    This is grotesque, I couldn’t imagine thinking this is normal or okay. These people are so detached from reality.

      they’re creating a new religion before our very eyes. best to get versed in discussing theologies because that’s the propaganda language they speak and how we’ll deprogram enough of them to survive this

    Could you imagine how these psychopathic wierdos would be screaming if the same display was at the Democratic Convention?

    I would 100% take a selfie in a recreation of the setting where a hateful piece of shit got murdered, but not for the same reasons as the people at this event.

    you know, before that troll gurgled his last slur the term “getting kirked” was more likely to mean you’re being fucked by a spaceship captain.

    I like the new meaning instead.

      I guess “penetrated by something that isn’t good for your health” is the common denominator

    Actually it’s a good idea! For some it’s a place for happy selfies, for some its a place for sad selfies. Nobody will complain about it!

    The four-day event, called “America Fest”

    More like Whitoid Fest where not only the fundies come in but also closet Nazis and Kluxers.

    It should be a shooting gallery. ;)

    Is the ‘fest’ in ‘America Fest’ short for festering?

        Did the idolization of a barbaric torture device not clue you in?

          Hey now the crucifix is a plenty civilized torture device. Unlike the savages who just killed you before desecrating your corpse the Romans lashed you to a cross and displayed your still living body then they’d take your corpse down eventually. Do you not see the fruits of civilization when compared to the savagery of the barbarian, especially since you may get running water and lead poisoning in return.

          You know I was initially making what amounted to pro-Roman shitpost but uhhhh it kinda turned into a weird commentary on the United States midway through.

      Reminder: they harassed math teachers for wearing a shirt with blood near the neck for Halloween. It wasn’t even about Charlie Kirk.

      If anyone left of TPUSA did this MAGA would be screeching.

    Churches have a statue of a man being tortured to death on a cross prominently placed within them. So it’s kinda on brand.

    Why not add a wax figure of Kirk, wearing exactly what he wore that day?
    Bonus: you could have another figure molded in pose of the moment when he was shot? “Yes, now you can experience Charlie’s exact moment of martyrdom!”

    And you know what? There would be a line.
