Honestly kinda feel bad for him in an odd sort of way, he’s basically a reanimated corpse within the machine network

Not saying he doesn’t deserve this type of legacy, but his soul is basically in the equivalent of digital hell for all eternity

What’s insane to me is that it’s going to be the guy’s entire legacy.

He was 31 when he died and basically accomplished nothing but being a shill for Trump.

His children will see memes of their dead dad for the rest of their lives and that will be their entire frame of reference for him.

That he was a goon for trump, got shot on live TV, and was hated and reviled so much that the only thing to survive of him in history will be shitty AI memes.

Hey hey hey, thats not fair 

He will also be remembered for his grifting snake of a wife who immediately fucked JD Vance before he was even cold

I think its better he became a meme instead of a martyr for the the far right. The right wing echo chamber was calling for blood and using Kirk as a rallying call.

Thankfully the calls were crowded out by memes of him in everyday media.

But yeah its sort of weird that his kids will see his legacy of hate and racism be overshadowed by his weird wife and memes

Turning Point has been instrumental in the rise of MAGA and White Nationalist Christofascism in the US, which has harmed the entire world. He was more than just a shill for Trump. He is a major reason we are where we are.

I think the rest of their family that they see everyday growing up will give them a frame of reference for him too. Unless they are raised exclusively on the internet, which may happen but probably wont.

ikr, every time i see how old he was i'm like "he was like 7 years older than me? what the fuck?"

if he had lived anywhere near me we could have briefly been in the same elementary school
