Problem is, it provided the perfect opportunity for Trump to weaponize it for the MAGAts.
As politically active and aware as I am, I never gave more than cursory glances to Saint Chucky's work while he slithered among us.
I remember a couple of rants here and there about how rugged manly men aren't toxically masculine enough these days because they are too woke, and I looked at him and thought "This twat has a face like a Cabbage Patch Doll and he's passing judgement on what is woke and what passes the Donald Trump Super Hyper Bigly Yuge Rock Hard Pecs Six Pack Abs Masculinity Test?"
It was like ANY TIME I saw Candace Owens' face, or a headline, while scrolling about. One glimpse, "fuck THAT," kept scrolling.
So the revisionist history on Chucky began about 30 seconds after they slammed the ambulance door.
He wasn't a prophet, a seer, a sage, a visionary, a role model (even though young male MAGAts DID see him as such).
He was just one more dirtbag with a big mouth and the "smarts" to recognize stupid, gullible, easily manipulated morons...just like Trump.
And the guy was snuffed by a MAGAt from a FAMILY of MAGAts and Trump is using this as PROOF that he and Pam Bondi need to silence and shut down every non-MAGAt in America, which is what he wanted to do ANYWAY, but this greases the wheels for him, EVEN THOUGH HE'S MAKING IT ALL UP! NONE of it is REAL! A "lib" didn't kill Kirk. He wasn't "groomed" or "indoctrinated" into woke liberalism. HE'S A FUCKING MAGAt.
So...I look forward to the day when there aren't 50 Chuck E Sleaze headlines on every news website. How can we miss him if he won't go away?

I hope any public employees being fired or suspended for exercising their first amendment rights are suing.
