America’s in trouble if it’s at the political killings stage now (or, hopefully, merely attempted - hopefully not fatal in this case, though it’s not looking good). You don’t have to have any opinion on Charlie Kirk at all to know this is very bad, and not to be celebrated in any way whatsoever, even by those who vehemently disagree with him.

It’s worth saying by the way, MAGA love him but he’s a straight up socially conservative campaigner and orator who speaks for a genuine section of American society and he would have had a profile whether or not Trump and MAGA was a thing. He’s toured in the UK as well. He isn’t a MAGA clone.

I don’t think it helps to conflate Kirk with ‘Trump 2.0’ as he was a thing before Trump and (perhaps) will be after Trump.
