Lately, the Cult of MAGA has been very open & enthusiastic about their desires for a ‘Holy War’. They have now found a MAGA Martyr in Charlie Kirk — and are doing everything possible to use the assassination of this far-right influencer to accelerate the pace of authoritarianism.

The deification, the glorification and the liberal whitewashing of who Charlie Kirk truly was — we’ll cover all that and more.
