The most acceptable loss for the Freedumb to own guns? I saw plenty of things making fun of him. Even before his body fully hit the floor. My favorite was a package of fruit gushers that had been altered to say Kirk Gushers and had his face with a flow of liquid coming from the neck.

That's because they were threatening anyone who made fun of ck being shot.

Consider who is paying comedians their salaries..

Still can't tell if comedy is legal again or not. Someone make a flowchart.

Friendly reminder that the right immediately buried the incident after they found Kirk got murked by one of their own

The story itself was buried, but It basically created NSPM-7. I think they got exactly what they wanted out of the Charlie Kirk killing.

Epistemic bubble assed comment right there.

Kirk may not be getting mainstream media attention right now, but he's still revered as a martyr on the right. Statues of him are going up in every state. High schools in Texas added him to the curriculum of civil rights leaders next to MLK. College Republican meetings still begin with a moment of silence in his memory. And my God, the fundraising in his name is relentless.

Hell, MAGA is getting into slap fights about whether he would have supported the invasion of Iran - and isn't the strength of a dead man's legacy shown by how many people twist his words to claim that legacy for their own?

If you think the right buried Kirk's death, you haven't been paying attention.

They’re not brushing Kirk under the rug, they’re brushing his shooter under the rug.

They’re definitely working overtime to make him a martyr

see you can laugh about it, because you don't have to fear to hurt some right wing nationalists and you don't have to show that you are the better person while literal nazis abolish any form of civil agreements. 

most comedians really live in the comfortable zone of the political "center" not realizing that the center in the middle of a political right shift also shifts further to the right.
