What shocked me about Charlie Kirk's murder is that he was generally known as the tiny-face-meme-guy, not some sinister figure. Of all major RW figures in 2025, he was literally the last I expected to be assassinated. It's like if a rightist went and murdered Will Stancil.

Then he was actually killed and lefties immediately retconned him from lolcow (in normie liberal circles) to giga-Nazi to retroactively excuse it, when they weren't (successfully and at the highest levels of media!) lying that he was murdered by a MAGA groyper.

Some e-Right have pointed out that Kirk wasn't really /our guy/ [though he was coming around on some things by the end], he was a normie evangelical Republican, which is true, but that only makes his killing more shocking.
