I was driving down I-75 in suburban Detroit today, and on one of those big electronic billboards.......

...... a Charlie Kirk memorial ad popped up, presumably paid for by some RW organization.

I rarely hear his name when I'm out and about. MSM and social media would lead you to believe his death is the only thing people are talking about.

And again, he, and no one else, deserves what happened to him, but this has reached the nausea stage.

Which was mostly only known by people he targeted

However, I know I realized he was "hot" again in the manosphere a few weeks ago because I spent some time googling to find out what was wrong with his teeth.
