I honestly don't even understand why he has a memorial. He was just some guy. I said the same thing when Trump ordered flags at half staff for him.

Let's put aside his politics for a moment.

Kirk wasn't elected. He didn't hold any political office. Literally just a random person who was killed.

What he was known for was spewing hate, and then his own blood.

That's why they memorialized him. He was a fascist mouthpiece and they loved him for it. May he rest in piss

If I ever visit one of his memorials, I'll make sure to piss on it in his honour.

They did everything they could to martyr him.
