One denied the result of a legitimate democratic election, and the other didn't?

Thanks for your help with that one. There are multiple differences between someone who can articulate a considered point in debate in discussion with somebody with an opposing view (even if you disagree with it) and a maniac on a one-way rant on tik-tok.

You're more than welcome.  Always happy to help.

I just thought it worth pointing out that Charlie Kirk denied the result of a legitimate democratic election without any evidence whatsoever.  That would make him either stupid, or a shill who based his opinions not on fact but on whatever would benefit him at that particular time.  The girl on TikTok probably at least believes what she's saying.

He may have made what you perceive to be an uneducated comment in that instance that doesn’t make him stupid. I suspect he was smarter than you or I. Just because you don’t agree with someone they can still be smarter than you

Charlie Kirk didn't make uneducated comments, he was very clever at promoting a particular point of view despite almost certainly knowing the facts often went against his standpoint. He was a propagandist for Project 2025, and like any other form of propaganda, there had to be a basis in fact, if only a fleeting relationship.

EDIT: and anybody that lobbies against gun control is most definitely stupid.
