You 'think' this about Kimmel when it's far bigger. The fact that you don't get it makes your argument moot.
Hint: it's about government overreach, it's normalization, and watershed. But yeah, the millionaires.

"Kirk’s death has triggered a range of reaction, much of it mournful sympathy for the 31-year-old activist and his family. But it also has sparked conspiracy theories, hot-take presumptions the left was responsible and calls for vengeance against Kirk’s perceived enemies."
#CharlieKirk

Charlie Kirk's supporters have declared him a 'martyr.' Some want vengeance.

Christian nationalists suggest that Charlie Kirk was killed for his religious and political beliefs, and some are calling for revenge.

Trump officials plan to use VAERS data to link COVID vaccine to child deaths. VAERS is not research. VAERS is simply a database of stuff that happened. It cannot and does not show causation. This is junk. Don’t fall for it. Thank you.
