    Yeah the healthcare CEO is actually pretty irrelevant. he got replaced, someone else is doing his job now. Meanwhile vance and so forth showed up to his funeral and was basically doing a rally at it and Kirk was directly talking to people in the administration and potentially influencing stuff. I mean today some lawmakers are trying to set up chapters of Turning Point USA in high school.

    Kirk actually built something and was guiding something. The Head of a health care insurance company is an institution. The leader is pretty irrelevant, the institution has a whill of its own and countless people looking for the payraise to be in that position. Meanwhile the heads of social movements are actually significant in guiding the direction.

    Turning Point USA and Charlie Kirk for that matter, had a HUGE impact (a negative one) on US politics for the last 10 years. People like him were not a cog but a whole machine of massive propaganda that are at the root of the problem with the current US political landscape.

    Deleting a Healthcare CEO that got replaced that week was absolutely a meaningless act.

    The guy on the top is Luigi Mangioni, and he is accused of killing the CEO of united healthcare. On the bottom is Tyler Robinson, who is accused of killing Charlie Kirk. The meme is implying because Luigi is traditionally attractive women support him and want him freed, while Tyler is not so women don’t care.

    A couple possible explanations.

    1. Top guy is accused of killing a health insurance executive, which a lot of people "empathize" with a little more. Bottom guy is accused of killing Charlie Kirk, who most MAGA people consider a hero.
    2. Top guy is considered more attractive while bottom guy not so much.

    Luigi was minding his own business carrying around a backpack full of arbitrary weight, like a gun and heavy manifesto for cardio endurance training, probably for a charity 4k for puppies with leukemia, or just on the way to read manifestos to the elderly. Then someone that looked like him killed an evil ceo. Tyler in the other hand...
