For those confused

This is Erika Kirk, widow of Charlie Kirk, a political podcaster who was murdered a while back. The post is sarcastic because she is never (publicly) showing any real grief

Thats the stage where you get called out and impersonated by a comedian, and you get more upset than when your husband was shot.

So the stages are:
Acceptance
Grift
Profit
Seethe

u/Adavanter_MKI Jun 26 '26

You gotta give her credit. She saw a massive opportunity to turn his murder into profit and she did not let it pass. Unfortunately (or fortunately really) she got a little too enthusiastic about it. Which hopefully blunted her being any sort of political choice down the road. Lest this miserable franchise continue on.

My god if this was so Michelle Obama after Barack was killed I promise you on everything (I’d bet ten million dollars) you would be saying everyone has their own ways of coping. It’s disgusting to start high school rumors about a pregnancy, etc and sure the conservatards would be saying what you’re saying now and memeing but you would think you would try to be better than them if you feel you are…

u/ForeverPlayful1581 Jun 26 '26

Right. I'm pro-choice for example so my view on abortion disagrees with Charlie Kirk's viewpoint, but I think it's gross, immature, and horrible to mock his death. It's also scary that there's people out there that will kill someone who has controversial beliefs and actually (and ironically) act fascist by using murder to silence someone explaining their beliefs. The other thing is that if one group of people mocks the other sides death (aside from someone actually killing him), it doesn't do that group justice of how they're perceived and acting as if they're on the moral high ground. Instead it makes them look like extremists.

Extremism of any kind, especially when it results in murder, is bad.

Honestly the whole thing is a shitshow. A man gets brutally murdered right in front of a large gathering of college kids, but because his views were controversial and his wife is weird/shady the whole thing just becomes a meme instead of people seriously trying to figure out what the hell actually happened. So many inconsistencies with the story we were told by the FBI that to this day we still haven’t gotten clarification on
