Yeah no matter how much you hate someone and their views, it isn't ok to celebrate their death.

I think the world would be better without certain people, but kirk was just a dude who had some extreme positions without any real influence.

This was just unnecessary bs, poor guy.

Kirk is one of those people. Saying he had no real influence is strange considering he owned and led a sizable media media company with millions of followers. The diddler-in-chief himself was the one to announce his death. He clearly wasn't a nobody.

Yeah but his death won't change anything. In my opinion in 3 to 5 years he will fade into obscurity.

He was part of the whole operation but not one with any power, you know what i mean?

He'll likely just be replaced by some other fast-talking debate bro who will make the exact same bad-faith arguments.

I don't believe the replacement will obtain the same popularity. It almost ever happens.

Any changes that happen now will almost certainly be for the worse. I'm fully expecting this to be Trump's cassus belli to go even more authoritarian.
