    Considering the right wing seems to have completely stopped talking about it (and nancy pelosis wrong person I think, the puppy shooting person(s) tweet) I can only assume he was a republican for them to all shut up all of a sudden.

    I said basically the same thing earlier on Lemmy and got called a “both sider” so yeah, we’re fucked, ya’ll are deep in the gravy and need to not just touch grass, you all need to grow grass and dirty your hands in the beautiful topsoil and reconnect with the earth and your own brains.

    He was almost certainly a groyoer tho…

    The term “Groyper” began circulating widely in 2019 during a public feud inside the conservative movement. That year, followers of Nick Fuentes disrupted college events hosted by Charlie Kirk and his group, Turning Point USA, accusing Kirk of watering down Donald Trump’s message.

    The clash, later referred to as the “Groyper Wars,” drew national attention for its confrontational tactics and for pushing white nationalist ideas into more mainstream conservative circles.

    Kirk responded by calling the Groypers extremists. He defended his approach to conservatism as inclusive, saying the movement should be open to people of all backgrounds and reject racism and homophobia.

    https://www.newsweek.com/groyper-charlie-kirk-shooting-nick-fuentes-2129114

    Kirk was just starting his “return tour”, and the guy who shot him was a trump supporter.

    The most likely explanation is he was a groyper

      Is it though? This is all ENTIRELY speculation and smells stinkily like more people trying to “disclaim” him from their “side” and everyone is doing it. It’s the point of this post. Everyone saying everything else ALSO claims to have “most likely explanations” so it’s all entirely speculation and bullshit until I hear verified evidence or an admission, until then you’re all playing internet detective/Q-anoning/thread-linking/conspiracy cosplay.

      Wow. Incorrect from top to bottom. Sit down kid, because I’m only going to explain this once:

      His neck just did that.

      Wow I didn’t know there was specific beef against Kirk to back it up. That’s crazy

        His last words were a racist dog whistle but anyone with an ounce of intelligence already knew Charlie Kirk was a lying piece of shit.

          He’d already said enough racist shit to make it quite obvious.

          But at least he died doing what he loved, advocating for gun violence.

      As much as I would love this, what about the messages on the shells ? Weren’t they clearly antifa ?
