It's very similar to Trump's "charisma," but Kirk's appeal was more to younger angry, hate-filled Magats. I imagine Charlie Kirk was being groomed for national office to succeed Trump as the next MAGA messiah of hate. It explains their massive overreaction; they feel cheated by the loss of their future leader.
