Maybe that’s because we’re Canadian? I already knew about turning point USA, it’s huge and apparently a huge reason Trump got so much more of the young vote this time.
I didn’t know him by name but by the “prove me wrong” meme. He was a mid-tier grifter on the way down with the likes of Fuentes in the way up. The key thing is he had a lot of access to Trump.

I did eventually find out who he was thanks to Justin Ling’s write-up which is pretty good: https://www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/who-was-charlie-kirk-anyway
Quite a story, but even so the earth-shaking implications of his death seem to me much exaggerated by many.
