Dude's dead. Reposting his hate amplifies his message and makes that matter less. We should collectively forget he ever existed, and it would still be too good for him, but it's the least we can do.
I'm glad he is dead and ignoring his hate filled legacy is like pretending that Nazis didn't exist.
He should be remembered as the hate filled shitstain he was so that we can learn from history.
Especially when people are still trying to paint him as some kind of saint. Let's be clear about what he really was.
There are plenty of hate-filled shitstains to fight. Why would we focus on one who isn't here anymore? As to learning from history: we don't, we won't, we've proven it. And by "we" I mean "humans".
He is still influencing things amongst conservatives and makes a damned good punching bag, after all a corpse can't fight back.
And a good thing too, have you seen the size of his face? Couldn't have hit that thing with a sniper rifle.
(do not expand on the joke, do not expand on the joke, it stands on its own merits, do not expand on the joke)
While I despise Kirk, he had some important things to say. One quote I'm particularly fond of is "Ohgh. Gurgle. Ahhhhhh"
Oh yeah, fair enough. That one I want to get in cross-stitch to hang over the fireplace.
Oh did something to him?
Keeping his message alive seems pretty important for everyone who wants to handwave the type of person he was.
Ignoring them and letting him die a failed martyr and weirdo pariah is the best thing we can do to remember him.
You can't ignore it, anymore than you can ignore chest pain or trouble breathing.
Ignoring the tumor hoping the cancer will go away.
Remember Rush Limbaugh? Neither do his supporters.
IDK, soon enough republicans will want to name schools and other shit after him. I think, for now at least, people need to be reminded who he was. He doesn't deserve to rest in peace.
Ugh, you're right, they totally will. Yeah, I can see a case for pasting printed copies of his tweets all over such institutions (for example).
I'm guessing you're joking, but he already has a highway name after him. And there's like 20 schools name after that governor who opposed black people trying to enter Universities in the 60s lol. If you don't think Americans are crazy enough to do so, you need a reality check.
What? I was agreeing that this is one hundo percento something those cunts would do. I didn't know they'd already named a highway after him, though 😑
Sorry about that, it's hard too know when people are being sarcastic in these time.
I would agree, but it's been less than a year since he was shot, so the jury's still up on which way his legacy will go.
