill you personally. You’re just engaging in sophistry.

“I didn’t plot to kill you, I just plotted to kill your entire family. You have no business complaining.”
So, you think he literally knows your name and plotted to kill your specific family? Are you really that deluded?

Of course it’s a threat, it’s just not a direct threat that you’re legally allowed to respond to with violence.
