2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints
While the analyses provide a thorough overview of Charlie Kirk's life and legacy, some alternative viewpoints are worth considering. For instance, [4] notes that Kirk's legacy is being honored by Republican leaders, who are calling for a revival of conservative values in the wake of his assassination [4]. However, this perspective may not be shared by liberal or progressive groups, who may view Kirk's legacy as divisive or inflammatory [4].

- The perspectives of liberal or progressive groups on Kirk's legacy and the implications of his assassination [4]
