Normal people don't know who Charlie Kirk is. My mom, dad, husband, neighbor are very confused why it's such a big deal.
Which is good to remember. He's never done anything notable. Didn't run for office, didn't break a big story, didn't write an important book.
So, for a lot of people this is all very confusing.
@futurebird I knew about him because my 14yr old Australian child told me about him.
My impression is because Kirk was relatively young (31), he was more of a known entity to younger people.
e.g. my child follows progressive commentators on TikTok and Kirk's views were discussed there.
A lot of far right online people were recently VERY mad at him for covering for Epstein among other things.
For left wing online types he was a reliable punching bag, more embarrassing than threatening.
For people who have felt the sweet caress of grass on their feet? They are all saying Who???
Live so that no one writes you a eulogy like this one.
