The fallout of the Charlie Kirk assassination
And how the resistance movements against the elites should proceed instead with restraint, patience and polite internet discussions.
A probable purpertrator (Tyler Robinson) was found. Apprehended. Time will tell us about the details.
A death penalty does not seem in order if you ask me. This was a signal of war against the whole Republican Party.
But you got to wonder; grief sticks to the family and close friends of Kirk for the rest of their lives (or for nearly all of them), but the rest of the Republicans have surely started in-depth investigations as to who is behind this; and they will deliver heavier strikes back.
Moral of the story? An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

Let's all remember who Charlie was
Conservative podcasts are frequently cited in studies for spreading false claims
- The Ben Shapiro Show: Cited in a 2024 University of Michigan study for using emotionally charged titles and commentary that, despite being factually grounded, often intensifies partisan sentiments and distrust in institutions.
- The Dan Bongino Show: A popular show that, along with others, was found to have contributed to spreading unsubstantiated and false claims related to the 2020 presidential election.
- Turning Point USA with Charlie Kirk: The podcast and its host, Charlie Kirk, are often criticized for their aggressive commentary and for promoting divisive rhetoric on issues like LGBTQ+ rights.

Trump claimed that “radical left” rhetoric of comparing “wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world’s worst mass murderers and criminals” is “directly responsible for the terrorism that we’re seeing in our country today.”
The President declared that his “Administration will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity and to other political violence, including the organizations that fund it and support it.”
It’s an apparently widely shared sentiment on the right, as popular right-wing figures on social media have echoed messages of resentment for the left after Kirk’s death, and some have called for a heavy-handed response, even likening the current moment to “war.”
“It’s a real treat to see all these Liberals condemn political violence now. You called us Hitler. You called us Nazis. You called us Racists. You have blood on your hands.”
Sorry, don't act like nazi's we won't liken you to them.
“The Democrat Party must be classified as a domestic terror organization and their members & leaders treated accordingly,”
posted conservative political strategist Joey Mannarino. “Enough is enough.”
Far-right radio show host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who was
ordered in 2022 to pay more than $1 billion to the families of Sandy Hook over his claim that the 2012 school shooting that killed 26 people, including 20 children, was fake,
said in a livestream on his InfoWars channel: “This is a war, this is a war, this is a war.”
You sure are acting like nazi's. Right now. Is it illegal to point it out? No wonder you are threatening the media. They better not speak up when they see shady shit. Drain the swamp my ass you stupid right wing Americans.
Some, including President Donald Trump, have called for a crackdown on the left after Kirk’s murder.
