    Sometimes the conspiracy theorists pop out of their echo chamber and make a statement that seems reasonable and widely accepted to them but can only be believed if you first believe 17 layers of propaganda, leaps of logic and generally brainrot. Usually all fed to them by bigots and billionaires.

    They are then surprised by normal people clowning on them and instead of reflecting, they just tell themselves they know something the normies don’t and that makes them special.

      It’s worse than an echo chamber that they have. It’s isolated improv. They aren’t just agreeing, they’re "yes and"ing. Collective world building without critical thought, disagreement, or awareness that it isn’t how reality works.

      I personally dont think this is far fetched. There seems to have been a cover up about his death. The alleged shooter was maga. Kirk was going against Israel, and could have been a significant problem and priority target for israel, but for anyone else, he was just a racist POS, and very low significance, if someone wished to assassinate with goals of slowing maga down.

      However, he was probably quite relevant for young people, so I could see it going either way, but I dont find the theory Israel was responsible is too much of a stretch, and it appears powerful people didnt want the public to learn too much about it.

    I actually thought (I know, I’m stupid) that Candace genuinely cared about Kirk and was genuinely upset she lost her friend.

    But now I see she’s just milking his “legacy” for self promotion and grifting attention, just like the Erika.

        It can be both.

        Intelligence agencies love to gently nudge and provide support to someone who might do their dirty work for them.

        That said it’s way more likely they have kompramat on Trump and also that he is senile and thinks he is back in the 80s during the hostage crisis.

      The poster in the screenshot is a moron. Charlie Kirk was assassinated 2025 Sept. The Iran war was illegally started LITERALLY LAST WEEK. They are trying to weaponize Kirks death and make him relevant again. This is a huge disgrace in my opinion, bc of both the insane time duration b/t Sept 2025 and today, and also completely ignoring the deaths of ACTUAL US SERVICEMEN and SERVICEWOMEN that came about due to this war.

      Edit: the iran war started 2-3 weeks ago. My bard. But my point still stands.

      Klandace thinks it is suspicious that a French woman wears a scarf a lot or that Hitler wouldn’t have been so bad if he just stayed in Germany. Don’t put too much thought into what she says or thinks.

    “And its still the utmost tragedy that he was so mercilessly slaughtered.”

    “And the US soldiers and civilians in Iran that have been killed since the illegal war actually started?”

    “Ehh, these things happen.”
