In less than seven months since, they can't even fill floor seats for the Vice President who in most recent polling has an 84% approval rating (Among Republicans).

This video is as bad as the Biden campaign rally videos.

Charlie Kirk's organization has been dismantled and destroyed and it took six months.

There is a cold hard truth here and that truth is that assassinations work.

True story which is why they tried to take out GEOTUS twice.

TPUSA won't be around in a couple years as they've lost their direction and Charlie's wife has some skeletons we have yet to learn about.

I imagine they will rebound if they find the right person to push it again. Having a grieving wife isn’t the answer, especially for an organization that was making real inroads with college males. I don’t think it’s over for them, but definitely in the valley. Kirk was getting into his 30s and at some point would have needed to hand off the portions to the next generation.

Yeah. TPUSA will never be the same without Charlie Kirk. It was a good try to keep it going, but will never be the same.

But also it’s the vp on a single random event with who knows what context

In a silo I’m not terribly stressed here

If that’s what a campaign rally tour looks like consistently that’s different

He was so the face of it.

It’s like a rock band losing their singer.

We will see if they find an appropriate next step but often part of the answer is giving some time and space and not racing into the next stadium tour 5 minutes later

Bullshiite. If Candace and her merry band of grifters had not started in on the Erika Kirk BS, this wouldnt be the case.

Rs had the youth vote in the palm of our hand and we fricked it up because of our stupid podcast influencers

So???! .she is just a figure head. Making it all about her, which is what Candace did was stupid and wrong.

The movement could have continued on inertia alone, but no, we had to promote the most stupid people and their stupid conspiracy theories.

Until you can call out Candace and anyone who supports her, you are part of the problem.

Because everyone feels the same way about JD but few are man enough to say it.

He’s compromised.

This is the problem with creating a movement/organization based around a cult of personality more than reasoned principles.

Principles out last our meat suits.

Movements based on people cease when that person stops (death or otherwise)

Beyond fronting TPUSA, though, Charlie was really gifted at keeping all of the factions of the right together. It would have been wild to see him try to do it with this Iran conflict.

There are a lot of people with recent confusion over what a doctor is who need to understand that comment.

It would have certainly been a test of him to avoid hypocrisy while also avoiding whatever it is Tucker and Candace are doing.
