Nick Fuentes if you want to really get down and dirty.


Well you need to find someone who doesn’t get down into the name-calling gutter, if you want someone who was like Kirk.

Charlie Kirk was about calm discussion and didn’t engage in childish and over-emotional garbage.

ETA: I don’t know if that person is even out there in this political environment of wanting to just always throw insults at the other side and everyone obsessed hot take tweets and crap.

If there is someone, it is probably his wife. Of course, que those in the MAGA movement who believe women shouldn’t have a role in such matters.

Bingo. Get someone who was like Kirk to carry on his work.

His wife Erika. She is the only one who would not break the connection between Charlie and the generation that so admired him. She would be the emotional and physical connection that bonded him to his followers.
She would continue his message almost uninterrupted and they would accept her because of her closeness to him. No one else could do that.

Giving his show to Ben Shapiro


Most people cant stand Shapiro.
Dude doesnt come off as genuine.
Never says anything bad about isreal either.
Dude is a shrill.

No one can replicate what Charlie Kirk did.
He was very effective with his message.

I want Elon to take it over.

Turn it into a grass roots college get out the vote foundation with a goal of finding 1,000 Charlie Kirks.

Fund it with $5,000,000,000 and watch liberals complain


What an amazing idea. Hope someone suggests it to him.

Imagine this simple statement, still giving admiration to what Charlie Kirk did, getting downvoted 4 to 1 on a conservative leaning board. Damn...

Are you surprised he made a vague statement and didn’t answer your question?

Pretty sure that Kirk banned Fuentes from TPUSA events.

Having Fuentes run it would seem to be a slap in the face to CK’s legacy.

Right now, there is probably no one who can assume the mantle. Charlie was unique in his profound methods of debate and knowledge.

His replacement will eventually arise with his/her own set of communicative skills and charisma. Indeed, it is Charlie’s charisma that will be the most difficult trait to replace.

Another treasure has been stolen from America too soon.

It absolutely would be. Nick Fuentes is a smug, entitled piece of shite. Charlie Kirk was none of those things.

Someone can profess things you tend to agree with and still be a horrible human being, and someone can profess things you tend to disagree with and still be a good arse person. Conservatives/libertarians SHOULD view Fuentes as the former, and liberals/leftists should view Kirk as the latter.

How would anyone in PT know? Im sure TPUSA have people who have worked closely with Kirk helping him build the organization. Ask them.

We asked that question here about who would replace Rush Limbaugh on radio. I was doubtful that anyone could do it. Three or four other people were suggested by some posters but none of them panned out.

This may be new age… and I may have been day drinking, but hear me out. Why not let Charlie Kirk take over for Charlie Kirk?

AI has grown so much in recent years. He has such a media presence over a decade. Could it be feasible to train generative AI based on all the public Charlie Kirk media to sustain Charlie Kirk’s legacy?

I would like to see Barron Trump get very involved. I know he really can’t totally expose himself like that but to see him step in beside Erica into a leadership role would be great I think. Barron can relate to the young college age kids.

Not Shapiro. I agree with him probably 75-80% of the time and I still find him off-putting. You don't win people over with smugness.

Andrew Wilson might be too caustic.

Matt Walsh?

After watching Erika kirk last night it's her. To be able to speak in such a powerful and heartful way given the situation was inspiring. How could it be anyone else?
