Sure man. Im not saying this to be snarky, and given you didn’t follow him - I get why you don’t understand.. but Charlie Kirk being assassinated is a massive deal. The way he was assassinated, even more. The lefts reaction, even more. You severely underestimate this moment and what he A) meant to young people and B) his killing invoked in normies and C) how much his killing flipped a switch on the right Edited September 18 by SCBills
Andy1 Posted September 18 Posted September 18 Well, it looks like the party that was all opposed to cancel culture is all about it now. Interesting, but not surprising. Such is the stupid times we live in. 1

They have made it very clear that they will cheer on the suppression of any political enemy through any means necessary. They ignore the courts and laws. Trump is participating in open bribery with Qatar and UAE and no one cares. "Normies" have moved on. It's just you that are still screaming and flailing.

Such is the stupid times we live in. It's amazing. I get the reaction to the abhorrent comments and glee over the murder made on social media. I don't begrudge private actors acting as they wish relative to those comments. ABC can to the same, I suppose. But, objectively, I don't think what Kimmel said merited ABC's overreaction. It was political commentary, and it's arguably true. 1
boyst Posted September 18 Posted September 18 Holy ***** you folks are arguing this like there isn't 1 simple truth. Kimmel wasn't drawing money the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. About 1.5mm people were watching him. It was just a good reason to cancel his show. The next one I'm curious will be Stern. But , he still draws money Sirius barely has but his demographic is all too old to make a dent. He is Imus. I was a mega stern fan when he was funny and liked Kimmel a whole lot too 1

Whatever you say. My entire social media timeline (mix of NY and GA/SC) has people posting Charlie Kirk clips. People I’ve never seen say something political in my life. And because that’s anecdotal, I gave you actual numbers… voter registrations, vigils, church attendance, TP USA new chapters. You can play it off, but the Turning Point growth alone will have lasting effects. 1
SectionC3 Posted September 18 Posted September 18 41 minutes ago, Roundybout said: It does not require an apology and it was quite funny. Snowflake MAGAs have zero humor if it doesn’t involve the screaming chick from 2016. I didn't find it funny. But it's arguably true. The murder is being politicized by some (including Trump, from this vantage point), and it appears that the murderer was a child of MAGA parents.

How TF do u keep saying this after what we witnessed the last 10 years?? Trump was spied on, prosecuted ad nauseam, fake impeached, deplatformed from social media, almost assassinated twice.... all because the opposing party didn't like him. Were you the least bit worried while all that was going on?

What on Earth does Ben & Jerry's have to do with this Let me guess, the Dems approval rating has increased after the Kirk Assassination and the flooding in Texas with a DEI reformed Fire Department Leadership.

Probably the same place you got those numbers. For instance, how are there 54,000 new chapters if there are only 5,500-odd colleges in the USA?

The kid comes from a MAGA family and grandma didn't know any Democrats in the family. Also, when asked about his grieving, Trump quickly changed the subject to his waste of money ballroom that nobody but him thinks is a good idea. There you go.

Okay, there are 27,000 high schools in the US. So, you're at 32,000, assuming EVERY ONE OF THEM got a new chapter. See how this falls apart?

His parents and friends said he went left and became more political. He had a transgender boyfriend and said he did it for him. He said he hated everything he stood for. You are going to sit here and say he was MAGA?

Yes, im sure some of them come from people at the same colleges and high schools. Currently Turning Point has 900 chapters. And they were able to move Gen Z massively to the right.
