Some on the right are hoping Charlie Kirk's murder will fuel a conservative wave

At least according to USA today.

These people are sniffing each other's farts. Kirk was only popular with a niche group.

As always, "It's the economy stupid."

There’s never gonna be a “conservative wave”. Because Americans are basically progressive people. What they are doing now is trying to repress us, not convince us of anything.

Kirk was no prophet but a hatemonger. And any called xtian that deifies him is blasphemous in my opinion.

But thoughts and prayers to Kirk and their hope that his death will mean anything electorally!

some little right-wing conservative, and some Republicans think this will fuel a conservative wave. A wave of more conservatives killing each other? Weirdos

The only Kirk worth remembering has a Captain in front of his name.
