        The guy is being elevated to sainthood by the right, he was likely the leading contender for upcoming republican presidential elections. It’s very worth making and distributing memes making fun of his “legacy.” If you ignore people you don’t like, they tend to end up with a lot of power and taking away your rights.

        My only complaint is it’s being posted on Lemmy, which is preaching to the choir. It should be “platformed” on much larger social media sites.

          He’s being elevated to sainthood to “own the libs”. The more people make fun of him, the higher he will rise in their eyes. If no one cared about him at all, he wouldn’t have had more than a week in the news cycle.

          If you want to really mess with his “legacy”, use his death to promote gun control. Not as a joke, but seriously. That would be infinitely more effective than any meme.
