众议院也通过了，不出所料，96个民主党众议员反对。
以后每年10/14日， 我提议这些议员义务劳动一天服务大众，比如为群众理发，扶老大娘过马路，打扫公厕啊，怎么样？

这是要把 Charlie Kirk 抬到 martin luther king 的地位和高度吗？

不至于吧，Kirk 还是不到那个众望所归 那个服众的程度的

我不得不请出Chatgpt讲讲历史，马丁路德金在遇刺之前，也是饱受争议，遇刺之后，对他的评价也是两极分化. 焉知若干年后，查理柯克不会像马丁路德金一样封圣？

Chat GPT — Martin Luther King Jr. is remembered today as one of the most admired Americans, but in his lifetime, and especially right before his assassination in 1968, his support among the general U.S. public was quite low.

Here are the key numbers:

Gallup polling (1966, the last major poll before his death):

32% favorable toward King

63% unfavorable

That means almost two out of three Americans disapproved of him.

Why was his support rate so low?

Civil Rights “going too far” – Many white Americans believed that by the mid-1960s, enough progress had been made on civil rights (Civil Rights Act 1964, Voting Rights Act 1965), and they thought King was pushing too aggressively on issues of housing, economic inequality, and systemic racism.

Vietnam War opposition – In 1967, King came out strongly against the Vietnam War (“Beyond Vietnam” speech). That alienated not only the Johnson administration but also a large segment of Americans who supported the war.

Urban riots and unrest – Although King preached nonviolence, many Americans associated him with the broader racial upheavals of the 1960s. Some unfairly blamed him for “stirring up” tensions.

Northern backlash – When King moved his activism to northern cities like Chicago (1966 housing campaign), he faced hostility from white residents who opposed integration in neighborhoods and schools.

So, in the late 1960s, Martin Luther King was far more unpopular than popular among Americans.
It was only after his assassination in April 1968 that public opinion began to shift, and over the decades his legacy was reframed into the broadly admired, almost universally respected figure we know today.

Would you like me to also pull polling right after his death so you can see how quickly his approval changed?
