Am I the Only One That Has Never Heard of Charlie Kirk?

I feel like I have been living under a rock listening to the reaction to his recent assasination. How do most people know who he is?

Not inconceivable if you avoid social media and podcasts.

If you’re a conservative and ever on YouTube, you’d know him. The algorithm always pushed him, and I enjoyed his debates.
And if you’re a liberal, then you probably never watched him debate but you’ve been programmed to hate him.

I had seen a couple clips of him online but had no idea that he was such a big deal.

I know who he is. I don’t know that I ever actually heard the sound of his voice

no, I had heard the name from my politics obsessed boomer dad, but I didnt know who he was.
Not many at work did either, but there was one or two.
the people who are obsessed with politics 24/7 think that he was a household name.
either way it was terrible what happened to him

He was a rising (key word) star among political addicts
He was nowhere near as right wing as portrayed in the MSM. which is why I was not a huge fan

He seemed center right to me and based more in Christianity than conservative politics.

Been seeing his clips for the past years.
He has grown on Social media.
Thats the only place Ive seen him.
I would tune into him, he showed the political climate of Universities and had great conversations.
Before him it was Crowder, Before Crowder it was Milo.
Hes been around for a good while.
He really championed it because of his faith and the way he handled the questions.

This may explain it….I am conservative and do use YouTube. However, I have never listened to a video or podcast concerning politics.

Ive been surprised by Kirks domestic and international appeal to younger men. He impacted more than I ever thought he did.
He gave them classic conservative answers to many of the confusing things they've been taught and it found fertile ground with a lot of them.

It will be interesting to look back on his impact in 20-30 years

I never heard of him either because I don’t do the social media and while on YouTube I just watch football highlights. Since trump got elected I’m good.

Honestly the corporate media was terrified of Charlie on both sides since he was getting into their bottom line, so even Fox was not letting him on. It wasn’t until relatively recently Charlie regularly started going on Fox because they knew they couldn’t beat him, so they joined him.
As for the Left like CNN and MSNBC, they’d just casually refer to Charlie as a white nationalist and never showed any clips of him whatsoever. They wouldn’t dare have him on their network.
So yeah, to people that weren’t paying attention and only watched the corporate press it was a “Yeah, I think I’ve heard of him before.” My parents and wife didn’t know him either because my parents watch Fox and my wife doesn’t watch the news at all. But he was a titan and the single greatest general Trump ever had.
Charlie Kirk would have been President of the United States one day if he had not been killed. This is big of an assassination as RFK and as brutal and open as JFK’s.
