Fascist pro-Trump political operative Charlie Kirk, 31, was shot to death Wednesday afternoon on the campus of Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, as he was addressing a crowd at an open-air event.
Kirk was the founder and leader of Turning Point USA, a fascist youth group that has been active on college campuses promoting white supremacy and hatred of immigrants and leftists. After playing a major role in Trump’s 2024 election campaign, including a prime speaking slot at the Republican National Convention, Kirk became a powerful advisor to the new administration, vetting cabinet nominees for their acceptability to Trump’s fascist “base.”
Tap the breaks. Kirk was a vile little shit who died with a slur on his lips.
But his death doesn’t change anything. He’s not a billionaire, just a bagman. And there’s a legion of greedy racist shits eager to take his job.
Kirk will be fully forgotten in another couple of years, except perhaps as a face in an ironic meme. The MAGA movement will keep rolling on, like a katamasi of shit.
Remember Andrew Breitbart?

Stop raping the people! You freaks! You filthy freaks! You filthy, filthy, filthy, raping, murdering freaks!
Would admittedly have been even funnier if Kirk had just suffered an aneurysm during his hate-rant. But having a groyper ventilate his neck in the middle of a slur is a pretty high bar on its face.
Idk, I could see him becoming a martyr… not because he deserves it, or because anybody thinks he should be, but because using martyrs for propaganda is definitely popular with leaders of extreme movements. Martyrs can be held up as shining examples of devotion to followers, while at the same time showing how vile their opponents are. And the best thing: they are dead. So they can stand for anything you want without objections.
Look at Horst Wessel. He was an unimportant pimp and a fascist piece of shit. Nazis are singing his song to this day in Germany, even though it’s punishable with jail time.
Maybe. I suspect we’ll get a Trumpian “I like the right-wing agitators who don’t get shot” attitude down the line. But Christian Fascists could use another bloody shirt to wave.
Sure. Or Ashli Babbitt, a dipshit who got domed trying to climb through a window during the J6 capital siege.
I guess time will tell. But fascists tend to prefer dishing it out over taking it.
