Most of the general public is not interested in politics, do not follow it, do not care to understand the details. Before his death, most didn't know who he was. Even in this US Political thread, some have never heard him speak. It is a small segment of college aged adults that know of him as he tours around.
The Republicans, through Kirk and others, feel young men at universities are struggling and want to give them direction. So they have events and young men attend and listen. Now many here may say it's evil and disinformation but watch the video i posted earlier of just a normal event that was happening every day, not gotcha videos or headlines on social medial... Charlie Kirk destroyed blah blah blah. Watch a full show and judge for yourself. I mean at least these are solutions, even if you disagree. Where are the democrat activists, why are they not on college campuses?
You can't just look at one part of who he is and decide "ya, it's fine". That video may be, but it's also a technique to appear reasonable, bring people into your influence circle, and that's where you mould them into little hate-warriors.
They've had years to work on these techniques, you can't just be blind to what happens below the surface.
I see that Trump has already started to preemptively dismiss any radical right-wing nutjob who does something horrible in the future. They're just good guys fighting crime. Nothing to see here. The real problem are those radical woke lefties!
when asked by Fox's Ainsley Earhardt — who suggested there were radicals on both extremes of the political spectrum — what could be done to "fix this country."
"I'll tell you something that's gonna get me in trouble but I couldn't care less," said Trump. "The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don't want to see crime. The radicals on the left are the problem."
To distract from another right wing terrorist they should release the Epstein files, it would only be prudent in order to take the microscope away from violent right wing groups/actors tied to the maga movement.

So does that mean Trump will give him a medal of honour? It must be so confusing to be far right.
Actually there's one more detail, he seemed to have 4chan memes engraved on the bullets, suggesting his political leanings were actually extreme right, i.e. Nick Fuentes and the groypers, who were critical of Charlie Kirk for being "too moderate". The motive was probably to start a culture war and 'frame' the left.

I think the best way to honor fallen American HERO Charlie Kirk would be to release the Epstein files.
It's what Charlie wanted

Kash Patel is way out of his depth. At this morning's press conference, he's looking at the camera and talking directly to the now deceased Charlie Kirk, he says
"rest now brother, we have the watch." And "we will meet again in Valhalla".
I find Kash Patel unintentionally hilarious, "This Is What Happens When You Let Good Cops Be Cops" ... C'mon Kash, just give the $100K reward to the kid's dad and return to your Tony Montana sized pile of coke.

Agreed. Couldn't help but laugh thinking of him trying to conduct the investigation after letting go all the actual competent FBI officials. Probably just spent the last two days looking at 4chan and asking chatgpt questions.

Fuentes and his group didnt like kirk at all. And looking more and more like this shooter was caught up in it...they groomed him, so to speak

"When pundits and politicians and people in power claim to oppose political violence, what they actually mean is that they simply oppose violence that threatens them and their power. The daily political violence that millions of americans have to endure through incarceration, our for-proit insurance system, neglect, deportation, police brutality and on and on and on, doesn't count."
