Has Charlie Kirk’s Assassination Pushed American Politics Beyond Point Of No Return? | HT In-Depth

Charlie Kirk’s assassination has turned into something far bigger than a single act of violence. What began as a shocking shooting on a university stage has become a mirror of America’s deepest divides. On the Right, Kirk is being canonized as a martyr, a symbol of Christianity, conservative values, and the fight against “woke ideology.” His death has been seized upon by Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Republican leaders to frame the Left as responsible for fostering a toxic culture of hate. On the Left, leaders condemned the killing but warn that conservatives are weaponizing grief to silence dissent, punish speech, and harden partisan lines. Already, employees across universities, corporations, and even the Secret Service have been suspended or fired for posts seen as mocking Kirk’s death. The country is now teetering between two realities: grief turning into vengeance, or grief crystalizing into policy - from abortion and immigration to Christian nationalism. The question is, what comes next?
