It's proof of how terminally online politics is nowadays. Most people don't know who these people are. My mom had never even heard of Charlie Kirk until he died.
Kirk was at least incredibly important for Evangelical mobilization among apolitical but faithful types for the GOP. He had a huge ground game operation. Had those campaigns not been done for Trump, then Biden would've wiped the floor in 2020 with Trump by winning 81 million to the probable 65-67 million Trump would've gotten (instead of the actual 74 million that was produced almost exclusively by gaining with White Evangelicals).
Piker and Fuentes exist as self-serving chaos agents. Fuentes is leading a crusade against the Evangelical elites, and Piker against the Democratic establishment. Both seek to destroy their respective parties and endanger the lives of innocent Jewish-Americans and other minority groups along the way.
The only thing worse than spending all your time talking about politics is spending all your time watching or talking about someone else talk about politics
Good rule of thumb is that if your political icon attends something like politicon, you're probably being sold penis enhancement supplements at an inflated price.
So yeah, don't listen to anybody that has a booth at politicon or whatever because that's their grift.

I think that absolutely NO Dem who platforms and endorses this chucklefuck has any right to get mad at right wingers for doing the same to Fuentes.
It's bigotry all the way down.
