Ehh. Whichever way he goes, there’s always going to be a “JD had him killed” conspiracy theory.
Comment on I'm so goddamn sick of this fat, orange, narcissistic asshole and I will celebrate when he dies

Only if it’s from natural causes. In case you hadn’t figured it out sooner, he’d otherwise become a martyr. You think the Charlie Kirk stupidity is bad? Imagine how bad it world be if the cult’s object of worship was popped. Such a martyrdom would give the cult something to rally around after his end. If he dies naturally, however, the cult is FAR more likely to descend into infighting with a side of conspiracy theory, and tear itself apart as all the horrible people tried to scramble for whatever they could get by stomping on each other. Cults are complex monsters but have ways to survive the death of their leaders.

Yeah, all the morons were celebrating Kirks death. Making memes and videos and some even calling for the rest of his family to be murdered as well. Even his kids!!! And what happened? His popularity went through the roof. He was just some name before. A talking head that you heard about had said something dumb every now and again. Now everyone knows who he is, and worse those on the right are all singing his praises and turning point USA exploded with millions in donations and over 100,000 requests to start new chapters.
When that dude did take shot at Trump, it only energized and emboldened MAGA and conservatives in general. Contributions, voter turnout, volunteers, all increased dramatically. And, we then had to have that fucking photo plastered everyone afterwards of “triumphant” fist bump right after.
People celebrate this shit, but fuck me, its the worst fucking thing you can do. And history shows this. When MLK was killed, same thing happened. Support for his cause went through the roof. Doing the very opposite of what his killers would have wanted. Gandhi, Harari, Biko, Malcolm X, Kennedy, and many, many more, all killed hoping to achieve one goal, but ending up strengthening the resolve of those they hoped to intimidate or control. Hell, even Caesar’s assassination over 2000 years ago proves this point. They killed him to save the Republic, and in doing so, destroyed the Republic and The Empire was born.
History is clear, just leave people to fuck up on their own. Killing them rarely works.
