The Unlikely Agreement with Charlie Kirk: A Dive into Political Dynamics
Understanding the Horseshoe Theory
It’s not often that we find ourselves on the same page as Charlie Kirk. This perhaps highlights the essence of the Horseshoe Theory, where extremes on both ends can converge in certain beliefs. Kirk’s recent discussions raise important points, particularly considering his role in mobilizing the youth vote in Arizona through his organization, Turning Point USA.
Kirk’s Motivations in Arizona
Kirk dedicated considerable resources to ensure Republican candidate Kari Lake succeeded in Arizona. However, Lake’s defeat—especially among younger voters—raises questions regarding Kirk’s effectiveness in engaging that demographic. Despite this setback, Kirk’s influence persists as Turning Point USA now plays a crucial role in the "get out the vote" initiative for Donald Trump.
“When you vote for Trump, you’re voting for 5,000 people that will run your government,” Kirk asserts, reminding us that this election transcends individual personalities.
The Broader Implications of Election Choices
Kirk emphasizes that we’re not merely voting for a president; we’re deciding who will populate crucial regulatory agencies and make substantive policy decisions. Whether it’s the FDA or the Department of Defense, the question remains: who do voters want in those positions?
Kirk cautions against the personalization of the election, urging voters to focus on the larger implications of their choices. He supports a broad coalition, naming figures like Bobby Kennedy, Tulsi Gabbard, and Elon Musk as part of what he terms the "Avengers team."
Addressing the Administrative State
With this rhetoric, Kirk suggests a crucial perspective: the philosophical battle is over whether to support an "administrative state" or to dismantle it. While Republicans may not prioritize the bureaucrats they elect, the implications of appointing leadership in these agencies cannot be overlooked.
As Kirk puts it, “You are voting for all the personnel that will fill regulatory agencies.”
The Role of Influential Figures
Kirk’s arguments may resonate differently with various audiences. There’s skepticism around his alliances—specifically the effectiveness of figures like Tulsi Gabbard or the implications of having billionaires in significant roles. Here, the complexity of forming a coalition shines through; not every influential voice aligns neatly with conventional political narratives.
Conclusion: The Risks and Realities Ahead
In a political landscape where decisions are often made by an "unelected oligarchy," as Kirk suggests, the stakes for voters are high. Arizona’s electoral votes will be pivotal, and voters must decide how best to reclaim their influence.

WoW…. What would have happened if his strategy had worked?
Kirk won
Well Trump's president so I guess it didn't matter. Republicans are a team. They win together. And when they lose they together say they didn't.
At this point i think that the Koch family simply likes to waste money. The whole point of TPUSA is to turn young people into conservatism and so far failed miserably in that objective. Stadistically every new generation in the US tend to be less and less conservative and young voters have more progressive ideals. The only thing that TPUSA did was enrich Charlie Kirk that at first was cashing a couple of thousand dollars a year to over 400,00 in 2021 + a bunch of more money invested in companies related to him and at least 3 very expensive properties.
If You ask me those fracking assholes are just buying new shoes for Kirk every day.
The fact that RFK is involved in ANY capacity is disqualifying 🤦♀️🤮🤮🤮
Kirk doesn't realise this works against Trump for most people.
Sorry to bother Sam and Emma, I’m sure you guys are busy. I know “force the vote” wasn’t a good idea at the time and that we had to play the long game. Curious, after 7 years and global pandemic where do we stand ?
It makes absolutely zero sense how Kirk is 1 year younger than me, but looks 15 years older than me.
I also still cannot look at his face, without thinking someone Photoshopped his eyes, nose, and mouth, to be scaled down 0.75% 😭😭😭
They all share a price, love of Power, Money, and fame.
Insanity. Charlie’s eyes are so close together that it’s got to make you think twice!
Yes, that's right, you're not just voting for Donald Trump. You're voting for the complete pile of doo-doo that comes with him! Elon Musk! Tulsi Gabbard! John F. Kennedy Jr! Project 2025! Charlie Kirk!
Oh yes, the thousands of times I've come across someone who said "y'know, I was just such a Nazi that I found myself becoming a humanist"
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
This comment section is weird
Charlie kirk racking in the Russian money
And we know from Project 2025, Trump’s political appointees exist only to drive out the employees Trump can’t directly fire from the government agencies. They’re in there to do Trump’s bidding. Nobody is supposed to be autonomous under Trump.
Charlie Kirk is just too old to keep doing his college conservative shtick
Vote for Trump, he’s got Democrat rejects. What a flex.
Sam, Tulsi is clearly the eye candy on the Revengers.
Used to be an Obama supporter BWAHAHAHA yeah before he lost his mind, something we ALL tracked as it happened.
"the avengers team" 💀💀💀
Unelected oligarchs? Like Musk?
Did Charlie ever end up adopting that unborn Dolphin?
There’s a Charlie Kirk strategy?
I’ll vote again, but voting for someone who’ll still sign off on 80% of the right wing’s agenda on the threat that the other 20% might be carried out is getting old.
It always feels odd listening to the other side. I will say the thing I find negligible the most are the ad hominems in the comment section.
Charlie did a great job.
Charlie Kirk is telling the truth and he knows what he’s taking about. TRUMP 2024🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

He was great at that show, & almost 80! he was an incredibly kind, cultured ^ very Progressive man, & god WHAT A HUNK, especially back in the 70s & 80s but even into his 70s! NOBODY had a better body in a tight black tee shirt & jeans. 👌🤩 those arms🤤
What the hell was that noise at 9 minutes?!
Un-elected oligarchy, oh, like Billionares?
TYT are right wing. You could have maybe called them centre-right, before, but lately they are clearly right wing. Far from MAGA or Fox level, sure, but…
