Not to beatify or honor him, but so that readers could enjoy the piece in a less distracted environment. And so that it didn’t seem like I’d be ignoring the elephant in the room. I suppose I was a bit unclear, but I won’t be participating in the rituals and performances you’re seeing on cable news and social media… more to come!
One thing that bothers me is that the right is already giddy about using this as a cudgel to dominate us with.
They want a congressional resolution to “honor” Charlie Kirk… and while some of them are doubtless sincere, the whole thing smacks of forcing us to genuflect for their martyr.
Worse, I have zero doubt that there are at least TWO different MAGA influencers currently plotting to make moves on his followers. These motherfuckers would have pulled the trigger on him themselves if they thought they could get away with it, but we’re still gonna get their big performance and demands that we pay fealty.
To paraphrase Orwell, The Party will have decided what it is we must say, and they’ll use it as an excuse for the next crackdown.
It's all performative now. They don't give a shit about that guy. He was odious just like their MAGA leader. The fact he's getting more respect than PRESIDENT CARTER did after his death (put those flags way up Mikey J because Trump is being inaugurated) is disgraceful, but says everything about this group.
It's already a "Democrat Violence" issue. WTF? Was it a group of democrats that violently attacked the capitol police Was it a Democrat that made fun of Paul Pelosi being nearly beaten to death? Was it a Democrat that was murdered by secret service while Trump play acted being "shot"? Was it a Democrat that shot Gabby Giffords? Or a Democrat that killed the state rep in Minnesota?
Bullshit. Fuck this fucker and anyone that virtue signals over his rotting corpse.
Be well
Shelved it? Why.
BFD. I would rather you say you shelved it because of the shooting at the Colorado school rather than some MAGA grifter.
Again: BFD
Send all the hate to me you want, but I don't care. He's done worse for the nation than a bullet did to him.

Some things in life are not worth our time, it’s truth. Take care of yourself.
