Top Trump administration officials used Charlie Kirk’s podcast on Monday to threaten a governmental crackdown on left-wing organizations in the name of the slain conservative activist. Administration officials who appeared on the podcast, guest-hosted by Vice President JD Vance, made broad and unsubstantiated claims about their political opponents and alleged that liberal groups were responsible for Mr. Kirk’s death — even though investigators have said they believe that the suspect acted alone.

Hmm yeah I mean if push comes to shove, you can't give in under a fascist regime. People have to stay strong.

I just keep hoping something causes them to crumble from within and leads to something with less chaos.

i think that would be trumps death. there is no named successor. he feels like a stick thats keeping the pasta water from boiling over. theres soo much infighting, theres even been physical fights. kirk might have been a possible choice. he pretended to be an intellectual MAGA, courted the extremist and gave the moderate MAGA talking points to hide behind. now due to current events, he cant be a successor.
