I'm like it sucks totally that he was murdered, but when it comes to his hate-filled views and his hatred of minority groups, and also the way it upsets the fucking snowflake anti-freedom of speech MAGA morons, fuck Charlie Kirk and all he stood for.

I was singing this song when I heard the news. I was as happy as hell that someone turned Charlie Kirk into a good nazi, i.e., a dead one.

Little Charlie lived by the sword. Then he died by it.

seems to have been an a-hole who made sure to tell everybody he didn't really care about other people being shot down and who called for the public execution of Joe Biden, and once we've accepted that in today's political climate there are people who admire such trolling as "free speech" and "christian," while wanting to silence anything they themselves find offensive, many of us are still perplexed by the strange chorus of voices insisting that the rest of us should all suck the dead a-hole's prick

The scary part isn't that, it is his elevation to Sainthood and his death being used for MAGA propaganda and call to activism.
Now that bit is scary.
Plus the fact he had an attentive audience while alive.

Pope Leo XIV, and it'll be a bitter cold day in Hell before that happens. I've always suspected that God is a Democrat.

Besides,

These are the times that try men's souls
In the course of our nation's history
The people of Boston have rallied bravely
Whenever the rights of men have been threatened
Today, a new crisis has arisen

snip

Well did he ever return?
No, he never returned
And his fate is still unlearned (what a pity)
He may ride forever
'Neath the streets of Boston
He's the man, who never returned.

their prime when he actually started dating his wife when she was in her 30's. It shows these RWers don't live up to what they actually say.

Your post is on DU, but it has nothing to do with the Democratic party. Given that, I'm fine with anybody venting. I consider it a bit self-indulgent and something to be outgrown, but you do you.

We all need to be a little more robust. The word game of politics is hardball.

And why not? Their dear leader loves to revel in hate and admitted it. Just look at how they're happy about Biden starting from their mob boss occupying the White House.

And not the other shooting victims. They only care about him because he got young people to vote for Trump and they lost their voice to the young and that makes them sad.

If he hadn't helped them win he would have been ignored like all the others.
