Why the fuck are they riding this dead dick so hard? He was a horrible debater, held repulsive beliefs even to some people on the right, and wasn't even really that popular. He was a laughing stock to the majority of people and a perfect poster child for ignorant racist idiots the world over. Like, if you're going to martyr someone, pick someone who stands up to scrutiny.
Well he did a good job of upholding his PR for those who are dumb enough to believe it because he deceptively edited his videos for them.
They are using his strong religious beliefs as a lighting rod. If you slam Charlie Kirk, you're basically slamming Christianity. It is easily used as a weapon.
oh that's pretty easy. i'm against genocide.
Some dead people become martyrs and that has happened here.
That dumb fucking shooter.
doesnt seem like kirk is the martyr, but more like the shooter is sorta becoming one, because MSM and the gop cant afford to blame one of tier own.
Apparently that's what they respect. Make of that what you will.
Social effect, easy martyr. Fascism loves this.
they seem to be doubling down the fact the shooter was even further right than he is, the gop ,trump and MSM cant afford to alienate the right by blaming a right winger. its simple they cant blame thier own people. so they have make something up like tying obscure reference of the shooter associating with the "trans" people.
