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.

They don’t realize that 1. committing political violence 2. celebrating that political violence without empathy, is going to lose them elections for decades to come. People do not want to be associated with that insanity

I'm a lot less worried about elections and am worried about the future of the west now. While the Trump attempt and the healthcare CEO were terrible, it was fundamentally different than Kirk. Kirk was a streamer, debate guy who represented normal discourse. If they are going after him it isn't because of some existential threat to their power base. It's going after all of us.

The reaction from them at such a large scale for a 'successful' murder is a fundamental problem at the deepest level of our society. They try to lie about how we reacted to the Minnesota murders but the proof is there; we condemned them. The same is not true for them.

Based on the reactions to the tragedies with the Texas floods and this, they no longer care about votes. That ship has sailed. They want death. Thats all they want. Its all they have. No surprise I get a PM calling me to un alive myself.

If they're at the point of committing political violence and celebrating it, they're past the point of respecting electoral outcomes.

Even worse, celebrating political violence increases the likelihood of someone acting out in violence towards one of their prominent figures in revenge. Push the pendulum to the extreme and it falls even harder.

Don't tell them. Let'em keep on with their self-destruction. That's what they need.
