Don't think about how you believe she would feel.

Remembering that empathy does not have to necessarily include sympathy, is that how you would feel if you honestly put yourself in her shoes?

    I would not be behaving anything like she is behaving in response to losing a loved one.

    Really.

    The point isn't to feel bad for her or excuse her behavior or even try to understand it.

    It's an attempt to get people to think critically and understand she's basically a place holder. The people who created Charlie Kirk and TPUSA are still alive and well even if he's not.

    It doesn't really matter how you feel about her, you should understand that once she's served her purpose they'll just be replacing her with somebody else. They're probably currently scouting out the next Charlie Kirk as I'm typing this, if they haven't already found him. If they have already selected him, they're probably already working on creating his new brand and helping him rehearse his talking points.

    Or you know, don't bother to think critically and keep believing the lady in sequins is the brains behind creating the next Hitler Youth. Whatever floats your boat 🚢

    Tennessee will partner with conservative nonprofit founded by Charlie Kirk:Every Tennessee high school will have Club America, officials announce.
