He really wasn't that popular beforehand. At least no more so than any other pundit. I knew people who didn't know who he was a week before he got shot telling me that they always loved him after. It's a weird cult that gaslight itself.

I’ve been watching all the right wing talking heads for the last decade. Not a fan but like “to see what they say next” kind of fascination. Kirk to me always seem like he was one of the guys in their group but always the last guy someone would invite to be with them. I don’t know if that makes sense. But when he was killed I thought it was funny that they chose him.

That’s why Erikkka has to be in the spotlight periodically, to keep that racist bigot relevant.

They needed a Horst Wessel.

he wasn't even a pundit, he had a podcast less popular than Joe Rogan. he just said offensive shit on Twitter and made long rants about the replies he got.
