I pick up the newspaper and everyday there’s a new horrible story about him that’s somehow become trite since all this oaf does is disparage other, loaf about, and take what he can from others to engorge himself. He’s ruining this country in every way, shape, and form but somehow he has millions of cult followers. He’s above any punishment yet forces us to suffer his existence like some sort of sick, kafkaesque joke. This absolute piece of shit has no redeeming qualities and yet we let him keep breathing air. It’s impossible to scroll online without seeing his gross orange face pop up on screen. I swear if I hear him say “I hate Mondays” or “I love lasagna” one more time I am going to lose it. Save us from this Garfieldian agony.

    Only if it’s from natural causes. In case you hadn’t figured it out sooner, he’d otherwise become a martyr. You think the Charlie Kirk stupidity is bad? Imagine how bad it world be if the cult’s object of worship was popped. Such a martyrdom would give the cult something to rally around after his end. If he dies naturally, however, the cult is FAR more likely to descend into infighting with a side of conspiracy theory, and tear itself apart as all the horrible people tried to scramble for whatever they could get by stomping on each other. Cults are complex monsters but have ways to survive the death of their leaders.

      Yeah, all the morons were celebrating Kirks death. Making memes and videos and some even calling for the rest of his family to be murdered as well. Even his kids!!! And what happened? His popularity went through the roof. He was just some name before. A talking head that you heard about had said something dumb every now and again. Now everyone knows who he is, and worse those on the right are all singing his praises and turning point USA exploded with millions in donations and over 100,000 requests to start new chapters.

      When that dude did take shot at Trump, it only energized and emboldened MAGA and conservatives in general. Contributions, voter turnout, volunteers, all increased dramatically. And, we then had to have that fucking photo plastered everyone afterwards of “triumphant” fist bump right after.

      People celebrate this shit, but fuck me, its the worst fucking thing you can do. And history shows this. When MLK was killed, same thing happened. Support for his cause went through the roof. Doing the very opposite of what his killers would have wanted. Gandhi, Harari, Biko, Malcolm X, Kennedy, and many, many more, all killed hoping to achieve one goal, but ending up strengthening the resolve of those they hoped to intimidate or control. Hell, even Caesar’s assassination over 2000 years ago proves this point. They killed him to save the Republic, and in doing so, destroyed the Republic and The Empire was born.

      History is clear, just leave people to fuck up on their own. Killing them rarely works.

    Much like how Trump’s second term makes us wish for the innocence of his first term, what comes after Trump will be worse. Nothing ever gets better. All things deteriorate until they break and are replaced.

    Even though things are worse than they have ever been, America today is the best it’s ever going to be again. When the history books are written about this era we will see the 2020’s as America’s second great antebellum.

      Is it not cause to celebrate that the figurehead of one’s source of ire is eliminated?

      Like, let’s pretend for a moment he isn’t human, not because he’s a disgusting vampire but because for this analogy he can’t be.

      So like, let’s pretend for a moment that 10 years ago a robot, who’s programming is visible to the whole public, was elected to office. That robot has one goal, increase the GDP. Nevermind that GDP is a bad metric, nevermind that no intelligent programmer would design such a machine this machine was not borne of intelligence, it was borne of the desire to raise the GDP.

      Ok, so President Robot decides the very first thing we need to do to raise the GDP, is start deporting anyone that doesn’t look like president Robot’s programmed self image, something like this 🎃. If your smile isn’t creepy enough, and you don’t have enough ridges on your head, president robot says you’re up next for deportation. Nevermind that you’ve been here your whole life, nevermind that your parent’s came here 40 years ago. You don’t have ridges and a creepy smile, get on the plane. Dont like it? Ok protest.

      So, its been 8 years, president Robot’s team of robots managed to change the metrics by which it is determined who becomes the next leader. This was of course, done quietly and accross many places. President Robot’s team is thorough of course, and has managed to make the new minimum threshold to take office only around 45%, that’s WAY less than what they needed before. So now, president Robot can be re-elected using only the robots made to keep president robot in power instead of needing real people who need to be convinced because they have “needs” and “families” and “rent to pay”.

