How are y’all gonna celebrate Charlie Kirk Day? LOL

Here’s some suggestions:

-T-shirts and signs with his most despicable quotes -Maybe one that has him depicted like a Saint on a stained glass window, showing how he went out, as is tradition.

HIS NAME IS CHARLIE KIRK

Nice, now we have an American Bonfire Night. Luckily Kirk had equally recognizable facial features so the effigy's will be on point. Remember to add a lil fire cracker in the neck for both a realistic finish, and a throwback to the OG Gunpowder Plot 😀

Ahh, yes. Racist Nazi's deserve remembrance days in Trump's America.

Funny there are no days to remember the hundreds of CHILDREN killed by Republicans.

Celebrate by tossing red dye into every fountain in town!

[–] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (5 children)

(A good alternative if you don't have red dye to toss in the fountain — or if you just don't feel like using dye — is the blood of one or more fascists.)

those DEMS are definitely DINOS, that are probably being challenged by magats in thier seats the next election, or they are not running anymore, so they show thier true colors. plus they are voting, because thier megadonors, and AIPAC wouldnt fund them anymore( which funnily enough also funds gop)

Atheists, im counting on you to establish a tradition that makes this a day mocking Charlie Kirk. I believe in you.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 5 days ago (2 children)

What does any of that have to do with atheism? Make it make sense.

Why not have someone compose a song about him, which you could make the new theme song for the maga movement?
