I'm not super familiar with their organization, but Mr. Kirk used it to get young adults involved. I hope that legacy continues.

Unfortunately the org was just Charlie. Just like Apple was just Steve Jobs.

Steve Jobs gone and Apple is just another company doing nothing innovative anymore.
Charlie gone and TPUSA will slowly fade into obscurity.


Unless...its more like the Apostles. And they will yet choose someone who can somewhat carry on.

Turning point was more than just debating youth. It was And will continue to be a political force in campaigning. Registering new republicans and pushing states like Nevada and Arizona back red

As far as debating, there will most likely be volunteering from major figures and other youth to take it up. And it wasn't all about how good you are and how he connected. It's events to bring college students together to debate and share beliefs. Debate in an open forum

Conservative youth or youth without a place can hear different views other than what their teachers are pushing on them

GOP and the new movement just got stronger. This is a turning point. People are waking up finally on how vile the left are and have become

I hope they do carry on. I worry that they'll radicalize some in response to the murder but I hope that's not the case. I really, really hope that they leave Mr. Kirk's family out of it unless she absolutely wants to be involved.

I could see Vivek if he doesnt win the governors race... or maybe a group including Rylie

Vivek is a manufactured fraud.

I dont trust that guy, at all.

Dont listen to his words...look at his actions, and the person he was before he polished himself up for political reasons. He's an opportunist, plain and simple.

And I dont think he relates to the youth. We need a 25-35 guy speaking out.


Did you trust Trump?

Vivek isn't a fake. Dude is going all out in Ohio. You really think he's going to win and turn into a RINO or soft moderate, really?

Give me your opinion on what he does please, I want to hear it. He's going to win, so most likely you'll be eating crow soon

We have democrat senators, governor and the mayors of the largest cities in Arizona. Trump won in November because Kirk and TPUSA registered 350K new voters. The campus events aren't the most important thing they do.

Exactly. If they actually had good candidates and a honest voting system, Arizona would be red again.

Trump needs to follow through with voter rolls and ending mail ins. Also be needs to get make it a law or something that states must have their totals same GD day

I believe that:

1. With all of the recorded videos, and probably a TON of never before released videos, his voice will not go anywhere.

2. I believe that if God wants this movement to continue, he will provide someone to fill those shoes.

Massive posthumous viewership will benefit MAGA for decades.

And if it takes making Election Day a national holiday to remove that distraction of things compressed into the morning and afternoon for many who prefer to wait till then for any number of reasons, do it. This also follows if you want to start eliminating and cracking down on too many different ways to vote, such as only military should have the overseas option, etc.

You live here too don't you? November was my first election since moving here. I was stunned how lax it was. I live near Gateway Airport and voted at the ASU satellite campus. As I was walking up to the polling place 2 blue haired women carried 2 boxes of ballots out and took them away in a suburban.

Yes, and yet he is a much "sterner" type than Kirk. Couldn't possibly replace him or "stand-in" in similar way with the outreach. Not "light toned" enough.

Oddly enough, and doubtless may be derided, the closest in easy going manner may be Jesse Waters. But only in a vaguely analogous way. Because it Charlie's combination went beyond just a genial manner and body language.

Mr. Kirk was likable in a way that is going to be hard to replace. Too many people fall into the trap of letting their emotions guide their speech toward hate and negativity. We desperately need his type on both sides.

We need a million Charlie's to replace Charlie. The movement is what has to continue.

New leaders emerge. They always will. Keep encouraging the youth to do more like Charlie did.

Oddly enough, on the other thread, this if true --just that may be happening.

First, great to see you back titan. You are a treasure to this board.

That said, my sons are/were huge fans of Charlie. They are sad, they are angry, but they are in it. And they are unafraid.

I keep saying it and will continue - Gen Z boys want their country back!

I am rather withdrawn from the conflict and burdened. I lurk, but not really in an `ongoing way' -- its more a case of check when something really notable happens. (As I have posted, TexAgs is one of the best news aggregators of different views can find with really substantive links) Charlie Kirk's gratuitous murder for being the even-handed outreach just hit too hard. Had to at least weigh in a little.

As for Gen Z, I think Gen X's task will be to help them not "go full" draconian or "re-d" as the Morton Downey Jr meme goes, while also not stopping them. The Radical Marxist benst Left has to be swept away. But try to to not go further than Roman if do. Stay centered on a middle class world view.

Could not agree more titan. As a father I have to take the pulse daily. There is a right way and a wrong way and we are nowhere close to an over reaction. At least I hope.

There's alot of young men in their ranks. Surely some one has the debate chops that Charlie did.


Can you name one other Conservative leader with the intellect and charisma of Charlie Kirk in the last 50 years? Kirk was a rare gift, I fear there won't be anyone to replace him for a very long time.


And that's exactly why he was shot.

The evil left would never be able to win an argument with him. He owned them on thr facts and could articulately spell out his reasoning and do so in a kind manner.

So the murdered him. And now the same people that incited the violence are saying we need to come together in peace and unite as a country..

Finding someone to replace Charlie will be damn near impossible. Those leftist ****ers hit us hard with this one. Charlie is a huge loss!

Brilyn Hollyhand is pretty impressive for his age.

Never heard of him but looked him up as a result of your post. Certainly very charismatic and sharp for his age.

That's an excellent take on Jesse's personality vs. Charlie's. I live Jesse a lot but Charlie was a once in a lifetime man. He was such a force.

Charlie seemed to be a grounded forward thinking man. I would assume there is already a plan in place that helped build which will allow TPUSA to continue its mission. I have to think he knew tomorrow was never guaranteed and a plan needed to be in place in the event of his death or disability.

Hopefully someone who agrees with this:

"We as a culture have to get back to being able to have a reasonable disagreement where violence is not an option."
94chem,
That, sir, was the greatest post in the history of TexAgs. I salute you. -- Dough

Trump? Eating crow? I didn't mention Trump or say he wouldn't win in Ohio. I'm sure he will.

He's very fake. Look at how he made his money, who he used to support, and how he flipped on a dime to take advantage of a situation. Don't listen on his words...look at his actions.

Doesn't matter who helms TP. The message Charlie preached and we all need to take to heart is the responsibility is ours. How we live our lives, how we raise our children.

We lead TP now, not the other way around.

Vivek wouldn't work in this roll. To old and not as likable. Plus he has other objectives right now. Going to need someone whobreally likes the engagement.

not sure who step in to take Charlies place, but what I can say is I am damn proud that my small town (Bellville) has a turning point chapter at the high school. I firmly believe that in 10-15 years someone will rise up in politics and be inspired from this weeks events.
