Okay I kinda assumed that they might try to turn Charlie Kirk into a martyr but seriously what the fuck

Here's a list of real things that have happened in the past 2 days:

He's being awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom

JD Vance personally escorted his body back to Arizona in Air Force Two

All American flags both in the US and abroad are to be flown at half-mast for the rest of the week

Republican senators are calling for a statue of him to be built in the Capitol (quote: "we have one of MLK don't we?")

News anchors are sobbing live on television

The governor of Utah has pledged to give the shooter the death penalty

Vigils are being held nationwide

Evangelicals have been equating him with Jesus

In the House of Representatives a request for a prayer devolved into screaming that the Democrats killed him

The New York Yankees held a moment of silence before the game and proceeded to lose 12-2

People across the country are losing their jobs en masse for criticising him online

MSNBC's political analyst was asked what created the environment for the shooting, said it could be his divisive rhetoric, and was fired on the spot

A UK student wrote "he got shot lol" in a private group chat and it made the news

The State Department announced that they will revoke the visas of foreign nationals who "praise, rationalise, or make light" of his death on social media

Also it was 9/11

nobody talks about how hard it is to write when your internal monologue is like

“he walked—wait no—he ambled—ugh—he trudged??—he perished actually. just delete the scene.”

Do not waste your tears over fascists. "He was somebody's this, he was somebody's that". Michael Brown was someone's son, and so was Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Emmett Till. Sandra Bland was someone's daughter, and so was Breonna Taylor, while she slept. Sonya Massey, too, was someone's baby girl. Latasha Harlins was someone's baby. Martin Luther King Jr was somebody's son, husband and father, and yet the FBI killed him. Fred Hampton, Malcolm X, Patrice Lumumba. Hind Rajab, someone's baby. Khaled Nabhan, and his granddaughter, soul of his soul. Refaat Alareer. And on and on and on, every martyr, every Black and Palestinian person whose been told over and over again how cheap our blood is, how NOTHING our life is. I do not weep over the death of white supremacist, I fucking cheer. One less of them means a Black or brown child can live another day.

writer culture is being obsessed with subtext, foreshadowing, long-winded metaphors, slightly concerning imagery, subtle allegories, parallels, and any other literary device you can get your hands on
