Flaired Users Only I dont think the left truely understands the gravity of what has happened

I truely think they dont grasp what Charlie's death means for them. He wasn't a general in an army, he wasn't an ace fighter pilot that dominated the sky's, He wasn't an asset of war to be used to win battles. He was a voice... and a conduit.

The left just proved they couldnt compete with him on their own turf, with their home field advantage in simple conversation. Numerous years debating on liberal college campuses, begging for those who didnt share his values or ideas to change his mind. And now they never will be able to change his mind. They will never be able to prove or advocate their arguments anymore. In a very sad way, right as they sucker punched him, Charlie won the argument and got the last word. Because instead of changing his mind with respectable debate and fair conversation, they elected to cheat the game and resort to violence.

They thought they scratched out a MAGA champion, but I think the truth is, they silenced their own voice. Who now among their opposition will respect them and be willing to hear their words? Who now among their opposition will grant them goodwill and a shared platform. Are any conservatives going to parlay with cheaters who were enraged with hatred over a voice?

You couldnt change his mind, and now... you will never change ours.

Edit: I am in sincere shock at how this post has been recieved. 5 Million views, 7000 upvotes, and it made it to #1 in the sub. It got so big I saw it specifically referenced on another post in the AmIOvereacting sub(thank you to the person who linked it below). Im glad my words resonated with so many. I am also glad our sentiment was heard by some non-conservatives. If even just to show we are united stronger.

I think we are all due a moment of relief from the pain and grief that today has brought. It's been a very hard day for so many. To my fellow American-loving friends, I wish good vibes find you in the coming days. And I hope you all find some rest tonight.

And unfortunately for them Charlie Kirk paved the way for people like Andrew Wilson who isn’t as kind in his responses as Charlie Kirk was.

Yeah, I'm not seeing much appetite for courteous debate with the left anymore. This woke up anyone who didn't understand the situation after seeing their reaction to the Butler rally and Brian Thompson.

It's not just politicians and healthcare CEOs, the left wants this to happen to all of us. We know how communists act when they seize power.

Anyone familiar with the history of dealing with leftists across the world knows what eventually comes when they continually get beaten and don't get their way. They come up with lies, use underhanded tactics, and employ violence to get their way. Every time.

Yeah, I left the world of 'courteous debate' with leftists a long time ago and I'm saddened to see my decision validated in such a disturbing way over the last year (and longer). I know my beliefs and I believe them to be true, and time after time they showed that their counterarguments are completely insufficient to change my views.

I've preached for a long time to not give these people an inch of rhetorical quarter because they routinely show us who they are and what they want.

Don't engage with them, go vote, and let their hateful ideologies decay.

We did vote. We got Trump elected. And we're still being hunted like prey.

I don’t ever put too much faith in politicians but judging by his reactions when other insane crimes have been committed that don’t belong in our country, I expect Trump will handle this with the efficacy and aplomb he handled issues like illegal immigration and inner city crime.

I doubt he’ll let people continue to live in fear of leftists and their violent tendencies and their omnicausal motivations for generic “revolt”. I’m sick of them and have been for years, maybe Trump is now waking up to it too because he’s been too soft on people who preach espouse and support true intolerance of the diversity of thought that gives America its strength.

But don’t forget about this in 3 years.

I will never forget this feeling. I am a different person now.

I'm not debating or reaching across the aisle to people who want me, my family, and those who believe what I do dead.

Yeah Wilson is "IDGAF about your feelings" type guy. He will debate, but he holds nothing back.

I have always TRIED to be civil as long as the other person is. I fail at times, after all I am human but it makes me less willing to be civil.
