Why would we fly a flag for a shitposter who is a victim of his own radicalism? MAGA-on-MAGA violence. What exactly is the reason to make this some patriotic crusade?
Jon Green, chair of the Johnson County Board of Supervisors, one brave individual who drew a line in the sand.
Good. Charlie Kirk is an antagonist and does not deserve any posthumous merit.
Trump refused the same for John McCain
The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.
* Advocated the Bible verse that referred to the action of stoning homosexuals Leviticus 18:22
* Most people are scared when they see a black pilot flying a plane
* Taylor Swift should reject feminism and submit to her husband
* No one should be allowed to retire
* Leftists should not be allowed to move to red states
* British Colonialism was what „made the world decent“
* The guy who assaulted the Pelosi’s should be bailed out
* Religious freedom should be terminated
* Multiple black politicians „stole white people’s spots“
* MLK Jr was „an awful person“
* The Great Replacement Theory is reality
* Hydroxychloroquine cures COVID
* Vaccine requirements are „medical apartheid“
* Guns deaths are acceptable in order to have a 2nd amendment
* Women’s natural place is under their husband’s control
* Parents should prevent their daughters from taking birth control
* George Floyd had it coming, the Jan 6th protestors didn’t
* The 1964 Civil Rights Act was a „huge mistake“
* Encouraged parents to protest mask mandates
* Mamdani winning in NY was a travesty because Muslims did 9/11
* Muslims only come to America to destabilize Western Civilization
* Palestine „doesn’t exist“ and those who support it are like the KKK
Nazi Lives Don’t Matter
It’s a shame there aren’t more politicians with the courage to stand up to stupidity. We need more people like Jon Green.
Charlie Kirk was a right-wing extremist who railed against the concept of empathy and who himself repeatedly advocated for political violence against the broad Left. He was cited positively in multiple mass shooter manifestos.
His legacy is one of blood and ashes.
Fuck honoring that.
Good. Don’t reward treason.
Republicans and the media are trying to sane-wash Charlie Kirk. The fact is that He was a treasonous fascist with hateful views. Gun violence is not something we should ever celebrate. That being said, Charlie Kirk sure did.
After the 2020 election, Kirk disputed the results and denied that Trump had lost. On January 4, 2021, Kirk announced in a tweet that Turning Point Action would be sending more than 80 buses to a January 6, 2021, Trump „Stop the Steal“ rally near the White House in Washington, D.C., to protest the outcome of the election.
Busing rioters that tried to kill the VP in a coup is treason.
George Washington executed sentenced people to death in the Whiskey Rebellion for infinitely less than bringing a brigade-strength amount of hostile people to the seat of government.
the dude isn’t a gov official in any capacity never mind the kind of person he is.
he is a victim of a crime not some kind of honorable hero, there is so many victims daily that probably more honorable to honor.
there no argument to respect his position or him personally to fly flags since he lack both.
Not happening. Not appropriate for what this person stood for.
Stop trying to force people to accept the cults bullshit.
Maga is a violent terrorist organization headed by a pedo.
Why should we empathize with anyone mourning his death?
„I can’t stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that — it does a lot of damage.“
I needed some hope of decent people actually existing in the real world. Thank you OP. <3
“There will be consequences if you do not mourn his death to our expectations.”

If we are gong to lower our flags for this. It is only justified we lower them each time a young student is guned down in our schools. How disrespectful to cater to one and not acknowledge the other.
Good, I abhor vigilante violence and it’s disgusting to do half mast for ***him***
Half staff for a neo nazi influencer makes WW2 vets roll over in their graves.
Flying a flag at half staff for Charlie kirk is like hanging a flag at half staff for David Duke. Why should we encourage that behavior? Leave it for people who actually leave a good legacy for the country.
Trump didn’t order half staff for Melissa Hortman. Why in the world should we lower it half staff for Kirk??
What about the 2 senators and their DOG that were murdered!!
I’m surprised Trump didn’t order Kirk’s carcass to be given a state funeral complete with lying in state in the capitol followed by a full honors military funeral.
Trump rapes children
It’s absolutely crazy how much they’re doing for this man but all they can do for school kids who get shot is offer thoughts and prayers.
Remember when Trump, who is all over the Epstein files, and his pedophile protecting party stopped flying state and federal flags at half mast for Jimmy Carter?
They set the fucking precedent.
Good. Why should he be honored in such a way?
Good man, Mr. Green of Iowa City. Hope he’s not alone.
My county! Go Jon Green!
charlie kirk – „he gets us.“
Good fuck this bullshit. He was a propagandist full stop.
That’s a real hero.
I’d rather fulfill his desire to have the Epstein Files released.
People acting like he’s some kind of saint is so weird and creepy. He was a horrible, uneducated, bigoted person, and yet a right-wing shooter shot a beautiful golden retriever, Melissa Hortman and her family and not a peep about these actually decent people being murdered from the likes of Trump because they were Democrats (even the dog apparently).
Good. More of this please.
Finally, a Dem leader, albeit local, with a spine, not only pointing out his Governor’s hypocrisy, but the harm CK has done to the nation.
Finally some backbone. In PA Shapiro 100% capitulated and made all these statements about “honoring Charlie Kirk.” It’s disgusting. At least Pritzker made the flag lowering for victims of political violence. That’s far more appealing than watching your governor try to earn points with people who will never vote for him.
Charlie Kirk was not a government official, he ran a religious organization. They are trying to compel religious speech, in violation of the 1st ammendment.
Trump refused to fly the flags at half staff for John McCain, a man with more honor and integrity in his dick hair than Trump has in his entire 300lbs+ fat fuck body.
Charlie Kirk was just a guy. A white Christian nationalist, xenophobic, homophobic, fascist sympathizing piece of shit, but also just a guy. No military service. No elected office. No true altruistic service to this country in any way shape or form. He did *nothing* to better this country.
He died as he lived; promoting and excusing violence.
Treat others without humanity and don’t be shocked when you’re treated without humanity. Kirk said in April of 2024 that Jews were inflaming white hatred by saying they weren’t white. He said George Floyd died of an OD when the medical examiner said the facts. He spread hatred against women and people of color. Hate begets hate
Everyone should be defying it. It’s absurd, disturbing, and outrageous to fly it half-staff for him. Like go ahead and mourn him if you are a psychopathic lunatic who loves guns more than children and hate people of color and women, but the only flag that truly represents him is the MAGA one. The American flag represents absolutely nothing he believed in.
Kirk wasn’t ever in the military. He wasn’t an elected official. He wasn’t a government employee. There’s absolutely no basis for the flying of flags at half-mast, or the military honor guard escorting his casket to the the plane, or fucking Air Force 2 being used to transport his casket. Republicans are pretending he was some governmental figure who the American taxpayers should be paying for. Meanwhile, he was multimillionaire who earned his living by spreading ideological hate, and encouraging division among the American people.
