He brought the youth vote to Trump and the Republicans. They want to keep it alive. It may have been the difference in the last election.

It has to be worth a lot more money now.
Becoming a martyr increased the value bigly.

And she's reflecting that sentiment in her public appearances.

I bet her kids are going to be really messed up.

to try to get attention. To keep his ignorant followers attention he had to do the red meat. He couldn't do a regular debate or discussion of his views.

The Grifting was a huge part of this as it is with many other right wingers on social media.

So she needs to keep the money coming in and figuring out how to do it. It will be easy for the next few months as I'm sure they will buy whatever shit they sell and if she decides to do appearances they will pay for it. It's in the long run when things might change.

I think if she met a wealthy left leaning type that could provide same or more wealth and lifestyle she would easily take it.

In the end it's about the grifting.

I mean, women are supposed to be submissive. Give birth to babies and stay home to take care of those kids. That's what makes women "happy", right? (Sarcasm, to a degree, of course).

Does she take her children to work with her? What will she be doing with them while she continues Charlie's work? Who will clean her bathroom and do her laundry?

Inquiring minds want to know. Because that is what he preached.

Charlie expected every OTHER wife and mother to do it. To make them happy!!! So wouldn't he want his wife to be happy?

She got through those stages of grief in a hurry, then on to the business of hatred. Hatred pays very well, it seems.

many quotes were about White Christian MALE dominance. Will they follow a woman? Even if she is his widow and beautiful?

contestants and winners who I didn't think were overly attractive. More importantly, Kirk's wife has an extremely ugly personality and set of values and beliefs (in my opinion). I would never call such a person beautiful.
