The assassination of Charlie Kirk on 10 September last year sent shockwaves through the conservative youth movement. A year later, students say no-one has been able to fill the void. In the immediate aftermath of Kirk's death, support for his organisation, Turning Point USA (TPUSA), surged. Since then, however, many students have noted a slowing momentum and more infighting. Critics argued that Kirk's debates were designed purely to stoke outrage and garner social media attention, while promoting misogyny, racism and homophobia. The BBC contacted TPUSA for comment for this article, but has not received a response. Tap the link in @BBCNews’s bio to learn more. #BBCNews
