When you’re alive, your words and actions are weighed. Being dead does not give you a clean slate. But some people think they can rewrite history to further a political agenda.

Is there a link to read this Onion article OP? Or is it just a meme cover picture?

This seems like as good a place as any to vent.
My conservative family were furious at me for sharing stuff on IG criticizing Kirk after he got 86’d. My mom sent me a text telling me that I “need to repent” along with some Facebook meme about how “only demons celebrate a person being murdered.”
This is all occurring shortly after my dad was diagnosed with cancer, which is the only reason I decided to call my mom back after several days of ignoring her calls. She immediately started telling me how “disturbed” they are that I’d “celebrate” the death of a “good Christian man” like Kirk.
It’s worth noting that I’d never once heard my parents mention Charlie Kirk, and I know for a fact they don’t listen to podcasts. In fact, at one point, my mom even called him “Charlie Krist.” That’s how unfamiliar they are with him.
So I know for a fact that what happened is this: my parents probably tangentially knew who CK was because he existed within the racist media sphere that they consume, but they never actually paid much attention to him. After he died, I guarantee they saw all the media lionizing him and talking about what a great man he was and how the evil leftists were “taking his words out of context” and they just accepted that as true without doing any further looking into it.
I’ve been absolutely seething for days about this. For every awful, evil thing that this regime does, I’ve got a front-row seat to watching Trump’s biggest cheerleaders celebrate it. And these are the people who raised me.

The onion is the most honest news source at this point.
