I imagine it's an interest that's going to fade over time, but right now as it stands it kinda looks a bit like this:

And that when I'm alone I sometimes imagine out loud that I'm debating him (I know it was never going to happen but I actually would have loved to debate him - I feel like I could've given him a decent run for his money on at least a couple of things).

And that I once spent about 6 hours doing fanart of him and Candace Owens in Doctor Who cosplay.

And that I'm probably going to spend several hours scrolling through the entirety of his Instagram and TPUSA page just to look for something from 2017.

And that I once stayed up until 4:00 in the morning writing a Tumblr essay about his relationship with Erika.

Yeah I guess it is a bit wild. Probably not the most ideal hyperfixation to have, but at least it gave me some incentive to keep up to date with and learn about US politics and thats at least a little bit useful.

Hope hyperfixating on Ben Shapiro was fun.

Well... I don't believe in Hell since I'm not religious, but l think I can buy that if it exists it has neck banging. Not sure if Charlie would personally participate in it, I guess we'll never know (although if Hell exists then I'm probably going there for not being a 'believer' so I guess I'll find out then, maybe Charlie would like being neck banged).

2. What do you mean '[my] cult leader'? A cult means that you worship something uncritically and believe your leader is perfect and never to be questioned etc. I do not at all worship MAGA conservatism or Christian Nationalism or unregulated capitalism or the myriad of bigotries that Charlie Kirk both personally and in practice supported. Just because I post relatively gentle things about him sometimes doesn't mean I think he was a good and perfect man who should be seen as good and perfect. I'm autistic and my main hyperfixation is American politics - my interest in Charlie Kirk stems from that and not because I align with him politically.

If you want evidence of the fact that he's not my cult leader then maybe come back in a couple of months or so - by then I should be finished with the post I'm writing right now which should clear some things up. Or if you want then send me a follow-up question and I can write you a list of all the bad things he said and supported that I can think of off the top of my head.

Oh boi
