The Left May Have Just Lost a Generation of Voters Last night my oldest son said to me “Dad, me and all my friends are going to wear a coat & tie to school tomorrow.” At drop off today I realized the entire school was doing it, when effectively every student was wearing a coat and tie.

Admittedly, I did not know much about Charlie Kirk, but he clearly has had a profound impact on young American men. It appears he really connected with them, and they are very, very sad about what happened. And while we don’t know who the killer is or the motive, I would bet my dollar that what drove the killer to commit the murder of Charlie Kirk was to “shut him up”, but in the process only created 1,000X more Charlie Kirk’s. Godspeed Charlie, and my heart aches for his wife and two young children. **************** This was corroborated to a degree by a host at KLRN Radio, who said to me that after picking up his high schooler, he was told that nearly every class was discussing the shooting and that the vast majority of students were saddened and angered over the shooting of Kirk. This is a sign of how impactful the loss of Charlie can be, but it could also serve as a harbinger of sorts that this upcoming generation could be entrenched in conservatism.
