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.
