Dude, I had never even HEARD of this guy’s name prior to his death. What is going on here!? Why are people freaking out. Am I that out of touch?

Even my liberal wife was aware of who this guy was. Was anyone else like me?

I know who Ben Shapiro is. But Charlie Kirk!? This entire time both the left and the right either hates or adored this guy? What are you all surfing on your cell phones!?

    I heard of him, but never thought he was this damn important. And this is why the censorship campaign is so frustrating to me. For anyone who hasn’t heard of him, he was not “doing politics the right way”.

    Charlie Kirk was a bigot.

    Charlie Kirk was a bigot. Charlie Kirk was a bigot. Charlie Kirk was a bigot.

    All the firings and censorship and hand-wringing about “lowering the temperature” do not change this simple fact.

    Charlie Kirk was a bigot.

      He wasn’t that important, he’s being used to create more terror on avg people who didn’t give a shit about him. Fuck Charlie, he got what he literally asked for.
