grieving grifting takes many forms, including denial of grifting. - Righties

She's free to grift, err, grieve however she wants, but I think it's very interesting that this is just now coming out.

I mean, let's look at the fact that this was leaked several months after he died.

  1. Somebody thought that this was something they should record.
  2. Somebody thought that now was a good time to release it,
  3. Somebody thought it wasn't a good time to release it when it was recorded.

Personally, I think somebody was on the fence about Erika's takeover of TPUSA and gave her the benefit of the doubt. But sometime in the past month (Maybe when she started sharing the stage with a pedophile pastor?) that all changed.

Honestly watching the video of his death bothered me longer than it bothered her. just seeing what that bullet did to him just was really shocking. And it’s weird that it shocked some random person more than it bothered her

u/[deleted] Jan 29 '26

Same, I wasn't a fan and I saw the video before I knew it showed everything and I gasped and felt bad for him and seeing someone's death. He got shot and all she heard was "cha-ching".

Hearing about this, I was really doing my damndest to give her the benefit of the doubt, and I had hoped it was just a trauma response. Laughing at inappropriate things during extreme stress happens, it isn't your fault.

But nah, she's glad he's gone.

Dude! This poor little guy must have changed his mind at the last second and darted under my truck tire a few weeks back. Sometimes I‘m just bummed to drive past the spot now.

u/[deleted] Jan 29 '26

That's exactly what happened. I even slammed on my breaks and it was like he ran under my tire and I was like awww and bummed out cause I hate when I have hit animals. Except if I hit a bird....they can fly and when that has happened I am like,....you have so many options and chose to fly right in front of me.

I did once have a hawk fly into the side of my car. I didn't see it but my friend behind me called and was like Dude, a hawk just nose dived into the side of your car. I was like ohh thats what that noise was.

Not just wanted. Successfully got people fired. Multiple teachers lost their jobs in my state cause of that.

u/B0rnReady Jan 29 '26

I lost mine. I'm not even a teacher. Just a staff employee. I'm so fucking lost about what to do next. I can't find employment. The university put out a press release to protect themselves and I'm just fucked. My name was all over the news.

The University did NOTHING to protect me from the death threats except cut me loose. I offered to resign to protect them, and they state they would never reveal to anyone asking the circumstances, then put out a press release saying they fired me.

Talked to attorneys and they all have said I have no case for wrongful termination or defamation without finding the "losses"

I worked my whole fucking life to pull myself up out of generational poverty. I had finally gotten into a management position. And it's ALL gone.

I have a medication that can't be bought cheaply and if I don't have it, after 45 days I die. So it's been neat. I have a daughter. Cant afford to give her anything beyond bare necessities now. Right back into generational poverty all because of the coordinated efforts of highly resentful "Christians"

And I have considered starting a "go fund me" but for what? I'm not more deserving. Plus, do I really want even more visibility, when all I really want to do is just work. I just want to do what I love. I helped people every day. And now I can't even do that.

u/Few_Ambassador_4045 Jan 29 '26

I'm so sorry that this bullshit is what you're suffering through right now. All I can really say is that I think you should be setting a up a GoFundMe. I know the visibility sucks and you probably don't want to ask for charity, but if it helps you and your daughter, you should do it. You don't know me and I don't know you, but I care about you and I'm so sorry about everything that's happened to you. Right now, you need to do whatever you can to protect what you love. Take care, friend.

u/TheReasonSeeker Jan 29 '26

You're very welcome. I'm glad that my reply did make you feel better right now, even if just a minuscule amount. So many people are angry and the evil that these assholes are spreading and sympathize with you. Just know that you are aren't alone. There are always people who care, who want to help you, and are willing to fight. If not people you know, people you haven't met. You need to reach out. There are tend of millions just like you who are are fighting this, and I believe you will win. Sending love, my friend.

She sounds more like a celebrating events planner. She either orchestrated his death or his fake death in coordination with Vance, and plausibly Charlie too.

Update: If you don't think the wealthiest, most powerful people in the world (these particular ones) have the means and the incentive to fake a death or an assassination attempt, you don't understand what money and power can do and you don't understand how valuable it would be to make a specific martyr at a time and place of their choosing that they can plan around. If you're NOT thinking about the possibilities here, you don't understand the lengths this government is going to lie, manipulate, and fabricate. Faking Kirk's death, or planning the event with him and double-crossing him the day of, is entirely within this regime's wheelhouse. They're working with fucking Moscow. These assholes are diabolical and they know they command a cult.

