I mean I just think this is a naive way to look at it. That speech wasn’t removed from Kirk. It was clearly about him. It was clearly about lionizing him. It was clearly about making a martyr of him. It was clearly about celebrating him. Remove him and that speech isn’t given. You can’t take out the motive and context of the speech and pretend it’s something entirely different.
Yeah man are you not understanding that I’m talking about him in the context being dead? That’s the whole point. It’s hard to martyr someone who’s alive, though God knows conservatives try that enough.
