😑 Dans un profond sommeil, ma mère est partie rejoindre mon père, hier le 2 décembre à 21h à l'âge de 92 ans. Me voilà orpheline (mon père en 2022 à l'âge de 88 ans), une partie de moi se greffe en souvenirs d'évènements heureux. 💙

There is an excellent #Obituary for #CharlieKirk going viral on social media. As someone who enjoys #Genealogy, I've read more than a few obituaries, so I added a bit of my own text to it:

"Charles James Kirk, 31, died on Wednesday from a gunshot to the neck at a Utah Valley University campus event, just as he was trying to deflect a question about mass shootings by suggesting they were largely a function of gang violence.

He died with a net worth of $12 million, which he made by espousing horrific and bigoted views in the name of advancing Christian Nationalism. The foundation of his empire was the group he co-founded and led, Turning Point USA, which is a key youth-recruitment arm of the MAGA movement. Kirk was able to launch Turning Point at the age of 18 because he received money from Tea Party member Bill Montgomery, right-wing donor Foster Feiss, and his own father Robert, also a prolific right-wing donor who was involved in the construction of Trump Tower.

After being rejected by West Point, Kirk attended only one semester at Chicago-area Harper College before dropping out when the classwork got too difficult for him. In May 2021, he married Wella-blonde Erika Frantzve, a fellow podcaster. Since his death, she has done her best to monetize and mourn his passing by making as many appearances as possible on TV news and on other podcasts.

He was an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist who often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there was no other way to pretend that it was morally correct.

He had children, as do many vile people."
