... Commenters on Ivanka's post quickly pointed out that her hot-tempered father does not follow Parton's view on how people should be treated, citing his history of insulting his political opponents and also female reporters.
The president has a pattern of abusing female journalists doing their job, including asking CNN's Kaitlan Collins why she "never smiles" multiple times and snarling "Quiet, piggy!" at Bloomberg News correspondent Catherine Lucey after she asked him about the Epstein files last year.
"Your father and brothers demonstrate precisely the opposite every hour of every day," one user wrote to the president's daughter. Another added, "Why don't you tell your father who degrades women every day to follow that advice?"
Why don’t you tell your Daddy he needs to treat LGBTQ and people of color as well as she did?? Or undocumented immigrants who do not deserve to be humiliated and beaten or killed!

His legacy is cringe’: how Charlie Kirk became a meme among the young – even his supporters
And a trend known as “Kirkification” has emerged, in which internet pranksters superimpose his face on to unlikely images, such as the Mona Lisa, a woman in a bikini, or Jeffrey Epstein.
...
This contemptuous, at times nihilistic humor marks a dramatic shift from the period immediately following Kirk’s death in September, in which conservatives sought to suppress criticism of the late Maga luminary. Hundreds of people were fired or otherwise disciplined for denouncing him (which has since resulted in several settlements over alleged first amendment violations).
The attempted censorship actually intensified the satirization of Kirk online, said Alex Turvy, a media sociologist and author of an upcoming book about internet culture, Memes in the Machine.
...
Already, Leidig said, Kirk has fallen out of favor with the younger generation of conservatives – a shift that had begun while he was alive. “A lot of young people [are] looking at him and the legacy of his messaging and thinking that it’s really cringe,” she said. “It’s not cool any more.”
...
Likewise, Erika Kirk is in an awkward position. She and her husband promoted traditional gender roles centered on women’s subservience. Now, she is tasked with leading a multimillion-dollar organization. She has also been memed, at times misogynistically, for her quick return to public life after Charlie’s death – another demonstration of Turning Point’s struggle to control the digital narrative.
Charlie and Erika Kirk's legacies have been cemented as mid 2020s internet memes.
