Kirk is being posthumously celebrated by much of the mainstream press as a noble sparring partner for center-left politicians and pundits. Meanwhile, the very real, very negative, and sometimes violent impacts of his rhetoric and his political projects are being glossed over or ignored entirely.
I will trash talk him. The big headed fucker was a MAGAt politician that made a career of riding the wave of hateful and stupid politics that has been allowed to grow. Glad he is dead and sad the shooter was a one-off MAGA crazy because I was hoping for another hero like Luigi that would scare the fuck out of MAGA and billionaires.
*pundit. Not a politician.
