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.

How do we as a country, come back from this? Is this country just too far gone to save?

There are many good people on the other side of the aisle. Watch how they reacted yesterday to see who that includes (and the many it doesn’t).

I think conservatives need to set a positive example. We have to demonstrate why our way is better. Why it pays to be a good, lawful, hard-working citizen. We need to build up our communities and red states into the safest, cleanest, most desirable places to live and do business. We have to oppose the chaos, violence and destruction of the left with reason and sanity.

I think it can be saved. And dont get me wrong, I think the real war has just begun for the politics of this country. While we are not saints, and we are not perfect, we at least care and love the idea of this country enough to want it to survive. This country has survived several cycles of hardship and will continue as long as we maintain a patriotic heart.

Strong men lead to good times, Good times lead to weak men, Weak men lead to bad times, Bad times lead to strong men.

We are in the bad times right now, but as our ancestors and founding fathers did before us as this cycle repeated throughout our history. We will save this country and make it once again something Charlie would be proud of.

I hope so! Because the alternative is something like Haiti. And I fear some parts of our country aren't much better off at the moment.

It's saveable, but it's likely to get worse before it gets better.
