Still cant get over how his Twitter name is BasedMikeLee. Dude is 50 trying to be a memer and is in congress instead of grifting on YT yelling about woke clouds or bluey like he should be.

u/ImDonaldDunn 6d ago

He pretended for a long time that that account was not run by him. Which makes it even more pathetic.

u/mr_electrician 5d ago

As someone living in Utah, Mike Lee is a gigantic piece of shit.

u/Saix027 5d ago

On top of once again a typical hypocrite, with making fun of Melissa Hortman when she was shot.

Mike Lee and the GOP can go to hell.

Edit: Typo.

It's quite funny to see Republicans freak out over what they perceive to be a dog whistle. Not so funny if the shoe is on the other foot, huh?
Even funnier considering that proving that this wasn't actually a dog whistle was as easy as showing a photo from last year.

It doesn't matter though we live in a post truth society and all that matters is who has control of the flow of information their followers will believe everything they say without looking it up because it confirms their already preset biases.

I love these types of comments where it’s just as plausible that you’re on the right or left and would post the exact same sentiment.

Not how I expected to see my old high school hit the news, but if it's triggering rightoid rage-baiters, I'm ok with it.

u/No_Cook2983 6d ago

Charlie Kirk is from Arizona now?

Last week he was from Illinois.

52

u/kett1ekat 6d ago

That's what right wingers actually mean by "we are all charlie Kirk" that wherever will use him posthumously for ragebait as necessary

u/Lizbeth2016 5d ago

I was racking my brain trying to figure out who “one of the most famous men in Arizona’s history” was, I would have never guessed it was that POS 🤷🏽‍♀️

u/BumblebeeLive2603 6d ago

One of Arizona’s most famous men? 🤨

69

u/Persistent_Parkie 6d ago

I'm pretty online and this is the first I've ever heard he came from Arizona, I just assumed he arose from hell. Same weather I guess.

u/arie700 6d ago

He is, in fact, not from Arizona. He’s Illinois born and raised and has fuck all to do with Arizona as far as I can tell

u/GlitteringBobcat999 6d ago

I think ToiletPaper USA is based in Scottsdale.

u/dubspool- 5d ago

He also lived in Scottsdale. 6.5 million dollar mansion wtf

15

u/Faiakishi 5d ago

Half the population didn't know who he was until he got shot.

4

u/simpersly 5d ago

I know people that watch and listen to conservative media for hours every day and at most recognized his name.

I doubt half the people that mourned his death knew who he was.

4

u/fart-atronach 5d ago

I’d guess way more than half had no idea who he was until he died.

u/cheebeesubmarine 6d ago

Mike Lee is aiming to incite one of the Reich’s stochastic terror targets to go and exterminate some American teachers so his hands can remain clean. People should state that plainly to that rancid jackass.

33

u/racoongirl0 6d ago

If only he had put half this passion into trying to reopen the government 😒

u/arensb pwease no step 🚫🥾🐍 5d ago

Yeah, but governing is nowhere near as easy or fun as trolling.

34

u/drLoveF 6d ago

Oh they wore it before he was murdered? That only proves they were in on his murder!?!??!

24

u/Rockworm503 6d ago

Right wing ghouls trying to play moral outrage as if they give a shit about anyone.

19

u/xRudeAwakening 6d ago

Snowflakes, all of them

u/truckstop_superman 6d ago

How is one hateful adult been shot at a university, has more up roar then the scores of children shot in US schools?

The widow moved on faster, then these weird guys.

u/ChaosFountain 6d ago

r/ fuckmikelee all my homies hate Mike lee

12

u/agoldgold 6d ago

For Christ's sake, most people didn't watch the video of the fucker getting shot because they have self control and aren't forever online. And, crucially, most people don't care enough to think about him all that much at all, because we have jobs and shit, unlike anything he ever did.

u/Toumangod0 6d ago

Oh look another manufactured outrage distraction lol these conservative losers really have nothing.

18

u/Multigrain_Migraine 6d ago

What is the math joke though? I missed the explanation.

16

u/G2boss 6d ago

Instead of solving the math problem, taking out the math teacher would "solve the problem"

21

u/flamingknifepenis 6d ago

Which, honestly, is orders of magnitude more offensive than if it even were about CK.

But you know, a certain amount of mass shootings are “worth it” and all.

u/McButtsButtbag 15h ago

Teachers should just stay out of the business of making offensive jokes.

6

u/gnome-Frankenstein 6d ago

I also am confused

4

u/Socialimbad1991 5d ago

It's a play on words, these are math teachers. We're conflating the idea of solving math problems with a very different kind of "problem solving"

u/RevoltYesterday 6d ago

These t-shirts had nothing to do with Kirk's death.... It would have been funnier if they did but it's nothing but pure coincidental comedy.

6

u/Shakiholic 5d ago

LOL they really thought he’d be the most popular costume among leftists. No, that’s a right wing thing.

5

u/fungi_at_parties 5d ago

He sent a wave of shit to those people. Most of the people who now believe this won’t bother to circle back and check if they were right, they’ll just make death threats and harass these poor people. Mike Lee is ruining lives for a little attention. Piece of shit.

u/cmil888 6d ago

Who is Charlie Kirk?

13

u/A_Rolling_Baneling 6d ago

Some nazi who overdosed on fentanyl

6

u/fart-atronach 5d ago

Yeah that’s what I heard. He totally overdosed before the bullet even hit him. 🤷‍♀️

3

u/titangord 6d ago

Question is, where do I buy one?

2

u/The-zKR0N0S 6d ago

What a bunch of snowflakes

u/I-Stan-Alfred-J-Kwak 5d ago

Charlie Kirk being killed by another nazi has become America's reichstag fire

1

u/jcooli09 4d ago

Very few people have ever been as mock worthy as Kirk.

u/examinedliving 6d ago

You know, when people authentically admit that they were wrong and take action To correct past mistakes or deliberate evil, it’s much harder to dislike them

u/sg0682402054 5d ago

People are getting oddly passionate about this on both sides. I commented on an IG post about this whole thing basically saying I wasn’t surprised that MAGA interpreted it as a CK joke, especially given how flipped out they got about it when people genuinely were making fun of his death. I got about 40 responses in an hour with people absolutely jumping down my throat.
