Patron Saint of Hate?
With sinister right-wing influencer of young people Charlie Kirk now officially a MAGA martyr, whose assassination is now being opportunistically used by every extreme right-wing lunatic in the US to fuel yet more hate directed at anyone they don't like, can we now expect him to start manifesting from beyond the grave? How long can it be before his devout followers start seeing visions of him? Perhaps his spirit will start turning up to address meetings of his acolytes - if not in person then perhaps via a Ouija board. Indeed, maybe he could continue his podcast this way - each week in the studio he transmits his latest hateful bile through the medium of a Ouija board or automatic writing via a medium. If nothing else, it would free up J D Vance to get on with his actual job of spewing out barely coherent hate in his capacity of Vice President rather than spewing out incoherent hate as a stand in presenter on a right-wing podcast. It can only be a matter of time before he starts encouraging the most rabid of his followers to go out and smite down his foes. Remember how crazies always used to claim 'God told me to' in response to questioning as to why they'd just massacred a bunch of innocent people? Well, brace yourself for 'Charlie told me to do it' the next time some crazy goes nutzoid with an AK-47 and mows down a crowd of people he thought were illegal immigrants (on account of them not being white). Doubtless he'll tell the court that before he took up arms the spirit of Charlie Kirk whispered in his ear that he needed to save white America from a bunch of would-be foreign terrorists, rapists and psychos - Charlie was even by his side when he pulled the trigger, pointing out who he had to shoot.
Obviously, all of this would only be signposts on the road to Kirk becoming the first MAGA saint. The patron saint of hateful racists, misogynists and transphobes. To be canonised, of course, the candidate has to have been shown to perform three miraculous things, you know, like someone recovering from a terminal illness after seeing a vision of them, or growing an amputated limb back after praying at a shrine set up for them. That sort of thing. In Kirk's case, I suppose that the sort of 'MAGA miracles' his acolytes might accept would be along the lines of a man successfully beating his wife into submission and renouncing feminism after Kirk visited him in a dream and told him to 'thrash the liberal devil out of her'. Or perhaps parents who succeeded in 'converting' their gay child to heterosexuality through electroshock treatment after a plaster statue of Kirk (face it, it will only be a matter of time before they start selling them), they had on top of their old-style tube TV came to life and lectured them on the evils of homosexuality. AS for the third miracle, Hell, it could be anything from 'curing' a kid of autism to causing a dozen 'black militants' to 'lynch themselves' from lampposts in Alabama. Now, such occurrences most certainly wouldn't be accepted by the Pope (particularly the present one) as miracles but that sort of thing surely wouldn't bother the MAG faithful, who answer to a higher power - The Almighty Donald J Trump. Because, face it, MAGA is pretty much a religion already and tilting ever more that way in the wake of the Kirk killing as every religious crackpot cranking up the violent rhetoric against the 'enemies' of the righteous. It would only be fitting for Charlie Kirk, hate monger to America's youth, to be anointed as its first saint.
