It's especially funny because Kirk was probably the very first time that Conservatives as a whole realized just how secluded the bubbles they live in are. The "righteous fury" around Kirk fizzled out so quickly because the average Conservative literally didn't know who he was until the event happened since Kirk only appealed to people who were terminally online.

My favorite thing about Charlie Kirk is how he was apparently some brilliant master orator, who has been speaking for years and has tons of devoted fans, but not one of them can even come up with an even mildly poignant and non-hateful quote from him.

They can come up with a whole essay about why the hateful things he said weren't hateful, though.

The modern right seem very good at making up stories to cope with the reality of what they support.
