This is what I was talking to my friends about yesterday once I saw the up-close video of the shooting. I knew, based on that video alone, that something like that was going to spark a massive wave. There is a MAJOR silent majority on the right. You can see it with how voting turned out in the last election. People voted but stayed quiet because they were afraid of being judged for supporting the right. Now, this happened. I feel like this is going to spark an awakening of the silent majority, which both good and bad is going to come out of it.
IMO. Assassinating the loudest young voice on either side of the political spectrum is similar to assassinating the President in todays world. Charlie Kirk was the voice for MILLIONS of young people. His influence alone more than likely swayed the election.
This could be the end of the current political left.. it may not be. But I feel a massive wave of change has to occur on that side of the aisle, similar to the right side of the aisle. Anger is everywhere right now and it's justified. That's what is scary
We have lost our ability to talk to each other. All he did was have challenging conversations and used facts and his beliefs to support his talking points. That is the thread of the America we all grew up in. Debate is one of the most critical elements of College life. A large portion of that died yesterday as now everyone is going to be scared to speak their opinions and have challenging conversations in fear of someone's feelings getting hurt and in turn, killing them.
A new era is upon us and I really have no fucking clue what that is going to look like. I am really scared for my daughter and all the younger generation out there. We ALL can do better and we ALL have to do better, immediately
