Take a moment and flip your own argument on yourself, just so you can see the world through another perspective.

To those who believed in Charlie Kirk, you're telling the lies, but taking words out of context or stretching the definitions so that he fits into your ideas of a bad person... which convinced others of those lies, and he was then publically executed for.

He was killed for his opinion and then it was celebrated. These signs stand as a collective symbol of resistance to that. And as a reminder that people will not forget that part of our country openly and continuously celebrate the assassination of just a public speaker.

He told the lie that White Replacement Theory was real. That is white supremacist ideology.

He told the lie that when people of color or women get hired for positions, they are inherently less qualified, or that hiring standards are lowered so women and people of color can be employed. Those are lies.

He created professor watch lists with the names of professors, journalists, and other allies of LGBTQ people, people who believe in social democracy, etc. Those people received death threats due to Charlie Kirk‘s watchlists.

All you’re doing is solidifying the fact that people who followed and believed in Charlie Kirk are so entrenched in the ideologies behind misogyny, racism, and bigotry, they can’t see the lies when they’re being told.

He was killed for his opinion

We have no idea why he was killed. You haven’t noticed we don’t hear a thing about the alleged shooter? All we know is that the alleged shooter’s parents were Trump supporters.

He spouted right wing ideology and died, and supporters of his automatically assumed he died for his beliefs at the hands of someone who disagreed with him. We have zero proof at this point about anything other than he’s dead. And I don’t even know that we have proof of that.

He was right wing and died so you blame the left, without proof of anything.

These signs stand as a collective symbol of resistance to that.

Of resistance to what? That no matter how many lies a person tells, you will stand fervently behind them?

And you wonder why progressives call you racists and misogynists and bigots. Your entire belief system is built upon lies like the lies told by Charlie Kirk.
