Charlie Kirk, had he been running a country, would literally be the next hitler. Do you regularly send your love to hitler every month because people regularly talk about what a disgusting human he was? These quotes maybe generally agreeable but there are exceptions that they don't apply to. Charlie Kirk was a man with a very large sphere of influence who worked very hard so that the world would be exact opposite of what is being described in these quotes. And he did make significant contributions to this. So even from that perspective I think you can be happy that his death has slowed down going in the other direction.
