Dude, I had never even HEARD of this guy’s name prior to his death. What is going on here!? Why are people freaking out. Am I that out of touch?

Even my liberal wife was aware of who this guy was. Was anyone else like me?

I know who Ben Shapiro is. But Charlie Kirk!? This entire time both the left and the right either hates or adored this guy? What are you all surfing on your cell phones!?

    To me he was the guy who popped up in youtube shorts once in a while always telling some college student they were wrong about something. I thought he seemed a little… Not open to listening to a counter argument. He seemed like he had his responses prepared and would railroad over most of these kids before they finished talking. Not to mention… Kids. I never saw him debate any older folks. Maybe he’s really good at that, too and I just missed it.

    After the news I did a search, filtered out the days after his death. Found his podcast listened to a couple episodes and pretty quickly decided that I don’t hate people in the same sense he seemed inclined to. Lots of antiblack antigay talk that just did not mesh for me.
