@SeasonedRP I appreciate the effort of the response, but still find the underlying assumptions fatally flawed.

Part of the problem, lies in the American Right's cultural aversion to consider culture and economics through a CLASS lens, as if doing so is tantamount to willfully stepping onto a nearly vertical slippery slope into full-on acceptance and practice of Marxism/socialism/communism-->bad and anti-American.

Even those individuals you name, who may give public lip service and financial donations to Left leaning social causes, often have economic ulterior motives mixed in. This notwithstanding, their position at the apex of power and control over the large numbers of workers in their businesses and organizations, places them squarely in the Bourgeois class, completely apart from the working stiff proles who actually perform the work.

Working and middle class people support the right.

Because they are most blind to the above structural reality. I find it breathtakingly absurd hearing working class folks, particularly blue collar, enthusiastically supporting the likes of Elon Musk and Donald Trump, with a sense of personal kinship which in reality holds 0% reciprocity from his end.

FWIW, even people working at the ground and lower levels within organizations like Environmental groups that take large grants from the likes of Soros, will take the money, but harbor no illusions that these apex benefactors exist in any way as "One of us." Wealthy people, whether donors or board/upper management class, don't bother to pitch through left coded channels to left leaning audiences, any "Greetings, fellow working class stiffs!" bullshit, as they're much quicker to see right through such a farce.

@Typo-MAGAshiv top soon for some perhaps. Charlie Kirk did sit on the far, good side of the bell curve of debate style and rhetorical habits, though I see that got partially facilitated by the standard having dropped so low.

Charlie's biggest gift was his ability to rapidly read people, not unlike a good/effective fortune teller, medium, evangelist, or even Confidence Man, though I don't attribute that type of malevolence to him personally. Very talented at leading people in a direction using gentle verbal methods, which happened to be American Right Wing.

He espoused some positions which "the Left "hold foundational disagreement with. But all the evidence so far, including the ham fisted cover up attempts, suggest that the culprits, yes plural, will prove not to be "blue haired Marxist Lefties silencing him over ideological disagreements " as got pushed out within the first hour after the shooting.

Guys, what do you think about Erica Kirk?

I had been refraining from saying this publicly, but fuck it. No one here knows who I am IRL.

My wife and I watched her speech/address that she first gave shortly after Charlie's murder.

She didn't get more than a few sentences in before both of us thought something was off about her.

I haven't done any deep dive into her life, mainly because I have more pressing matters that actually effect my life that I'm dealing with. I don't have any information on her background that I know for sure is reliable.

All I know is that she struck both my wife and me as someone who was along for the ride, who seemed more upset at losing her meal ticket and ticket to fame and status than she was at losing her husband and father of her kids.

At the time, Turning Point hadn't started receiving (or at least not yet reporting, as far as we knew) all the huge, record donations. And she was shilling for the site, etc in her address.

That just rubbed us both the wrong way, along with her mannerisms and body language and the way she seemed to gush over one of their friends (I've forgotten who) during that address. We agreed that she'll likely remarry within a year, maybe two.

We had kept this private between the two of us until now, because we do want to extend the benefit of the doubt, and we hope we're wrong.

Erica Kirk: innocent and tragic victim Tradwife, or Globalist Honey Pot?

I don't think she's quite either one, but more of a gold *status digger upset at losing her ticket.

Again, I hope I'm wrong and just being overly pessimistic.
