Meanwhile, my previous professor received death threats that they "need to be lynched" for refusing to mourn him. They were also fired for stating they won't mourn him.

But I thought it was in remembrance of what would have been George Floyd’s 47th birthday on October 14th. I think they messed up and should fix it.
"George Floyd was an African-American man born on October 14, 1973" Yes

Remember kids, the midterms are only a year away. If your Democrat is on this list, you need to find a new one!
We will once again be faced with (a) More Trump or (b) ???
Third-partiers, clock is running out!
Third parties are irrelevant. They have failed continuously for over a hundred years. How is someone going to build an effective 50 state organization, find and vet candidates that won't betray us in office, raise awareness with absolutely no old media coverage and social media that buries them, then win an election in 14 months? There are some solid progressives running in Democratic primaries, and they are the ones that need resources.

Oh they want me to remember Charlie Kirk? Oh... okay, I got you, fam. I'm going to dedicate my one annual Facebook post to remembering classic Charlie quotes.
I'm going to need to collect some real bangers. I want to share the entirety of the man I know him to be.
Don't forget to include the vids of when he accidentally "debates" people that were actually prepared

That's cool, we'll rename it to Fascist Fountain day later on.
A whole day to remember the Epstein files? Seems like overkill when they could just release them.
October 14 as "release the Epstein Files day" seems like an odd alternative to simply releasing them.
The left has been remembering Charlie Kirk for the past week and a half - the right hasn't seemed to enjoy it very much.
No one should forget his literal quotes. He should be remembered for the christofascist he is. Women shouldn't be allowed to attend his funeral because they should be barefoot and pregnant at home.
Some of that hateful bigots choice opinions:
-Gay people should be stoned to death
-Most people are scared when they see a black pilot flying a plane
-Taylor Swift should reject feminism and submit to her husband
-No one should be allowed to retire
-Leftists should not be allowed to move to red states
-British Colonialism was what “made the world decent"
-The guy who assaulted the Pelosi's should be bailed out
-Multiple black politicians “stole white people's spots"
-MLK Jr was “an awful person”
-The Great Replacement Theory is reality
-Hydroxychloroquine cures COVID
-Vaccine requirements are “medical apartheid”
-Guns deaths are acceptable in order to have a 2nd amendment
-Women's natural place is under their husband's control
-Parents should prevent their daughters from taking birth control
-George Floyd had it coming, the Jan 6th protestors didn't
-The 1964 Civil Rights Act was a “huge mistake”
-Encouraged parents to protest mask mandates
-Mamdani winning in NY is a travesty because Muslims did 9/11
-Muslims only come to America to destabilize Western Civilization
-Palestine "doesn't exist" and those who support it are like the KKK

I plan to celebrate George Floyd’s birthday instead since it’s on the same day.
I think I just discovered a way to make more holidays
I don’t understand why any Dem would even bother voting on this. Just abstain or don’t show up for the vote. What could they possibly gain from a yes vote?
Showing their trues Colors

So they want the memes every year, loud and clear!
I figure they intentionally picked a day that is coming up soon, instead of using the day he died to ensure everyone still has their feathers ruffled and see if they can instigate another murder they can capitalize on
Maybe tie it to 50% off rifle scopes and a free marksmanship lesson. In memory of why we celebrate this day.

"But we're not the same guys. Our billionaires are not like their billionaires. They will save us."
This means paid time off for US workers…. Right… right?
Lol, no.
More like national day of celebrating his death, hopefully.
Start organizing protests and building effigies to burn.
This is going to backfire on the GOP in spectacular fashion.
The DNC... well that depends on if Americans keep voting them back in.
Please Americans, run for office or support someone new to politics running for office!!

This is a day off protest against Nazi correct? Right!
If I get off work, cool. But fuck this piece of shit and the pedos that worship him.
Old Jesus was too woke and empathetic. Remember new Jesus, and not the Epstein files He demanded be released.
Excuse me? Is this theonion? nottheonion?

Nice, now we have an American Bonfire Night. Luckily Kirk had equally recognizable facial features so the effigy's will be on point. Remember to add a lil fire cracker in the neck for both a realistic finish, and a throwback to the OG Gunpowder Plot 😀
How are y’all gonna celebrate Charlie Kirk Day? LOL
Here’s some suggestions:
-T-shirts and signs with his most despicable quotes -Maybe one that has him depicted like a Saint on a stained glass window, showing how he went out, as is tradition.
HIS NAME IS CHARLIE KIRK
HIS NAME IS CHARLIE KIRK
HIS NAME IS CHARLIE KIRK
HIS NAME IS CHARLIE KIRK
HIS NAME IS CHARLIE KIRK
I laugh my ass off at people who get offended when you literally quote him word for word and in full context. There is nothing like that with MLK or anyone.
He was a paid propagondist who preached hatered, bigotry and advocated for genocide, and his legacy speaks for itself.
Ahh, yes. Racist Nazi's deserve remembrance days in Trump's America.
Funny there are no days to remember the hundreds of CHILDREN killed by Republicans.
When I pooh that day, I will name it Charlie Kirk. Then I'll flush that stinking turd away with pleasure.
