Charlie Kirk’s Death Sparks Smokescreens & Civil War Bingo

On October 4, 2025, amid billowing smoke grenades outside a Portland ICE facility, federal agents dressed like Lost in the Homeland Security Candy Crush squad held back protesters, setting the scene for chaos. Charlie Kirk's killing—hero of one side's outrage—turned overnight into political ammo sharper than Laura Loomer's Twitter fingers and Steve Bannon’s lunatic megaphone, catapulting the US into a tit-for-tat political violence super-spreader event. Barbara Walter of UC San Diego warns we're not just tipping but pole-vaulting into high-risk democratic collapse—with politically appointed FBI and Homeland Security chiefs who may lack the skills of actual spies but excel in loyalty badges. It’s less Mad Max, more Mad Political Pong.
