He's not, and they know it. Pretending he's a martyr for as long as they can is rhetorically useful to them.

He isn't and everyone knows it. It's what used to be trolling except it has now become a core principle and they are a full two or three generations into believing their own bullshit. It's like that guy who loves banter until you hit him with a slapper and it's a "he's gonna fight you in the parking lot" kind of situation but he called security and told them threats had been made and the cops are getting involved but it's ok because a few days later he got stabbed 7 times in Lovejoy NY for talking shit in a pool game and all was right with the world.

Sorry I got lost on that one but you get the point.

Let's go down the list:

1. They were both shot and killed.

That's the list.

Someone probably equates the political nature and him being white to what happened to MLK Jr.

Releasing the files was one of Charlie last wishes.

They both got shot, apparently, is the link. He was their guy, and he got shot. Therefore, he’s just like MLK! /s

Wow is that the original? I think we’re on volume 50 right now

He got some youths interested in politics

I think that's it

He had a dream that america becomes like in the handmaid's tale.

I'll be honest, outside of Reddit/Lemmy I know exactly nothing about him. I just always assumed he was yet another far-right extremist podcaster. Like Andrew Tate, but allowed to be in the US. Side note, it took me forever to figure out who Andrew Tate was, because I think people thought I was trolling when I asked "who is this dork?".

There was a republican politician who wanted to take back the word Nazi like how black people use the N word. We are at the point in society where calling someone a Nazi, or a fascist, is not the worst thing you can do. In fact, it encourages the bootlicker to double down on their rhetoric.

The US Republicans and moderates welcomed fascism. How convenient as it's at a time where mostly all WW2 vets have passed away. The irony of their grandchildren welcoming the same evil they fought against.

Umm, they were already kind of doing that

Conservative, not Republican. Wilson, a Democrat and tied with Jackson for worst president ever, though Trump is working towards that but I digress. Wilson is responsible for authoring Southern Revisionist History, the refounding of the KKK, and all those Confederate statues that we finally started tearing down.

It's going to be relentless. Right now, some washed up pop-country knobhead is probably in the studio recording The Ballad of Charlie Kirk.

Until the next one who has been preaching violence gets a taste of it.

Putting Charlie Kirk's giant face up across the street from the MLK memorial would be a real "What do they stand for?" moment for generations to come.

Someone's gonna shoot the statue in the neck

I mean sure but we knew that back in January of 2017

Those are actually just pictures of him.
