Kirk's funeral is going to be a first-class s--t show this week, I mean this guy is getting more attention than any celebrity that I can think of or any elected leader.
Let's wait till Trump kicks the bucket and the MAGAs completely drain American tax dollars to spend on HIS funeral.
They're probably going to encase the bastard in a solid gold pyramid with a large diamond tip bigger than anything in Egypt for all we know.

Republican lawmakers are coming up with a legal defence to prepare for the inevitable class action from victims of their antidemocratic hate speech pogrom.
The First Amendment, which enshrines free speech as a fundamental right for Americans, protects even hate speech, unless it directly incites violence, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) says.

MAGA will claim
a) Robinson was inspired by far left groups (now conveniently proscribed as terrorist organisations)
b) celebrating kirk's death is now hate speech according to a)
c) any democrat politician or high profile celebrity who has said anything negative about the late Mr Kirk will be censured (even retrospectively) according to a)
On Monday, Republicans in the US House of Representatives introduced resolutions to censure Minnesota politician Ilhan Omar and remove her from committees.
Members of the republican party are also calling for vigilantism JD Vance used his appearance on The Charlie Kirk Show to encourage listeners to pursue punishments for opponents themselves.
"When you see someone celebrating Charlie's murder, call them out, and hell, call their employer," Mr Vance said in his closing monologue.
Online, Republican politicians and other conservative influencers, such as as Matt Wallace and Mr Musk, spearheaded efforts to expose critics of Mr Kirk and attempt to have them fired from their jobs. State governments and universities have also sacked dozens of teachers, academics, firefighters and other workers for comments they made online.
On Tuesday, the president filed a $15 billion defamation lawsuit against four journalists at The New York Times, adding to a growing list of litigations against news outlets for negative reporting.
He previously filed lawsuits against ABC News and CBS News , both of which settled out of court (in the case of CBS forcing them to also terminate Stephen Colbert as part of the settlement).

Sounds to me like the Right Wing has taken cancel culture and flipped it on the Left Wing.
It also feels like we're going back to the dark days of McCarthyism only this time instead of being labeled a "commie" you will get blacklisted as a "terrorist" for not bending to Trumpism.

In addition there has been a deification of Charlie Kirk with mass rallies all over the US and around the world promoting the #we are all Charlie kirk
His assassination also coincides with anti-mass immigration rallies. Many rally organisers are using his memory as a call to rise up against their own governments.
Ironically his death is also led to a surge in interest in turning point USA

Well like I said in another post, it mirrors the history of Nazi Martyr Horst Wessel who was murdered by communists and Hitler's people exploited his death to further their own propaganda.
