My first thought on reading was "divisive and extremist".
Sad how that bullshit has been mainlined on the right.

(2,795 posts)The vast majority do NOT subscribe to this bullshit, and more and more people are seeing Charlie Kirk for what he was: an Aryan Nations type with a better wardrobe and backing.
After the circus dies down and all the prayer groups and car cruises and rallies are over with and Tyler Robinson's case is done, Charlie Kirk will be forgotten. More and more people are finally seeing what this turd really was. He deserves no more respect than George Lincoln Rockwell, who also met a similar fate.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
