Nah, i hate this move to name good stuff after horrible people. I get that Trump wouldnt like his name being attatched to it, but heres the thing: is trumps suffering more important than everyone elses suffering? Because by imortalizing his name into a project like that you are ensuring that future generations learn of his ideologies.

I want him to get kirked where his name just vanished from the history books. A small footnote that he was the least popular president ever, outside of that it would be so nice if I never heard his name again after like 3 months.

What really sells it for me is erika kirks reaction. I havent actually been following the whole situation as again i dont care about right wing grifters, but projecting myself onto erika i would feel devestated that my husbands memory literally lasted like a month. All that influence, all those lives ruined, and yet you left a grand total of 1 month worth of memes as the culmination of your entire life story, then you are forgotten. That, to me, is both the best "punishment" and more importantly the best way for the world to signify to these people that their ideologies arent tolerated. It sends a message to their family about what happens when you attatch yourself to a monster. It shows the world that even if you care about a grifter, the world does not.
