    unfortunately I don’t think so…

    I don’t think they actually care about Charlie Kirk at all… half of maga hated kirk. Laura Loomer was bashing kirk while he was alive (obviously for very different reasons than us).

    His value to maga just went up massively BECAUSE HE’S DEAD. They’ve wanted to crack down on free speach in the left for ages, but they’ve lacked the right hook. They wanted to do it with Luigi and Brian Thompson… but sadly they realized that average american’s were very familiar with the predatory nature of the health insurance industry, and even brainwashed right wing maniacs have horror stories involving health insurance.

    Kirk is a pawn, they aren’t trading their values of free speech to protect Kirk. Removing free speech was their values, and Kirks assassination is an excuse to make it happen. If we gave trump a time machine to go back and save Kirk, he’d absolutely turn down the opportunity.
