    You have a statue of MLK because he deserved it.

    You should not get a statue for Kirk for the same reason that there is no statue of Joseph Göbbels in Berlin.

    They’ll need to use an electron gun to carve the face on the regular sized head if they want to make the scale accurate.

    In what universe is Charlie Kirk at all comparable to MLK?

    Release the rest of the Epstein files. Release the Yahoo emails. Why is there a drawing of Epstein grooming children allegedly at Mar a Lago?

      They both got shot, apparently, is the link. He was their guy, and he got shot. Therefore, he’s just like MLK! /s

      He’s not, and they know it. Pretending he’s a martyr for as long as they can is rhetorically useful to them.

      He isn’t and everyone knows it. It’s what used to be trolling except it has now become a core principle and they are a full two or three generations into believing their own bullshit. It’s like that guy who loves banter until you hit him with a slapper and it’s a “he’s gonna fight you in the parking lot” kind of situation but he called security and told them threats had been made and the cops are getting involved but it’s ok because a few days later he got stabbed 7 times in Lovejoy NY for talking shit in a pool game and all was right with the world.

      Sorry I got lost on that one but you get the point.

    This is the martyr they wanted for whatever reason to finally roll out their next phase. He’ll be used to lock up/kill anyone that says anything negative about the administration. They’re treating this nazi like he was jesus fucking christ.

        We’re going 120 mph into fascism and then Charlie is killed and they go “now you’ve done it! This is a turning point!!” and increase the speed to 130 mph.

        Dealing with conservatives is an endless sequence of “this is common sense, but how does that relate to Trumpers?”

    Yeah go ahead. Put it with a plaque that says what will be his famous quote “I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year”.

    Go ahead, hold him higher. Ring that bell as loud as you can. Identify yourselves as sycophants and fascists. Tell us what we already know.

      There was a republican politician who wanted to take back the word Nazi like how black people use the N word. We are at the point in society where calling someone a Nazi, or a fascist, is not the worst thing you can do. In fact, it encourages the bootlicker to double down on their rhetoric.

      The US Republicans and moderates welcomed fascism. How convenient as it’s at a time where mostly all WW2 vets have passed away. The irony of their grandchildren welcoming the same evil they fought against.
