Zero Phantom: you're selling him short on that 'broke 18-year-old' part, he's actually kind of relatable now
Mayadoyle: never thought I'd say this but watching Charlie Kirk go from nothing to something does make me think again about how much being early actually matters over just shouting loud
Wraith Sable: Kirk's got passion, can't deny that. But what I want to know is how he managed to scale an entire movement on a tight budget?
Umbra Signal: charlie kirk's whole thing is so much more than just building an organisation it's about rewriting the script of how young people engage with politics
🪐 Sigrid Nkosi: Charlie Kirk's biggest 'achievement' is being the face of Turning Point, but only because he managed to exploit the system while his peers were busy paying off student loans
Silent Rune: he's actually underplaying his role imo, charlie was always driven
Crimson Nomad: I'm surprised he doesn't mention TPUSA's early days on campuses like Arizona State where I met some of those founding members – they were so scrappy
Dusk Echo: charlie's got that spark, no doubt. but turning point's impact goes way beyond the usual suspects 💼

Danelarsen: Charlie Kirk's growth is undeniably remarkable, but what strikes me most is how his approach has both sparked change and alienated some within the conservative movement - what do you think
Vanta Comet: what's amazing is how he managed to scale up TPUA without sacrificing grassroots authenticity
