The gunshot that echoed across the Utah Valley University campus on Sept. 10 didn't just end the life of Charlie Kirk, it cracked open a window into a simmering undercurrent of radical activism that some have long warned about while others never heard the term: "trantifa."

Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, was known for his defense of Christian values, free speech, and traditional norms. When he was struck in the neck by a bullet, it was during a debate on transgender-related violence, a hallmark of trantifa.
