Hold up, because this gives me an idea.

Let's embrace the celebration. Let's lean into honoring the man they claim Charlie Kirk was. Make remembering him all about the tolerance for debate and discussion, the respect for minorities and women, the traditional values of freedom of speech. In honor of Kirk, speak truth to power, and challenge the conventional ideas.

Nevermind, my mind isn't limber enough for all thos gymnastics.

Treat it like Guy Fawkes day. Burn an effigy

The effigy should of course start as a fountain of blood from its neck before finally being slowly burnt.

How about we just celebrate all those things on Charlie day and let the man fade away?

Let the actual origin of the holiday become a bit of trivia for generations to come, like how Columbus Day becoming a national holiday was more about Italian-American pride than the man himself

Although granted, with how little Trump wants to do with this, we're more likely to get a ballroom day instead

If we get Charlie day I will be spending the holiday celebrating actual Charlie Day

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 3 points 17 hours ago

If this happens, I promise to exclusively call the holiday charlie day and put up decorations with Charlie Day's face on it

Have them write his quotes on banners to hang in the streets
