The MAGA cult is so weird. No one cared about the lady that was trampled to death on Jan 6. But Kirk, he needs recognition.

Who it is is meaningless as it’s all about marketing. Kirk was an internet troll of no consequence before his death, but the name trended nicely. See [Horst Wessel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst_Wessel) for the literal Nazi playbook move that they’re doing with Kirk.

You're overthinking it. Kirk's "Turning Point USA" brand had swing with young people and that is what they're capitalizing on. I'm too lazy to look up the exact details of this, but here in FL Desantis signed some kind of law essentially telling schools they had to let people start their own Turning Point chapters (but obviously anything LGBT is illegal.) .edit I stopped being lazy. https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/local/state/2025/10/28/desantis-partners-with-turning-point-usa-founded-by-charlie-kirk/86930361007/

Nah, the thing they're capitalizing on isthat he was murdered and can be treated as a martyr and saint.

Which is why they get really mad if you point out per his own words he was fine with what happened to him

That's kinda how everyone in politics is.  A tiny sliver of dead people have useful circumstances to push an agenda.  There's over 15k homicides a year, but people will cherry pick until one checks the right boxes.

Kirk was their attempt at a Horst Wessel

There was a neo-Nazi who carried out a school shooting that same day…..but I guess that’s not so important huh?! 😢

Fun fact: Wu-Tang’s debut single, in 1992, is called “Protect Ya Neck”. Great song. Very great song.

But if you hit "Some school shootings are a small price to pay for gun ownership as long as it only happens to other people, don't you dare post this quote or I'll try to get you fired" blvd, you've gone too far.

Old news but good. There's no reason to name public roads after dead nazi Youtubers

Lowercase n nazi. Obviously he was not a member of Hitler's army in the 1940s.

Neo-nazi. For the next time you want to clarify

No, but he was a racist transphobic individual that spread hatred. So he shouldn’t be honored.

Charlie was leaning as far right as one could, his entire life. I gotta say I was surprised to see how far left he was leaning at the end. One of the last people on earth who deserves his name on anything, regardless of which way he was leaning.

UghFudgeBwana Apr 2, 2026 +2
That's not fair. I'm sure there's a septic tank somewhere we can name after him. After all, they're both full of shit.

What is the highway named now? 30? 06?

Governor Hobbs has done some great work since becoming governor. At least it seems like it from an outsiders perspective.

She has acted as a public servant representing all the citizens of the State. She bumped against the inherent corruption that's ingrained in our politics a few times, but navigated it as well as could be expected. I'll vote for her again.

It tracks that one of the fiercest advocates of political violence is a republican hero

Charlie Kirk was a racist, hateful, bigoted, homophobic, stupid piece of garbage. No wonder Republicans idolize him. He is the perfect Republican.

Americans will name public infrastructures after dead podcasters.

Maybe they can just name a local fountain after him instead.

Or a trash can at a local dog park.

The bots won’t let this story die as if it’s a bad thing the state of AZ didn’t waste millions of dollars to rename a highway.

America's interstates and highways are the circulatory system of the nation. They serve a very similar purpose in capitalism as arteries and veins in the human body. Is it just a little *ironic* to name a highway after the guy whose most famous for getting his carotids blown out? Have they considered naming a dog park after him? Put a Charlie Kirk bronze statue in the middle for the dogs to sniff and admire.
