    yes, but only the biggest brightest bonfires.

    will charlie kirk be known? nah. will Donald Trump be known? absolutely.

    the bigger the bonfire, the more damaging it is to society.

      I barely think Trump will be remembered. In 600 years we’ll have a completely different economic/political system. I can’t image our quaint ideas of ‘nations’ lasting much longer. This economic/political system was a flash in the pan from just after the Napoleonic wars till about now. I’m not sure what will come soon, but we’ve been stuck with an antiquated system now for over 70years.

        ever heard of Genghis Khan? How about King Solomon? Judas ring a bell? Pharaoh Akhenaten?

        “But trump isn’t nearly as bad as half those people”

        Just wait. The worst is yet to come.

            you have heard of them

            doesn’t matter if I know their claim to fame. it’s about name recognition. at least that’s all OP was asking for.
