False flag is exactly what this is.

I’d be shocked if this wasn’t a decision directly from Trump and his magat minions they follow him around to distract from Epstein and further slide America in the hell hole of fascism that it’s facing.

Hurry up Americans. You won’t have an America soon at this rate.

Line item number 2.

No way in fuck they purposely had Kirk assassinated.

  1. His job as a propagandist / hate spreader is way too important and influential to stop
  2. they could’ve martyred a similarly famous, but less influential, republican and gotten the same response
  3. they’re going to go forward with their plan- they don’t need an excuse
  4. this happened in a red state, why wouldn’t they pick a blue state?
  5. I really don’t think Epstein files matter that much for republicans. A video could come out of Trump raping a child and it would be chalked up to ai and they wouldn’t believe it
  6. the news cycle is so short- this won’t remain a hot topic for a long amount of time

It’s a convenient distraction, sure, but it’s been proven time and time again that they don’t need distractions to carry out policy. If there’s any conspiracy to be had, it would be surrounding the (relatively) unanimous rhetoric that his death was a tragedy. When kids die in Gaza everyday, a regular citizen is shot, or someone kills themselves because of financial strain we don’t debate the morals of their unjust death. However when a famous white man is killed he isn’t just a statistic but an example of how awful people can be.

I doubt it too, but you are exaggerating this man's importance and influence to an absurd degree. He'll be replaced by another grifter in weeks.

I think Kirk was a major reason for an uptick in republican youth voters because he was so famous on social media. I’ve noticed young men my age, who vote democrat, like a reel featuring Charlie Kirk because he “owned a silly lib” in an amusing way. His job was touring college campuses- upon invitation from college students- to spread hate and try to convince young people that their politics and identity were wrong.

I would compare him to Andrew Tate because they spread a relatively similar sermon of hate and individualism, but Tate isn’t a political activist. He doesn’t bring people to the polls like a Charlie Kirk can. Another comparison would be Trump, but Trump can never relate to the youth because he’s still just an old man.

I agree he’ll get replaced and this won’t really slow down the machine, but the man had quite the impact on young people.

Yeah, agree. They could have offed Laura Loomer for a tenth of the price and worked just as much viral juice out of it.

Besides, i really don’t care, do u?

You’re one level too low.
