Was it Charlie’s message or Charlie himself that attracted all the young people…..

It was his message. Not even close really.
He articulated very well what most rational people feel instinctively.

I personally think it was his debate skills. Normies loved seeing the freaks get their ideas demolished with basic logic, using language that they are not allowed to use on campus for fear of being expelled.

He spoke on BEHALF of a lot of people and he did it very well.

His is not a talent that will translate to just anyone. I hope there are other's out there like him that have both the intellect and the demeanor to carry on.

It was his message along with his ability to be super respectful and clean with his responses. It's a rare breed that someone in his position doesn't lash out at his opponents. He stayed calm regardless of the insults hurled his way.

I actually asked my son this same question. He says the kids believed he spoke to them vs spoke down to them. He says on campus everyone love him or hate him knows his organization and what they stand for.

The message is what those with common sense already know to be true.

Charlie was brave enough to go into the fray and debate knowing he would be attacked for it (at the beginning verbally)

Young men and women gravitated to him because he spoke up and fought the foolishness that is the left for them. It gave them the strength to get out of the shadows and fight themselves. He spoke what they were thinking.

And exactly the type of mind virus he warned against is what killed him.

In the end he was Proven Right in that his message was that schools, msm, and leftist ideology is full of hate that warps the minds of youth.

He just had a way of connecting with them. They know that what he was saying was the truth because he was speaking from his heart

Definitely the message. Because the same message is being delivered from other people and the same hatred is always evident.

Neither. It was Jesus' message. And if you argue with that you're arguing with CK himself.

I think it was message. Mostly everything that Charlie Kirk stood for was common sense. It's not rocket science. He believed in social norms and good vs. evil. This country has lost all forms of common sense because the radical left refuses to accept societal norms because they feel like they should be able to decide on every aspect of their/our lives. He was standing up to the crazies and making them explain their positions.

Another reason for his popularity, IMHO, was that he was not afraid to debate. The social media algorithms love disagreement. Disagreement=clicks/views. Clicks/Views=$$$. The media and algorithms is the root cause of the divisiveness in our country. Media companies realized that they can profit more from targeting their audience. However, when you do that, you lose the perspective of the opposite side.
