    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.

      If the beliefs held up to scrutiny they wouldn’t be associated with the modern Republican party

      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.

      This is why the fascists are winning. They know how to play the propaganda game. Libs would have shit bricks if we tried to politicize the murder and attempted murder of the Minnesota state lawmakers.

      We’re beyond playing fair and taking the high road, Democrats still playing the game from a decade past. And fucking losing.

      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.
