His legacy will be Irony. He died of the gun violence that he blithely normalized, and since he openly disparaged and dismissed the concept of empathy, he received none.

MAGAs keep bring up his family, as if the people who they are deporting to life sentences in 3rd world torture prisons don't have families.
His wife is a young, hot blonde, who just inherited a shitload of Nazi gold. She'll have some MAGA shill at her side soon. She'll be fine.
The same as Rush Limbaugh. Nobody cares.
Oh man, Rush. I vaguely remember his downfall from painkiller addiction, and he was some sort of radio pundit.
I think, in the long run, Kirk's legacy will be his assassination and it's contribution to the season of assassination now unfolding. (The two failed Trump assassinations, the UnitedHealth assassination, and now Kirk).
Beyond that, he was an agitator and a grifter. I have the same empathy towards him and the people around him as he had towards school shooting survivors, Palestinians, and etc. It's what he would have wanted.
Don't forget the Minnesota assationations
Someone who got a lot of money via preaching hate
He wonβt be in a history book; in five years nobody will talk about him.
Aside from a shitload of memes? Not very much, they will find another disproportioned faced asshole to replace him and his name will be erased from history
One of the people pushing the idea that gun violence is okay, actually. So by his own logic no one should feel bad for him.
Yet there is so many posts and comments about how awful it is, someone blocked me last night for calling them out on their bollocks.
Hate, division, degradation of the debate process, normalizing disinformation, encouraging fascism...
Racism, bigotry, hatred, greed, grift, sexism, fascism, and more of the same.
who?
Someone who had a big head and tiny face
He lives on in my block list
A bigot and fascist
Kirk was a state terrorist who called for people to get shot because it protects gun nutjobs.
He also said empathy is for the weak. I'm returning the favour by not having empathy for him but having it for others.
His only legacy is a stupid meme format where someone will point out that the guy in the meme was a fascist jackass Everytime it gets posted.
Change my mind.
The hilarious bit about this is that's not even his meme format lmao. That's another dude. He's just gonna be another unknown after this all dies down.
"I think it's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational." - Charlie Kirk
This. Right here. This quote. I suggest his family make his tombstone out of stainless steel so they can easily pressure wash away the marker pens of people scrawling these words across it.
Thoughts and prayers.
Getting assassinated is his legacy for all those who did not know who he was. I think getting assassinated will be his legacy for all those who knew who he was.
His legacy is organizing to bring white supremacist anti-lgbtqia+ rhetoric more mainstream via the Republican party. He organized to oppress people.
his legacy is that you can make a profitable career out of right wing grifting.
Kirk was a fascist activist, propagandist, and organizer. He was as much "just a content creator" as Goebbels.
Who the fuck cares?
