What would Charlie Kirk say about his Death
Spoiler...he'd be okay with it
First, Kirk would blame the Political Left. Why? It’s the Trumpian-MAGA cult thing to so.
Notwithstanding the lack of evidence that the Left had anything to do with an execution style killing that has all the hallmarks of a professional hit; this meme will survive even if the killer is found with GOP voter registration and a roomful of far Right pamphlets and books.
Kirk was shot by a killer from a rooftop from 142 yards away with pinpoint accuracy. I’ve met military snipers, expert marksmen, and a few competitive Olympian shooters and not once discovered a political philosophy that even bumped into the political center…they are virtually all ultra-conservatives.
Second, Charles Kirk also had no issues with gun violence. Gun deaths, to Kirk, were worth the costs year in and year out so we could have the Second Amendment to protect our other rights. That is not a convenient paraphrasing of his words…those are almost his exact words.
So, except for the fact that he’s dead and has a grieving widow and children without a father, Charlie Kirk would arguably be okay with the event. Not so much the dead part, though.
Third, as to the unanimous outpouring of support for Kirk’s family and condemnation of gun violence from Democrats, progressives, and liberals, Charlie Kirk would be less than a fan.
“I can’t stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term — it does a lot of damage.”
Charles Kirk hated empathy, Muslims, Immigrants, LBGTQ people, Minorities, feminism, reproductive freedom…. If it wasn’t racist, sexist, or a far-Right viewpoint, Kirk was virulently opposed to it.
Ever since the Kennedy assassination, we, as a society, have tried to get some sort of explanation as to motives for these kind of killings.
But Lee Harvey Oswald was murdered. Matthew Crooks was killed, too. With few exceptions, shooting suspects are killed as part of law enforcement SOP.
Oh…occasionally, we get someone so deranged or unrepentantly racist who survives that SOP, but mostly we have forensic psychiatrists and psychologists giving us the shrug that leads to where we are now (the Left is being blamed) or down some conspiratorial rathole.
To those who seem fixated on blaming the Left, I’d ask this. How exactly does it benefit us to kill Kirk? He was a fountain of fundraising for Democrats. Attacking Kirk and his ilk was for lack of decent messaging all we had.
The person who does benefit from this is Donald Trump. The killing will cover to Epstein, the economy, the Epstein files, Ukraine, NATO, ICE, the Epstein cover-up, bad economic data, the Epstein victim list, the misuse of National Guard units in LA, DC, and other places, and of course, evidence of the children Donald Trump raped at Jeffrey Epstein’s parties.
There has been a ready army of Trump minions who have been ready, willing, and able to commit acts of violence and intimidation of Donald Trump’s behalf.
The FBI has already fumbled this case enough to give a professional killer a clean getaway. The FBI has gone from a 3-D Chess Grandmasters to a private police force made of Keystone cops during Trump’s second term. Which is great for Trump since it keeps the “this was an act by a radical Leftist” meme fully intact.
And just like the faux assassination attempt in Butler, PA; Donald Trump will grift Charlie Kirk’s death for his own benefit and the lack of either answers or justice will be a triviality.
And, it will give the GOP a little oomph to motivate its base to turn out electorally.
