    Hold up, because this gives me an idea.

    Let’s embrace the celebration. Let’s lean into honoring the man they claim Charlie Kirk was. Make remembering him all about the tolerance for debate and discussion, the respect for minorities and women, the traditional values of freedom of speech. In honor of Kirk, speak truth to power, and challenge the conventional ideas.

    Nevermind, my mind isn’t limber enough for all thos gymnastics.

      How about we just celebrate all those things on Charlie day and let the man fade away?

      Let the actual origin of the holiday become a bit of trivia for generations to come, like how Columbus Day becoming a national holiday was more about Italian-American pride than the man himself

      Although granted, with how little Trump wants to do with this, we’re more likely to get a ballroom day instead
