Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

Watching the cable news commentary on the bullet engravings is wild because none of these people seem to realize that the content of the engravings are indicative of extremely online meme brain rot

It’s worth noting, some evangelicals and admirers have called Charlie Kirk the MLK of our time. If this is true, then Charlie Kirk was undoubtably right about MLK.

The irony of my fellow believers decrying the assassination of CK as a sign of the hatred the world has for them is that CK was a prime advocate of that very Us vs. Them thinking that got them here in the first place. #weareallus #thereisnothem

Imagine the screaming in the WH is louder than normal today. Longer the FBI fails to find the shooter, the more Q’s start and the less control they have over the narrative. Conspiracy theories are gaining speed.

While we're all discussing how it's wrong to murder someone, let's not forget this:
Democrats are amplifying pressure on the Trump administration to produce evidence that last week’s military strike in the Caribbean Sea killed 11 drug smugglers, as lawmakers from both parties question the legal basis for the surprise use of force.
Democrats pressure Trump to show proof deadly boat strike was legal
The incident has frustrated lawmakers from both parties who’ve questioned why the administration has not publicly disclosed evidence to back up its claims.

I’m serious, Christian explain yourself and your love for this man. Is it only bc he vocally called himself a Christian? Bc rn, his cup appears minuscule.
Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.
The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Spending your professional career arguing for dominion, belittling minority groups, and promoting white christian nationalism is not the definition of “good and faithful servant.” It’s the exact opposite of John 13:35.

I don’t understand why the evangelical church is holding CK up so much. I’ve seen so much footage of his hate, his mocking, his poisoned fruit. I’ve lost respect for so many good, faithful, and kind old friends today calling him a saint and “good and faithful servant.”

Dr. William Foege, 89, who helped end smallpox in the 1970s, recently wrote: RFK Jr.’s “words can be as lethal as the smallpox virus.” And his actions are more lethal still. He’s waging war on America. That’s an impeachable offense. He must be removed from office.
