Somehow despite the constant news coverage being blasted all over the wire I still can't stop thinking of him as an irrelevant loser.

Number of times I have heard the name Charlie Kirk:

Previous 50 years: -

Past 48 hours: *****************************************************************

Maybe that's because we're Canadian? I already knew about turning point USA, it's huge and apparently a huge reason Trump got so much more of the young vote this time.

I did eventually find out who he was thanks to Justin Ling's write-up which is pretty good: https://www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/who-was-charlie-kirk-anyway

Quite a story, but even so the earth-shaking implications of his death seem to me much exaggerated by many.
