17 days after Charlie’s death, it’s clear: We are now on the other side of the Rubicon – BlazeTV Staff – September 27, 2025

Auron MacIntyre is done mincing words: It’s time for conservatives to embrace a ‘different type of politics.’

The assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, whose only crime was to host debates in the public square and declare the gospel of Jesus Christ, has made something abundantly clear: We have crossed the Rubicon.

But it was the left’s response to his tragic death that revealed this reality perhaps even more than the shooting itself. Almost immediately, radicals took to social media to post videos celebrating Charlie’s murder, claiming he deserved to die and even mocking his wife, Erika, and their two children. Across the country, they defiled memorials, crashed prayerful vigils where his admirers gathered in grief, and even called for more violence against conservative figures.

This wasn’t a fringe group, either. It was a minority, says Auron MacIntyre, but “a very large minority.”

But now that it’s clear the right will not follow the left’s suit and respond in violence, even the liberals who initially issued “half-hearted rebukes” are beginning to “[rip] the mask off,” caveating their original statements with hypocritical comments like, “Charlie Kirk was evil. He was a fascist. He was a racist. … Wasn’t he kind of asking for it?”

Auron warns: For too long conservatives have mistakenly believed that “history is over” and that modern politics is just a “debate club,” but we can no longer deny the reality facing us: A nation this divided cannot endure.
