Imo this is arguable, because there was really nothing special about charlie kirk. He was a cog in a machine that will be quickly replaced. The real impact of the assassination will come from people's reaction to it, not the lack of charlie kirk.
He was described as having better access than Republican senators. He had the ear of the president. He had millions of followers. They are flying the flag at half mast. The president called him legendary. Look at the outpouring of support for his family.
What do you mean there was nothing special about him? Prior to his death he was considered in the top5 important people to the maga movement. Stop living in ignorance and look around you.
Ok, so now there's gonna be a new top 5 important maga person. And guess what, they're gonna do all the same shit charlie kirk did. None of this is new. These ideologies don't need these specific assholes to spread.
No, I'm sorry. There wasn't anything special about charlie fucking kirk. He was a shithead who spread hate, and now he's a corpse. What is it you think is so special about him? What is his magic gift that no other right wing grifter can replace?
I wouldnt say he is on the level of hitler (dont get me wrong he was trying). But there is a push and pull on his murder, but I agree I dont know if he hadnt outlived his usefulness and now he will try to be a spark on a tinder box.
