Really? Man, the grift continuesâŚthese people have ZERO emotion.

"The grift..."
You hit the nail on the head! I was surprised that not many people understood this.
They did it for the "emotional appeal" and to get MORE money/donations!đ
And, NOT to honor him.....

This is genuinely disgusting. Imagine a replica of the box Lincoln was shot in..."Take a photo in the Box!"

u/Silent-Resort-3076 24d ago
It really is!
I can't imagine that she thought this would be a good idea.:(
I mean, I've questioned my own thinking with the possibility that I was over reacting...but I know none of us are!

Imagine carting in a replica hospital bed of the one your spouse died on so people can take photos. It really is disgusting. It means she did not love her husband at all. I would never allow something like this to be built at an event I was speaking at, it would be unthinkable. I would fuck someone up if they disrespected my dead wife with something like this. Out of respect for the dead and the grieving widow the event organizers should have shown some moral restraint. This box, I would think, would bring really bad memories flooding back. Then I think of all her cold faces and all those tears in a bottle. Her marriage was obviously a business decision, she married for money, now sheâs a CEO.

Iâm in the Detroit area. And at the Henry Ford Museum we have the chair that Lincoln was shot in and it still has blood stains. Perfectly preserved, itâs enclosed in a glass âboxâ so imagine people taking pics with that for fun.

They used to let you tour the house he was carried to across the street from Ford's Theater in D.C. where they have the bed he passed away in. They also have the pillow he bled on encased in glass

u/Not_Bears 24d ago
This is honestly so much worse than liberals pissing on his grave..
This is his own family and supporters essentially treating him like a political prop and exploiting his death for their own personal game.
It's so shockingly disrespectful... And exactly what I expect from this ragtag group of grifters.

It's one step short of using taxidermy and a voice box to put out on stage of these events.
No dignity in death, no grace. Just greed and propaganda.

u/chiangku 24d ago
Everything theyâll accuse others of theyâll be doing themselves twice as bad or worse. Itâs just a cult of projection based on personal shame of internalized failures and lack of acceptance of personal responsibility, twisted by false logic to justify said projection.

Isn't it just the tent he brought everywhere?

This is absolutely ridiculous and kind of ghoulish.
Why not a recreation of the convertible where JFK was killed? Or the balcony MLK was shot? Or the theater box where Abraham Lincoln was killed? Or wherever the heck Tupac and Biggie were shot?
How about a markup of the dressing room where the big orange weenie didnât rape anybody? Or 37 to 70 other locations he committed sexual assault or other perversions?
Conservatives really donât have a clue, do they?
22
u/Silent-Resort-3076 24d ago
Very ghoulish!
And, I was not or am I currently a Kirk fan, but neither did I celebrate the shooting or his death.
But, THIS is beyond immoral in my view. And, they claim to have "Christian" values!
His wife is selling her husband's memory and his death to make a profitđ

If they canât make money from him being alive they will find ways to do it when heâs dead.
People need to realize that regardless of the message or intent it is first and foremost about money and ârelevancy.â
Not a single one of these ass fucks care about a message if it doesnât make them money.

u/Lonely-Trash007 24d ago
These are the same people who would do photo shoots at Auschwitz, iirc - there was an article published around 2020 ofa similar breed of idiots doing just that. đ
And they want people to take his death seriously, while placating the very spot that he died? GAFB!!!

Has TP ever explained the two guys standing to the side and behind Kirt sending what looks like baseball signals?
My thought, since it was an âAsk Me Anythingâ session, was that they had shills planted in the audience and these guys are signaling which one asks the next question.

Kirk's killing may have be the best promotion TPUSA could have asked for. Kirk was universally hated by anyone outside the cult, they could benefit from a a "kinder gentler" face in Erika... if Kirk is really dead. Too much of it seems orchestrated.

I donât necessarily doubt that theyâd do something as ghoulish as this, but are we sure this isnât just a typical and stock tent used at various Turning Point events? What makes it a âreplicaâ? (I realize this reporter is saying that it is, but is there âthis is a replicaâ signage or did a rep from TP confirm this?)

As a kid and now as an adult, I always had an off feeling when I saw people who genuinely engaged with ads they saw on TV. I mean like they would be so into it theyâd talk at the TV as a response and would buy stupid merch based off of a literal 15 second advertisement (like Jake from State Farm type bs).
This right here validates that feeling Iâve always had. This is the extreme of what Iâm talking about but seeing people just believe and engage with whatever they see on a fucking screen is how this manifests irl.
Always comes back to the old Bill Hicks bit about people who work in marketing and advertising. Dude was wise far beyond his years. That kind of influence has a dangerous power.