      So when president robot suddenly, after years of the whole country saying “You’re neglecting president Robot’s maintenance” finally seizes up and can’t pump oil through it’s clogged cooling and lubrication system, I’m sure people will celebrate. NOT because the Robot is dead. NOT because they hate the robot. But because the Robot can’t hurt them anymore.

      This Hyperbole brought to you by the side of my bathtub

        In 44BC, Roman senators killed Caesar in order to save the Republic. The outcome was that death destroyed the Republic. The chaos it caused led to the rise of Augustus, and the birth of the empire.

        In 1584, William the Silent was assassinated by a Spanish Catholic Loyalist hoping that his death would put an end to the Dutch revolt against Spanish rule. It didnt. Instead it unified the Dutch, and accelerated the creation of the Dutch Republic.

        In 1865, John Booth killed Lincoln, thinking his death would weaken the support for, and the resolve of the Union. It didnt. Support grew and the resolve strengthened and ensured that the Union was the only way forward for the US.

        In 1948, A Hindu nationalist killed Gandhi to stop his influence and pro Muslim stance. Instead his death unified India across religious lines and discredited Hindu nationalism for decades afterwards.

        In 1965, the Nation of Islam murdered Malcolm X, intending to silence him and stop his growing influence. Instead, he grew even more popular and his influence reached around the world and reshaped how racial justice was understood.

        In 1968, racists looking to destroy the civil rights movement killed Martin Luther King. Instead, the support for civil rights went through the roof, and lead to the passing of the Fair Housing Act just days later, which solidified Kings legacy.

        In 1977, Apartheid supporting Police officers murder Steve Biko. Their goal was to destroy the Black Consciousness Movement. Instead, his death drew international attention and anti apartheid support gained global reach and Biko became a symbol of resistance.

        Theres loads of examples, all through out history of dumb cunts killing people to shut them up, kill their movement, or other wise influence history. And almost, if not every time, their desired outcomes have not come about. Killing Kirk, did the same thing. His influence and legacy only grew. Millions in donations, and over 100k requests to start charters for Turning Point USA.

        If you want to kill the message, then kill the message. But killing the messenger is dumb as all fuck. You can debate a live person, shut them up with facts and speech. You cant do shit to martyr.

        i get the hate for trump, hes putting tarriffs on my country, but i dont want to see him dead, even my worst enemies i don’t want dead. I don’t believe i have the right to end someone’s life, the only time id get close to that is in self defense if its justified.

          To many, something like that does look like self defense right about now. Unfortunately the situation appears quite dire from within, I’m afraid someone will do something and make things worse with martyrization. I can’t say I won’t celebrate when I hear the news that his McDonalds encrusted veins couldn’t do the job anymore and he keeled over in the night (because I’m almost certain that’s how its going to happen)

    This is my prepared bottles of rum, dedicated to when I no longer needs to share a planet with these bastards

    Currently I have bottles for:

    Trump, Putin, Musk, Murdoch and Orban.

    The last one is what has been declared “The bottle of the unknown bad guy”, it is meant for when I find out about a person dying and my immediate feeling is “Good riddance”.

        Top tip, see if you can get a present box like this, with the printed ribbons it looks really professional.

        To print the ribbons I used a Brother label maker with cloth bands you can print on.

        One mistake I made was using a sans serif font, a proper serif font like Times New Roman would have looked way classies

      I read it all and it doesn’t make sense. Garfield really doesn’t fit most of the things said, like he isn’t online all the time, isn’t ruining America, etc.

      I guess that makes it a shit post.

        “Isn’t running America” jfc millions of dollars was spent for a sick slow-rolling display of his delusions of prowess in Kennywood. He got his own prime-time TV show. His fame and existence is a testament to the gullibility of the USA population.

        But you can find Garfield online at literally any time? Go check for yourself!

        And it’s subjective, but Garfield is definitely ruining America, in my view?
