I guess that’s where communism and capitalism meet: people with power asking “why should I be nice to people I have power over”, and too many of them treating it like a rhetorical question.

Epistemic bubble assed comment right there.

Kirk may not be getting mainstream media attention right now, but he’s still revered as a martyr on the right. Statues of him are going up in every state. High schools in Texas added him to the curriculum of civil rights leaders next to MLK. College Republican meetings still begin with a moment of silence in his memory. And my God, the fundraising in his name is relentless.

Hell, MAGA is getting into slap fights about whether he would have supported the invasion of Iran - and isn’t the strength of a dead man’s legacy shown by how many people twist his words to claim that legacy for their own?

If you think the right buried Kirk’s death, you haven’t been paying attention.
