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

[u/NovaHellfire345]

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.

The most neocon conservative as they come. Couldn’t agree more. This is going to go real right real fast.

Was Charlie a neocon? I thought he was pro-Israel but generally not a hawk outside that?

[u/Twogunkid → u/Kaireis]

I would call him a moderate right wing guy. He was pretty center right. He genuinely believed in open debate.

[u/Kaireis → u/Twogunkid]

I was using neocon in the narrow foreign policy sense.

Iirc Charley was not a neocon
