Charlie’s Voice

Charlie’s Voice

I’ve been working with Ally on how to communicate in Charlie’s Voice.

What I believe I’ve found is that he starts with people that are willing to have a conversation. Usually, the people he is speaking with have the start of their conversation with Charlie written out. They expect to have a one punch knockout.

It seldom goes that way.

The reason is that Charlie starts investigating how to connect with them or to get them to articulate what they mean by the words they are using.

This allows him to use his wealth of general knowledge to have a conversation where they are working from talking points, emotions, and opinions and Charlie is working from a fact based world view.

I’m still working on this, and we are still looking from articles by you.

Charlie’s Voice

I know what I want to do, I am just not able to do it justice currently.

What is Charlie’s Voice?

This is taking up Charlie’s bloody microphone, not in hate, but in love and compassion.

It is being willing to listen to people ask questions and addressing them honestly with the truth and compassion. It is being willing to stand up for what is right but without acting out.

As one person put it, WWCD, What Would Charlie Do?

Since I believe that Charlie lived by WWJD, this is not meant to be a slight to any Christian; it is expanding on those ideals.

His voice is strong and positive.

But how did he convince people?

From what I have seen and read, his strongest point was to give people a smaller concept to grasp and think on. To personalize it. Instead of talking about weaponized lawfare, he talks in terms of a single person. Do you purchase things with credit? How do you pay for those things? How do you record those payments?

It is about getting the person to have something personal to work with.

So many of the big lies are so big that people can’t wrap their heads around them.

One I’ve heard recently is “Trump is a pedophile.”  Now the logic is a bit twisted, but I think it goes something like this: Trump’s DOJ took Epstein to court and got him convicted.  But because the court didn’t release the names of the people involved with Epstein’s crimes, Trump must be one of those people. Now the Biden administration couldn’t release the Epstein files because Trump had the records sealed. Now that Trump is attempting to get the files released, but it hasn’t happened yet, he must be on the list as a pedophile. Q.E.D. Trump is a pedophile.

On the other hand, Biden isn’t a disgusting pedophile, even if his daughter Ashley wrote about her father taking showers with her at inappropriate ages, because Biden is a kind man, while we know that Trump is a criminal.

Trump having material protected and guarded by the Secret Service, which he had the legal right to have, is proof of criminality.  Biden having classified material stored in open boxes in his garage is not proof of criminality. Even though Biden never had the authority to remove those classified documents from their proper locations.

It is hard to follow the logic. But it is there, you just have to tease it out.

Come Out Ye Libs and Wokes

Lyrics

Oh, come out ye libs and wokes,
Come out and fight me like a bloke,
Show your profs how you won debates up in Harvard,
Tell them how Charlie Kirk made you run like hell away,
From the freedom loving people of America.

I was raised in a Wheeling school where the blue drums do beat,
And the loving leftist feet they tramped all over us,
And each and every night when me Da would come home tight,
He’d invite the neighbors outside with this chorus:

Oh, come out ye libs and wokes,
Come out and fight me like a bloke,
Show your profs how you won debates up in Harvard,
Tell them how Charlie Kirk made you run like hell away,
From the freedom loving people of America.

Come let us hear you tell
How you silenced Charlie well,
When you thought him truly canceled and refuted,
Where are the shouts and jeers
That you bravely let us hear
When our campus heroes of youth were persecuted.

Oh, come out ye libs and wokes,
Come out and fight me like a bloke,
Show your profs how you won debates up in Harvard,
Tell them how Charlie Kirk made you run like hell away,
From the freedom loving people of America.

Come tell us how you slew
Those young conservatives two by two,
Like the students they had signs and facts and arrows,
How you bravely shut them down
With your safe spaces all around,
And you frightened those young patriots to their marrow.

Oh, come out ye libs and wokes,
Come out and fight me like a bloke,
Show your profs how you won debates up in Harvard,
Tell them how Charlie Kirk made you run like hell away,
From the freedom loving people of America.

The day is coming fast
And the time is here at last,
When each leftist shill will be cast aside before us,
And if there be a need
We will all sing, “Godspeed!”
And yell, “I am Charlie!” in chorus.

Oh, come out ye libs and wokes,
Come out and fight me like a bloke,
Show your profs how you won debates up in Harvard,
Tell them how Charlie Kirk made you run like hell away,
From the freedom loving people of America.

Request For Articles

Starting this Wednesday, there will be a new weekly feature tentatively named “Charlie’s Voice.’

The goal is to produce a persuasive article to carry Charlie Kirk’s voice forward.

The guidelines are something like this:

  • Take a left-leaning stance, position, or statement at face value.
  • Listen to the statement/argument as if a single person were presenting it to you, face-to-face.
  • Extract from the statement/argument the actual points of the person presenting.
  • Using persuasive language, present your counterargument in such a way that it brings that person closer to our ideals and goals.
  • Maintain neutral language, no gotcha phrases, no barbed zingers.

I do not expect this to be easy, which is why I’m asking for help from you.

Submissions go to info@troglodite.com. We’d prefer a Google Doc, LibreOffice document, or a Word document. Submissions will be edited for grammar and may be sent back with red pen if more than grammar changes are required.

Please include the byline you wish to have your article published under.

Examples

If you want to write on these topics, feel free; I’m putting them out here now because I will be working on something for Wednesday.

President Trump is a felon.

Example response:

You are correct; Donald Trump was convicted in a New York state court of 34 counts of falsifying business records.

If there are 34 counts, does this mean that Trump was convicted of 34 different crimes? The court says yes; maybe you won’t agree with the court.

Over the course of nine months, Trump signed 9 checks to Michael Cohen. The checks were normal checks with a memo line. The prosecution claimed that the text on the memo line was fraudulent, resulting in 9 different counts. Because that memo line was repeated in a ledger, each entry in the ledger became another count.

The prosecution decided that there were 4 counts for each check that Trump wrote, leading to the 34 count number. All of which were for the payment of one bill.

This would be similar to you buying a new set of golf clubs on credit, then writing a check once a month to pay off the bill, but instead of writing “New golf clubs,” you wrote “Entertainment.”

The prosecutor’s argument was that anything apart from “hush payment” was fraudulent.

There will be more, of course; this is just the start.

I look forward to your submissions.
