I honestly don't care whether she grieves for her husband or not. It's not my business. We like to have this idea that the "sanctity of marriage" exists but the reality is that the institution has long been used for a variety of practical purposes. Politics, diplomacy, finance, immigration, bearding, and wedlock. A lot of people think they marry for love and find it's not what they expected several years later. I certainly can't blame anyone for not being sad that Charlie Kirk died.
The more interesting thing is the schism growing amongst MAGA influencers. Candace Owens clearly released this with the intention of damaging Erika Kirk's reputation amongst their base. And while I normally don't care about influencer drama, when it comes to MAGA that influencer drama ends up influencing the POTUS and fucking us all over.
