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

Congratulations to Charlie Kirk for not saying anything moronic for 12 days.

I used to be a conservative, No shit.

You know what made me change? the constant whiny bitch energy. No solutions, Just Oppose, Obstruct, and reverse everything the other guy does.

More power to you.

Please help me understand: Is that really the whole platform?

I get that it's dangerously close to a just-world fallacy to need a deeper explanation to match my observations. But the idea that a big part of what's going wrong right now is nothing but people acting in the most petty way imaginable, is just... depressing in a way I'm not prepared to feel.

I think it's a fear of being hurt and a failure to realize who is doing the hurting due to indoctrination.

Look who they elected. Twice.

Holy shit. That Loomer post is far more deliberately offensive, spiteful and downright nasty than anything I’ve seen posted about Charlie Kirk on even the most edgelordy parts of the internet.

I mean, DC canceled Gretchen Felker-Martin's book, because she posted on BlueSky "Hope the bullet's okay after touching Charlie" on the day it happened. So people are saying some crass shit, even if you haven't seen it.

I don't know why they want a Charlie Kirk on George Floyd day.

They should celebrate a man who died for no reason, who died ahead of his time, a man who couldn't breathe, not Charlie Kirk.
