So, can we call reaping what you sew getting "Charlie Kirked" now? Watching the media and Trump already canonizing this guy as a martyr is sickening. Seriously. "Oh... he got young people into politics... he was a cultural icon... what a tragedy..." Like, never mind that this piece of trash was just another bigoted mouthpiece for the establishment literally poisoning America. I don't have any sympathy at all for him or the rest of his ilk. Fuck 'em all but six.
He was a MAGA propagandist who actively, enthusiastically, supported and encouraged PedoCon treason, pedophilia, rape, corruption, oppression, and much more. He was a major part of what's wrong with America, and we are stronger tonight by his death.
We need more of this.
lets shorten that to getting 'Kirked' instead, rolls off the tongue better. buuuut, yeah, we absolutely should get his name synonymized with something awful, like colbert did with rick santorum.
Rhymes with murked. Lol

That's why we gotta get ahead of this, make kirk a joke instead.
Sadly we’re not the billionaire owners or millionaire managers of large media concerns. This will go whatever way they decide it will.
At least for everyone still in that world - which is a lot!
