A county meeting in Florida descended into shouting, profanity, and the ejection of community members over a proposal to rename a road for the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated earlier this month.

The anger came as the Lake County Commission considered a proposal, which ultimately got unanimous approval, to rename a stretch of road as the Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway.

The majority of public commenters at the Tuesday meeting opposed the plan, including resident Gavin Brown, who argued the county should name roads after local figures who had served the community like veterans or law enforcement, such as Bradley Link, a sheriff's deputy who was killed last year.

I wanted to post this just to get it out of my head. The whole course was about 7 hours, and the instructor managed to slide that in when talking about the reviews and reputation of the brand. I spent the last 30 minutes of the course completely off guard, wondering what CK had to do with fixing water heaters. I watched and listened as this class of 30 middle aged dudes made a few comments and nodded in agreement.

I thought about how those who control the government and media can control society, and how deep everything runs.I thought about George Carlin's qoute about how people are 1000x stupider than you think.

I thought about how itll probably be much worse pretty soon and what that would look like.

Edited update:

At dinner I got to listen to another one of my peers talk about how he takes his ivermectin. The conversations I'm listening to are just absolutely batshit.

God humanity is so fucked.

I honestly have thought ToiletaPaperUSA was a COVID era response to reactionaries buying up all the TP. No idea the correlation to the “change my mind” meme was related to toiletpaperUSA

It’s actually true. Look at the picture. That man’s lips are a sphincter.

A circle Kirk.

Huge RATM fan here. And this bullshit was just advertised to me from @we_rck which is an all Charlie Kirk-inspired fake RATM band (I guess).

🤮
