      I’m glad he is dead and ignoring his hate filled legacy is like pretending that Nazis didn’t exist.

      He should be remembered as the hate filled shitstain he was so that we can learn from history.

      While I despise Kirk, he had some important things to say. One quote I’m particularly fond of is “Ohgh. Gurgle. Ahhhhhh”

      Oh did something to him?

      Keeping his message alive seems pretty important for everyone who wants to handwave the type of person he was.

      IDK, soon enough republicans will want to name schools and other shit after him. I think, for now at least, people need to be reminded who he was. He doesn’t deserve to rest in peace.

          I’m guessing you’re joking, but he already has a highway name after him. And there’s like 20 schools name after that governor who opposed black people trying to enter Universities in the 60s lol. If you don’t think Americans are crazy enough to do so, you need a reality check.

      I would agree, but it’s been less than a year since he was shot, so the jury’s still up on which way his legacy will go.
