Brazil voting for Lula with a plurality is like Communists burning the Amazon Rainforest before the military took Rio in 1964.
That's a stupid analogy, but it's no worse than what he said here either in tenor or historical accuracy.

Right wingers with deplorable views need to learn to post their more deplorable takes on some right-wing version of Twitter, or expect that their stuff might potentially get them in trouble with Twitter. This is just common sense. Twitter isn't really a "public square" per se... I mean, it is, AND it isn't. It's more like "that bar around the corner that basically EVERYBODY goes to, but it's still a private business and you gotta follow bar rules if you wanna hang out in there".

The other part is also that he said the Americans took Berlin, which isn't historically accurate.

Charlie Kirk is from an alternate timeline, confirmed.

Dude literally looks like every single [male] member of the "College Republicans" I've ever met on campus at my college.

Of course, Twitter is the new NSDAP and Elon Musk is the Dwight D. Eisenhower of the 21st century. Tongue

Charlie is usually so thoughtful and measured in his commentary. Really surprising to see a tweet from him like this.  Thanks for letting us know.
