The anger came as the Lake County Commission considered a proposal, which ultimately got unanimous approval, to rename a stretch of road as the Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway.
The majority of public commenters at the Tuesday meeting opposed the plan, including resident Gavin Brown, who argued the county should name roads after local figures who had served the community like veterans or law enforcement, such as Bradley Link, a sheriff’s deputy who was killed last year.
“Wouldn’t it be more suitable and ideal to have a memorial to honor someone who fought to serve and protect us, have a true Lake County resident who was a brave American hero?” Brown said.
What in the actual fuck is wrong with people. Kirk was literally nobody.
They’re doing the Wessel to Kirk - using a relatively unknown person’s death as a unifying figure of propaganda and white-washing.
The Wheezle! Propaganda, buuuuuuuuuudddddddy.
The Carotid-Wessel.
Americans have always been into their cult of personality. You see it every time with their presidents, they’re rabidly pro their guy.
Apparently tribalism and jingoism are the core American traits. It’s astonishing how strongly.
Yeah, but at least people (generally) know who a President is. This guy was just a random wingnut influencer. Seriously, how many people even know who the fuck he was before he was shot?
You’d be surprised; he was a big influence on the younger MAGAts and pulled a lot of dumb kids to their cause.
I suspect the big tour he was doing was part of a project to groom him to take Trump’s place as the leader of the MAGA cult once the orange menace kicked the bucket.
He had about the same kind of charisma and the skill to make himself sound smart and successful to dumb people.
I mean, quite a few online people know who Catturd is, too. I’d be asking the same question if someone were to murder him as well - do we really need to Ronnie Raygun either Catturd or Charlie Kirk?
I didn’t.
