How well known was Charles Kirk?

Kirk’s killing is particularly disastrous for MAGA. He would have been eligible to run for President in 2028. He was articulate and personable, unlike JD Vance. He had decades ahead of him as the golden boy of the right after Trump shuffles offstage.
Kirk was certainly on track for a political future. I think that goes well beyond MAGA, which is entirely positioned around one man. His positions went beyond that and even went against the current President and leader of the party.

Certainly he was confident and well spoken which garnered support from millions of Americans. I think it's useless to diminish his popularity amongst the right.

I had no idea how beloved Kirk was on the right. I am profoundly disconnected from online dude bro culture.

Being a part of political discourse online would be enough to know about his clout. Not sure how you weren't aware. His history as a political force is impressive and worth giving credit to regardless of "dude bro culture"
 
That statement is beneath even you. He had millions of fans and a superior intellect to anyone on the left.
Why do you insist on saying people you know nothing about have "superior intellect" than another person you don't know anything about? It's as childish as "my dad can beat up your dad!"

Especially coming from you who has been proven to be one of the dumbest fuckers to ever disgrace this board 🫢

I wrote Kirk off as a chud like Nick Fuentes or Ben Shapiro. Not worth my time to pay attention to.

Really until he was killed I was only vaguely aware of him from various protests when he was invited to nearby colleges.

I think I had heard the name Turning Point USA. But I spend zero time in the MAGA fugue.

A mistake which shows you're not actually all that clued up. Instead you listen to your echo chamber and think you're reading the pulse of the world.

I suggest you watch one of his debates that he has had on college campuses to get an understanding of how he operated.

I'd also suggest you separate Shapiro from Fuentes in your assessments as those two are not on the same level.

I was shocked to learn Kirk was the guy in the “debate me” meme. I loved that meme. I guess we can’t use it anymore … .

There are a handful of things I care deeply about: Judaism, trains, feminism.

For fun I watch anime and write smut. I have a very tidy little life and like it that way.

That isn't going to help you when the shit hits the fan.
 
A lot of adults woke up today and immediately turned on the news to discover that Tyler Robinson's father turned his son into the police for the murder of Charlie Kirk.

Some rejoiced. I mourn. I mourn not only for Charlie and his surviving family, but for Tyler's dad who has to live with the fact that his son is (allegedly) a murderer. He has to live with the fact that somehow in the preceding 2 decades something went wrong in the way he raised his son. That some socially necessary mental process didn't evolve or get created. That his son is defective.

And, he has to live with the fact that not only did Tyler flush his own life down the drain, he took the well being of his parents with him. And he will wonder for the rest of his life if he's responsible or if he could have done something to try and make sure this didn't happen but didn't because he was "too busy."
The father was a former Deputy Sheriff as well.

Who will save you then? Given your inability to fire a weapon without incurring permanent spinal damage?

Tell us.

A bulletproof vest doesn't always save you, as Charlie Kirk discovered in his last fleeting moments on Earth.

But given some of the things he believed.. his popularity is nauseating.. and a sure sign this country is about gone.

Or you know.. a sane person could spend 30 seconds looking up what he believed in and reject every single last bit of it. It was so repulsive it beggars human imagination. Now was his death merited.. because of that? nope.
 
I’m friends with my neighbors. Community is a lot more useful than owning a gun.

Still not going to help you when the shit hits the fan.

You will not be able to outvote those who are waking up. Nor will you be able to mess around with the tabulations of those votes. When the counting is done, so too will your ideology be.