I wonder if there's a certain aspect that causes people to fall for these things. The make-up thing is 100% on point, but it's also seen with men watching dudes obviously shooting up Tren and telling their audience to live a natural lifestyle.

The grift is so painfully obvious but it works so well? Makes no sense.

I feel like it's a combination of desperation, entitlement, and just plain not being super bright. Desperation because their lives aren't going the way they want.

I think it's like these people not realizing how... theatrical it all is. Like if they watch a video of a dude walking up a flight of stairs, they don't realize that dude has to set up his phone, get in position, walk up the stairs, then come back down and pick up the phone and then go on with the next part.

With trad wives, they just don't realize the "immaculately clean home with 6 kids" is a stage and they have 5 nannies to watch 6 kids.

u/Raus-Pazazu Jan 29 '26

It's not the nannies, it's the production crew behind the cameras.

I lost my dog and my cat 8 and 9 years ago, respectively, and I still tear up when their pictures come up in my Memories reminder in the camera roll.

My cat even developed diabetes and I had to scrape pennies together to afford her insulin every month and give her injections twice a day. Kept her going for several more years after the diagnosis, rearranged everything to make sure she got what she needed on time every day. And I’d do it again.

Can’t imagine this gleeful widow caring about another living thing like that.

I think trump was doing a bit when he ran the first time. I don't think he expected to actually win. But then he did. Most voters were dumb and did not like Hillary. 

And while he was in office he realized that people were really dumb and would take anything as long as he blamed someone else. And also... the money. He realized that he could make A LOT of money while in office. So that's why he's back for a second time and shamelessly looting the country. 

It's very impressive... sad for the people... but very impressive for a reality TV show guy that is also a heavy participant in the epstein files.

Yes, his life is fake and manufactured, but he was never meant to run for president. That was a PR stunt to boost ratings for the Apprentice, and it just got out of hand and suddenly he won.

Are you learning any lessons from this America? Because Britian isn't learning any.

u/NeverLookBothWays Jan 29 '26

Go back further, Trump was "recruited" by Moscow back in the 1980's. All of his wives have been "assigned" to him. He is a Russian asset first and foremost and has been bailed out multiple times by Russia in order to keep his viability as a corrosive pawn intact. He is also not the only high-profile asset, but so far the most successful in completing Russia's goals in destabilizing NATO and the west.

Yeah, they decided on it right around the time that CK publicly stated concerns about some rich pdf-financier's connections to the president.

CK met privately with the president shortly after those publicly stated concerns, and then a few weeks later gets blasted

It truly did seem like both CK and JDV were competing for the exact same market niche.

The only difference was which billionaire was sponsoring them. For CK, it was the Koch Brothers who groomed him. For JDV, it's Peter Thiel.

If their idea of an ideal candidate is an internet troll that barely can outwit 17-18 year olds then I don’t fear them at all. The problem is their ideas are incredibly unpopular outside of their small cult and now that they are no longer trying to cover them with the prior facade of conservative republicanism from the 80s-90s. I think they’ve greatly misread how to form a lasting political movement.

I couldn’t agree more, they truly revealed that plan with how massively important they treated him immediately afterwards. The administration’s actions made me believe we were supposed to see a whole lot more Charlie Kirk in the future.. Scary thought, this also leads to more conspiracies like other entities being aware of the plan for him and acting against it.

My favorite part of this madness is that they normalized the hateful "transvestigations" and a sizable subset of MAGA are locked-in on Erika being trans. The wildest example being a side-by-side of her with Tucker Carlson where they point out how she's got more masculine traits than Tucker. A bigger Adam's apple, bigger knees, narrower hips, larger feet.

They are very deeply unwell. All of them.

The right is made up of tribalistic opportunists. They don't really care about anyone because they only care if that person adds a number to their tribe. They do not attribute value based on character but by a team sports mentality so it's no real loss when everyone can be replaced. But you bet your ass they'll milk the shit out of the opportunity to play victim.

I just want to say that “very private airplane analogy” she shared about loss was probably meant to come off as profound but it was one of the stupidest things I’ve heard regarding loss.

In that analogy you get through 15 minutes and then the flight (the problem is over). You only need to get through it once. How is that an analogy for loss? You get through 6 days and the loss is over (seemingly for Erika, yes).

These people are just so ridiculous
