    Ah yeah I was hoping it would add to the conspiracy if he was somewhat firm about pressing trump and turned hard after getting a (spooky) phone call/meeting and then they take him out anyway to send a message to the rest of the trumpfluencers

    What you said tracks though

      Yeah, I really don’t think the US government was behind this in any way. Kirk was a young and popular propagandist who was willing to say whatever the Trump admin or his fascist patrons wanted him to. He had a huge audience and was frequently hosting major conservative conferences. His death is imo a genuine loss for the American right wing, especially the brand of Christian nationalism he represented. If I was the Trump admin and wanted to kill a right-wing figure to rile up the base or whatever, I would pick a more expendable target.

      Mossad? They’re rabid lunatics and capable of anything. I still don’t think they actually did it, but it’s not impossible. The US government? No way.
