Mind you, we don’t even have National Days of Remembrance for all of our presidents. Not even every US president, someone who literally held the highest public office, gets this kind of recognition. Yet we’re handing it out to a political influencer.

It’s honestly bizarre that we’re now giving podcasters a National Day of Remembrance. Since when did being a political influencer qualify someone for the same kind of honor as fallen soldiers, presidents, or public servants?

Again, it’s more the idea that if you are approving this day of remembrance it is the senate’s commitment against all forms of political violence, which should be nonexistent in an advanced democracy. Additionally, you’re mixing apples and oranges here. JFK/MLK are honored with federal holidays or deeply institutionalized memorials, but what passed for Charlie Kirk is just a symbolic resolution. This is not a legal holiday, not a legal day off, not a sweeping societal canonization.

It’s not about the person himself, but what his death stands for. Political violence in its most potent form

This is one of the most recent, most prolific, most public political assassinations of all time.

And? Do you know how long it took JFK to get a day of remembrance? You know… an ACTUAL president? Martin Luther King an ACTUAL activist that made REAL and LEGAL (not ppl bitching at Starbucks employees for a drink) changes that affected society beneficially (oh! and he didn’t remotely insight violence or spew hate speech)??

Answer the question. Do you wanna know how long it took for both of those men who actually did anything influential for society to get a day of remembrance?

Clearly didn’t read what I just said. The day of remembrance has to do with a commitment against political violence, not Charlie Kirk himself. So it makes sense everyone in the congress would assent to it quickly, no?

sweetheart, I don’t know how else to tell you this but when you have a day of remembrance for Charlie Kirk, the day of remembrance is for Charlie Kirk. Do you not have any brain cells… like what?

The reason why it was passed so quickly is because the person who was pushing it was literally friends with him 😭

It took 50 years for JFK to get a day. 15 for MLK. If they wanted to truly “condemn political violence” they would have treated Melissa Hortman’s murder with more sensitivity and respect, but they didn't. The only brain dead one in this conversation is you.
