Here’s the truth. When Charlie Kirk was assassinated on September 10th, it wasn’t just a killing. It was a declaration. The bullet casings left behind were scrawled with Antifa slogans: arrows, antifascist chants, taunts like “Bella Ciao.” This wasn’t random. It was ideological violence, aimed at silencing a voice that made fragile ideologies crack under debate.
President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance wasted no time calling it what it is: domestic terrorism. On a special two-hour memorial broadcast of The Charlie Kirk Show, Vance said:
“We are going to treat this as domestic terrorism. Groups that advocate, celebrate, and normalize political violence will be treated like the mafia—dismantled piece by piece.” (New York Times, 2025)
That clarity matters. But let me say something that a lot of people are too polite to say: we don’t have to wait on the government to act.
Antifa: The “Idea” That Bleeds
For years, the press has covered for Antifa with the same tired line: “It’s not an organization, just an idea.” The BBC pushed that exact spin in 2020 when Trump’s DOJ tried to classify Antifa as a terrorist organization (BBC, 2020).
But let’s be real. If a cartel doesn’t have a CEO, does that mean it doesn’t exist? No. Antifa has always thrived in the shadows: decentralized cells, encrypted group chats, and anonymous bail funds. And now we see the fruit of that network — a shooter who engraved his ammo with their slogans before pulling the trigger.
That’s not “an idea.” That’s a death cult.
The Rise of “Transtifa”
There’s a disturbing overlap most outlets won’t touch: the mix of Antifa radicalization and trans-activism, now nicknamed Transtifa.
With less than 1% of the U.S. population identifying as transgender, their connection to mass shootings is way out of proportion. From Nashville’s Covenant School to Denver’s nightclub, and now Kirk’s assassin living with a transgender partner, the pattern is too glaring to ignore.
Why does this nexus exist? Simple: both Antifa and the radical trans movement share a hatred of reality. Antifa calls truth “fascism.” Trans ideology calls biology “violence.” Both justify force to silence dissent. Put the two together, and you’ve got a cocktail that explodes in the worst ways possible.
Why Trump’s Domestic Terror Framing Matters
Trump and Vance are right: this isn’t activism, it’s terrorism. And dismantling it requires the same model prosecutors once used against the mafia:
- Follow the money. Bail funds, nonprofit shells, and foreign donors all bankroll the chaos. Cut the cash, and you cut the fuel.
- Crack the networks. Online cells aren’t harmless memes. They’re recruitment channels. Treat them like organized crime fronts.
- Prosecute accomplices. If you egged on, funded, or sheltered the shooter, you’re part of the conspiracy. Period.
For years, critics called Trump “authoritarian” for even suggesting this. But after Kirk’s assassination, the moral fog is gone. This is the bare minimum of leadership.
But Here’s the Thing: We Don’t Have to Wait for Washington
The federal government moves slow. Bureaucracies stall. Committees investigate while radicals recruit. That’s reality.
But you know what? We don’t have to wait. Citizens can act now by holding people accountable where it actually hurts: at their jobs, in their schools, in their communities.
Watch the Lefties Losing It segment (Sky News, 2025). It’s filled with teachers, doctors, even pilots celebrating Charlie’s murder online — and losing their careers over it.
- A Nasdaq staffer was fired after mocking Kirk’s death.
- Teachers across the U.S. suspended or canned for their ghoulish posts.
- A Vegas radio producer sacked for bragging about “karma.”
- Office Depot fired a worker for refusing to print vigil posters.
- Healthcare staff cut loose for laughing about it on social media.
This wasn’t the government cleaning house. It was ordinary people demanding accountability. Citizens called employers, exposed the posts, and said: Do you stand with this employee celebrating assassination? And suddenly, those smug grins disappeared.
That’s not censorship. That’s consequences. Free speech protects you from prison, not from losing your job when you cheer for political murder.
The Moral Divide
This is bigger than politics. It’s a moral line in the sand. If you can’t condemn assassination without a “but,” you’ve already surrendered the high ground.
The left used to pride itself on protecting dissent. Now? They call speech violence and violence justice. It’s upside down. And it’s why they’re losing people globally, from London to Madrid to Seoul, where crowds chant Charlie’s name.
We don’t need new laws to reject that madness. We need courage, clarity, and a refusal to let these people hide behind euphemisms.
Final Thoughts
Trump is right to target Antifa and Transtifa as domestic terror pipelines. But the truth is, every citizen has a role to play. When you see someone cheering a murder, don’t shrug it off. Don’t wait for Congress. Call their boss. Call their school. Call it out.
Because the culture we tolerate is the culture we live in. And silence is surrender.
