Charlie Kirk’s ‘War Room’ Hits New Level: Now With Assassins

In a plot twist no reality show could top, Charlie Kirk’s assassination at Utah Valley University unleashed the MAGA meltdown of 2025. Trump dubbed Kirk a 'martyr for truth and freedom' while promising to crack down on the 'radical left'—because nothing says calm like presidential vigilante justice. Steve Bannon hopped on his 'War Room' podcast declaring Kirk fell to an assassin’s bullet in 'political combat.' Fox’s Jesse Watters, clearly auditioning for a post-apocalyptic film, asked what MAGA would do now that they’re 'at war.' Meanwhile, the shooter remains at large and motives unknown. Democrats didn’t get a free pass either: arsons and threats against them are on the record, yet silence reigns. Republicans like Rep. Derrick Van Orden vow to 'go to war' on 'leftist scumbags,' and Stephen Miller insists millions’ fate depends on defeating this 'wicked ideology.' Bonus shade: GOP’s own Thom Tillis called out some conservatives for exploiting Kirk’s death as a war call, a sentiment about as popular as a car GPS telling you to turn into a lake. Meanwhile, experts warn violence will escalate because america likes its drama dial cranked to eleven, and quiet calls for peace sound like background noise to the political soundtrack of chaos. If this isn’t a setup for a Netflix docuseries titled 'How Not to Run a Country,' what is?
