Maybe, but it was a rational act with premeditation. Who was the most effective person in breaking through the campus socialist echo chamber - Charlie Kirk
And maybe 10% of the country knew who Charlie Kirk was before today. And now, all the country knows who he was, and many will learn what he was about.
He just became more powerful than they could possibly imagine.
I hope you’re correct, but more likely those who knew who he was are shocked and outraged and saddened. Democrats who knew of him are probably dancing in the streets and the ones who just heard of him today are taking their direction of their despicable elected representatives. Republicans who just discovered his legacy today will probably say, “How awful,” and still find an excuse not to vote in an off year election.
