 No lol it really won’t radicalize them. Kirk actually was a monumental figure for conservatives. Kirk went into the places where no conservatives have ever really existed and flipped it so that young people were voting Republican. Fuentes isn’t shit.

I hate Fuentes but him being assassinated is the last thing this country needs rn. That would radicalize 1000x the amount of people Kirk did when he died

Dog, he’s literally on every major show… Even the mass media is talking about him. I think he might be approaching an even larger following than Kirk

Hate agreeing with a Joker take but yeah you’re spot on. Until we start seeing Groyper Clubs on every college campus like we had with TPUSA you can’t compare the two in influence. Kirk dwarves Fuentes.

He’s not LOL. Fuentes isn’t approachable. Fuentes is liked only by young people. Kirk was liked by EVERYONE in the conservative movement except for the further right figures like Fuentes. Is there potential for Fuentes to do damage? Sure…but would killing him be as monumental? Not even close lol. That news cycle would die in a week tops.

Like most, I couldn’t stand Kirk, but I’d be a moron to pretend like the shit he was doing wasn’t effective. We could debate semantics, but Kirk wasn’t a womanizer or explicitly xenophobic like Fuentes is. On top of that, Charlie Kirk actually left his parent’s basement.

Fuentes also just will never be able to be the “all-American” type of personality that Kirk was. He just won’t. It’s not even about how extreme he is, it’s just his vibe. Like you said, he’s a basement dweller. He’ll never have the traditional family that evangelicals love cause he hates women too much.

Uhhh I hate to break it to you, but Fuentes has a lot of older divorced 40 year olds watching his content. You can’t deny Fuentes is a rising major conservative voice. Larger than Candace Owens, and other of the more hard right people

Also he’s very Catholic and I think there’s enough Southern Baptist republicans who’d have an issue with a Papist having mass influence over the party. It’s part of why I think Vance is gonna faceplant if they make him the MAGA Heir.

Was having the conversation the other day with some people about Fuentes that came to the same conclusion. Shit…it’s the same for leftys and liberals and their influencers. For whatever reason, their biggest “smartest” people are all 30 something dudes who decided to stop maturing at the age of 15.

Honestly I think it’s just cause what makes a good influencer doesn’t make a good political commentator, for either side.

He’s not even conservative he’s a full-blown Hitler sympathizer

No one denies Fuentes is growing, but to say that his assassination would radicalize “1000x” the people is ludicrous. If you’re online all the time, you might think that Fuentes is dominating politics…but in the real world he isn’t. He has no power and no recognition outside of X and Cozy. Again…he’s a streamer for basement dwellers.
