Social acceptability of ‘political terrorism’ enables hit list on searchable data base

Special to CosmicTribune.com, September 15, 2025

The subset of America dedicated to what President Donald Trump has labeled “Marxist lunacy” is much larger than many had assumed.

The outpouring of celebratory posts on social media both at home and abroad following the killing of Charlie Kirk has shocked not only conservative intellectuals but relatively apolitical types who had not even known who Charlie Kirk was.

Many dismissed the escalating war of ideas as limited to a small number of cranks on both end of the ideological spectrum.

There are signs the unwoke “silent majority” has awakened, but is it too late?

A website has been launched to chronicle social media posts listing conservative targets for assassination by the political left.

Those on the list include podcaster Joe Rogan, Harry Potter author JK Rowling, conservative political commentators Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh, among others.

The website “Expose Charlie’s Murderers” includes statements posted on social media by individuals who allegedly espouse violence as well as those celebrating Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

“We have received nearly 20,000 submissions,” the site says. “This website will soon be converted into a searchable database of all 20,000 submissions, filterable by general location and job industry. This is a permanent and continuously-updating archive of Radical activists calling for violence.”

In response to being targeted, Rowling, said, “If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you’re illiberal. If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you’re a fundamentalist. If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you’re a totalitarian. If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you’re a terrorist.”

Shapiro said, “We will never stop debating and discussing. We will never stop standing up for what America is and what she should be. And we will never let Charlie’s voice die.”

Walsh said people were sending him screenshots of posted death threats, saying, “A lot of concerned people are sending me these screenshots (and dozens more). I appreciate their concern. But I’m not surprised and I won’t be going into hiding. We have to be louder and bolder now than ever. Or else the demons who killed Charlie win. And they cannot win.”

The website’s administrators said those celebrating Kirk’s death or calling for the political violence to continue include U.S. military contractor employees, students and faculty from multiple colleges and universities, early childhood teachers and daycare workers, assisted living and senior living facilities employees, city fire department employees, attorneys, a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, school board members, a U.S. Army career counselor, among thousands more.

At Seattle Central College, “Kill All Charlie Kirks” was spray-painted on a college sign and an image of Kirk being killed was posted on a message board stating, “debate this.”

Political commentator Sarah Stock said: “Not only are leftists gleefully celebrating Charlie’s murder, they are now using it to incite violence against conservative college students. This is political terrorism.”

Celebrations of Kirk’s murder and “next” targets are also abundant on the leftist social media platform Bluesky:
