I know why you hate Kirk and are happy he’s dead. I remember quite well you defending child grooming.
It’s not gonna lick itself, right? You disgusting pervert.
Decent, normal people need to avoid you and more importantly, keep their kids from you.

He had a huge following with young people, especially young males. I think what the vast majority of people don’t realize was how instrumental he was in the grass roots voter drives in swing states for 2024. Turning Point was going city to city, town to town, getting young conservatives registered for the 2024 election. If you have time, watch his stream from election night and the morning after. They talk a lot about the massive amount of hours spent driving up registrations for the conservatives.

If it weren't for tiktok I wouldn't know much about him. But I've followed his account and The Charlie Kirk Show account for years watching his debates.
He was a truly good man just spreading the word that you can have a difference of opinion without hate and educating people along the way.
Was secretly hoping for a Kirk/Owens presidential run in the future.

All else aside, if you followed the last election at all, you should have heard of him.

I only saw shorts of him speaking before this, so I vaguely knew who he was.

On election night '24, I'd been doing a lot of bouncing around to different online coverage. Charlie's Rumble was one of them. When the votes started coming in, it quickly became apparent to me that his team were REALLY well-versed in what was happening in Battleground states. Given that they were effectively a third-party campaign, they had relevant data that others just didn't have. It was far more than "oooo he/she won/lost that district that's good/bad." Even from the most well-known online political figures, the coverage was little more than superficial observation. The guys at TPUSA had reams of data on the history of voting trends, the breakdowns of newly registered voters, polling data etc. They were able to drill down to damn near every area of all the battleground States and knew exactly how things were shaping up before others. I spent the last 3 hours of the night just watching him.
As I said in another thread, Charlie wasn't just the next Rush Limbaugh. He was the next Rush Limbaush combined with the next Lee Atwater.

I remember seeing a clip of who I think was Charlie maybe 7-8 years ago, and I tuned out pretty quick because he was just one of those people who was working from a script, and either had a fast and flippant answer to everything, designed to dismiss the person asking the question, or he answered a question with another question. The dialog really wasn't designed to get to the bottom of any of the issues, or get to any solutions. It was just argument for the sake of it. I never took the time to learn his name.
I retrospect, I have concluded he was just building his brand and taking advantage of the current political climate to monetize it, the way so many others are these days. There still was no interest in getting to solutions.
That's not a value judgment, just an observation.
I put two and two together when I heard about the killing, but in reality, my first thought was, "who is Charlie Kirk"?

And what of all of the thousands who showed-up, in-person, to hear him speak? Are you posting on-line, on a message board? Do you watch TV, have a cell phone, watch rectangles? Just because you are dense doesn't mean that people knew who he was are habitual on-line addicts.
With everything in life, moderation is key.

That certainly is one perspective.
However, what is really sad is that it’s your only perspective.
You should get out of your self at least a little bit sometimes and try to see things from the perspective of others.
It will broaden your mind and help you understand the world much better.

In his world, radicalized means they didn't want to groom kids.
He's a sick frick. He is one of those millions of progressives that got off seeing Kirk's kids at the scene of the shooting.

He was mostly a younger conservative phenomenon, although he was on Fox quite a bit. My 75 yr old dad didn't know who he was.
He was largely responsible for GenZ men moving to the right in huge numbers. I think killing him will move more.

Kirk wasnt radical, he was mainstream social conservative.
You are so far left you have lost sight of the center.

I'm very pro-Trump and right leaning but have seen him in scrolling here and there. I wasn't a daily consumer of his. Still though, I felt personally attacked by his murder. Straight up terrorism.

That's me described in a simple sentence. I'd never heard of the guy before he was shot and killed a few days ago.
The only "sites" I respond to involve things I am fond of doing-----motorcycling, gardening, darts, boxing and Tiger Droppings, and that's about it for my seeking things out on the net.
Everything else I do is functional stuff like bill paying, e-mail, banking, etc.

Didn't know him either until he got rightfully dragged for wearing ear plugs to a college football game last year.
