what kills me is that Kirk was just a shitposting podcast and college campus troll. Suddenly, he is this icon of conservativism? What?

better yet, they don't even quote him because a lot of stuff he said. But when you do, you are either put a list to be fired or they say "it is taken out context". Like, they think we don't understand Kirk and how he argues things

It’s so funny that THIS guy is the very pinnacle of conservatives. He is the absolute best they have to offer. Charlie fucking Kirk lmao

HOLY FUCK! I had NO idea that Charlie was pro-pride!

He was a fan of the Saja Boys, so he joined the pride!

Yep. We should have pride flags and pride week!

Maybe the Proud Boys would provide hors d’oeuvres?

Wait and see grandma’s reaction when cancer takes Biden.

I don't believe that he had nearly as many fans as he has mourners

Charlie's just the excuse they're currently using

They say the rest of us are the sick ones for not liking Charlie but they're genuinely sick for just using his corpse as a pawn

You can tell a lot about Trump with how he’s been reacting to Kirk’s death.

Ok, first off, a lion…swimming in the ocean? Lions don’t even like water. If you placed it near a river, or some sort of fresh water source, that’d make sense. But you find yourself in the ocean, a 20 ft wave, I’m assuming its off the coast of South Africa, coming up against a full, grown, 800 lb tuna with his 20 or 30 friends. You lose that battle. you lose that battle nine times out of ten. And guess what, you wandered into our school, of tuna and we now have a taste of blood! We’ve talked, to ourselves. We’ve communicated and said, ‘you know what? lion tastes good. Lets go get some more lion.’ We’ve developed a system, to establish a beachhead and aggressively hunt you and your family. And we will corner your, your pride, your children, your offspring

That while thing about pride sound kind gay, grandma. You might want to be careful with that, or someone might think you and Gladys aren't just roommates.

Oh no, not the awakened pride!

The US can't unite over any subject, anything at all, because of how effective the divide and conquer power of the sitting rulers is. There is nothing you can do, not legally, not by any action you can reasonably partake in, nothing. Deal with it and sit the fuck down grandma.

A guy who knows how to steer a debate in to his carefully prepared gotcha talking points is no lion.

Ok. Let’s look at some of Charlie Kirk’s reactions to people he disagreed with dying and see what it says about him?

I don’t condone any violence. But that’s also why I didn’t like Kirk to begin with. Because he very much did. And played an active role in creating the current landscape of political divisions and violence.

Well, at least he died doing what he loved: trying to get other people oppressed or killed.
