You will be missed.

This assassination of Charlie Kirk today is basically the increasingly insane and violent political Left announcing that they want a civil war. They should be more careful in regards to what they are clearly wishing for.

The world is getting darker in these last days.

Yes.

The assassinated Charlie Kirk, and in doing so, killed the moderate middle.

Certainly the ones heretofore prepared to turn the other cheek are considering instead stocking up on ammo.

I really was not familiar with him, but this is sad. Killed for what reason? And with a new family that will be without him in their lives.

It's just sad.

I don't understand how people can do these things, so cold, so casual. And just walk away like it was nothing. What is going inside their head that they can just end somebody else's life, end many people's life in a sense, like that.

started turning point USA around 10 years ago with the agenda to spread right wing populism with a strong Christian nationalism core.

think dailywire, but focusing on Christian nationalism.
Kirk was quite popular, and was a staple at CPAC.
you are very familiar with his rhetorical stylings, because you see it everyday on this stream.
oftentimes verbatim.

there is something off about this whole business.
I am in wait and see mode.
but i feel horrible for his wife and children.

I've been realizing this since I posted those initial comments, gathering such info from other people's more informed comments than my totally gone ignorance.

Something off about this whole business? You mean like Memcorio's scenario? Or that maybe this isn't as simple as perceived, that perhaps deeper roots decided to nip something in the bud?

His family... just going through this... it will be every single day for the rest of their lives.

i don't know, it just smacks of theater on how it is being talked about.
but from what i can tell, that was a professional at work, not some rando political psycho.

Kirk wasn't just some internet pundit, he had a legit political apparatus in place.
3500 centers across the country.
he practically handed trump the presidency.
Shapiro or levin WISHED that had the influence and clout kirk had.

so the deranged leftie who hated free speech but had the skills of a trained sniper just does not track with me.
who benefits from kirk dying?
the left? lol, no and the dems are doing their best to drown the left in the bathwater anyways,
the dems? how? killing kirk only makes his message MORE powerful, that's basically the obi wan Kenobi tactic. possible though, because the dems are just....awful.
because it makes kirk a martyr, and maybe that was the point. i don't know.

kirks political career was on a constant trajectory towards a possible presidency.
the infrastructure and followers were already in place.
he was a legit power broker at 31.

i have only watched a few of his podcasts, i am going to go back and see if he started talking about
no no topics.
and let's see who tries to squeeze the most they can out of Charlie's assassination.
because i think this was certainly a political assassination, i am just not sure it was some rando lefty.

Yes, a little too perfect a shot for an amateur with no experience.

Perhaps the one that had the most to gain would be the heir presumptive.
As Kirk's popularity grew, it might have felt threatening to whomever thought that they should be next in line.

well, i had to learn a new word: groyper

He would go to college campuses and debate with the students and staff about social and political issues from a grounded Christian perspective.
