The problem is that republicans across the country are holding vigils, mass funerals, trying to rename highways, putting up memorials on every state campus, holding days of national remembrance, and Im sure more. Ive been massively vocal about the joy of his death since the first minute I e heard about it as well as trying to fight back against his "he was just a debator" image being spread around. I do not want to continue to talk about him, but the more the right loses their minds over him the more I need to fight back against his false persona.
i am constantly telling people he was a white supremacist fascist and a mere difference of opinion this was not. they simply don't care. they don't see it as justifiable regardless. we're fucking cooked lol. it's over, man. nobody believes in taking out nazis anymore. nobody sees the real imminent danger and threat of fascism.
He is being used as the Horst Wessel. It’s in the Nazi playbook.

Time to flood the zone with martyrs I suppose. They should be made afriad to hold their "vigils".
