I mean, really to follow the theme, a third founder would need to die as a result of not having access to abortion, not themselves be aborted.

The current head of Toilet Paper USA is a woman. J.D. Vance's demon spawn just needs to develop some complications in utero and the prophecy will be realized.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Yeah, but she'll just have an abortion in secret somewhere. The rules don't apply to them lol.

[–] jve@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Or die in childbirth

i really hope charlie and erika kirk's children come out as lgbtq and starts a leftist equivalent to turning point usa.

in fact, is there a leftist equivalent to turning point usa?

There was something called The Gravel Institute, but it didn't last very long.

Ran out of funding, I think.

Have you seen leftist in a room together? The only thing we love more than fighting right-wing politics is fighting each other.

[–] frisbird@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

Given that the US went through 2 wholesale leftist purges in its history and zero rightist purges, I would say that looking for an existing equivalent of any rightist phenomenon is asking a lot.

a leftist equivalent to turning point usa

If there is, I hope they call it "Just Keep Going Global"

[–] DylanMc6@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago

the name would probably be something along the lines of "the path forward"

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I have seen smaller ones, but it doesn’t really matter if they don’t have the virility of Turning Point.

Part of Turning Point’s whole pitch is to counter overwhelming β€œleftist” voices in universities and such. There can’t really be an equivalent to that unless US colleges get mega right wing.

Between the Trump voter immigrants getting deported and anti vaccine people or their kids dying of preventable diseases, I don't think US ever before had any period where "it won't happen to me" was falsified so rapidly.

Oh god...it all comes full circle and in 3s.

Erika Kirk killed by future husband JD Vance in some kind of immigrant/ice kink play.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

For it to be full circle shed have to die due to restricting abortion access, probably having JD Vance's baby.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

... where Usha is playing the immigrant, Erica is playing bad cop, and JD is playing good cop.

The intro is JD and the casting couch.

Like, just him and couch, and its framed as if the Couch is a person, got the cuts of the 'prior to meeting' interviews, the Couch is just a couch, JD is badly acting at being enthusiastic, as he normally is.

Cut to Erica as bad cop detaining Usha as she returns to her own home. She already has the keys, so she decides to detain Usha in the sex dungeon, located under a trap door near the outdoor stone/brick pizza oven.

Finished casting the casting couch, unaware either Erica or Usha are home, JD now hungers for cheese pizza, walks over to the backyard pizza oven... notices the trapdoor ajar.

He then walks in on Erica BDSM torturing Usha. JD is equipped with all holster, no pants.

JD begins to lecture Erica on the rights of the accused, Erica refuses to cease cruel and unusual punishment, JD is forced to draw down on Erica.

But he has a Sig P320, so, in their scuffle, it does an uncommanded discharge, which domes Erica.

A 4 Act play, in only 3 Acts.

Likely a couch was involved

According to Wikipedia, someone named Bill Montgomery - never heard of 'im, but then I don't travel in those circles.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 39 points 2 days ago (2 children)

72 year old man founds a conservative youth organization. Talk about astroturfing.

[–] themaninblack@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

β€œMontgomery met Kirk when the latter was 18, after hearing Kirk speak at a small college.[4]Β Montgomery has been described as Kirk's mentor, including by advising him to start Turning Point USA rather than attend college.”

Nothing weird about that at all

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

72 year old Colonel Sanders cosplayer.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

These sorts of organisations always tend to be founded by rich, but not particularly persuasive individuals. They tend to find someone like Kirk to be the face of the organisation so they can reap the benefits without having to do any of the legwork.

I mean would you be interested in a random 87-year-old's political pronouncements?

[–] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 35 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The founders died from things they were for: uncontrolled gun access and unvaccinated exposure to viruses.

Conservatives are anti-abortion, so a karmic death from that would be dying before or at childbirth because of being unable to abort.

But of course that doesn't pan out since rich conservatives always have access to abortion. The rules are for everyone else, not for them.

[–] ChanchoManco@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think the irony could be the third founder being a pro life woman dying during an clandestine abortion.

Tries to imagine what an "aborted baby voice" would sound like, can only come up with the "Cryptkeeper" skeleton on helium...

I feel like the joke doesn't really work, they are conservatives, drowning during baptism or something like that would've been more to the point

[–] pimento64@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 days ago

"all who take the sword will perish by the sword" is pretty spot on
