Let's remember Charlie Kirk for who he was.

"I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that does a lot of damage." -Charlie Kirk

I'm against it & Kirk had made several statements that he was as well. You're trying to argue that what Trump is doing after his death is what Kirk advocated for. That is simply not true. TPUSA was designed to capture a lot of young conservative men, many who were opposed to the genocide & the unconditional support of Israel. Kirk too would express doubts, especially about Netanyahu. While he may have supported Trump, he wasn't Trump.

I'm not trying to garner sympathy here. What I'm trying to do is say... "Is this what the left really wants?" Do they want murdering people, maybe those they care about, to be celebrated by people on the right? Do they want their own form of fascism? Lead by example. If the left has better ideas, then show the moral character it creates.

Not here on Lemmy apparently, or at least not in this community especially.
