It absolutely astonishes me that there are people on the online "right" who are lamenting the death of Lindsay Graham, and their excuses for such a thing are frankly bullshit. Even such phrases as "it's not good to gloat or speak ill of the dead" or "I am an American and he was an American politician", lindsay graham hated you, hated your supposed values you claim to hold, and his actions were directly correlated in no small part to the deaths of millions of innocent people around the globe during his secured tenure, in a system which, if it were sane or just, would have never let someone like him in the halls of power, not even to comment on his personally shameful "business". lindsay was everything wrong with modern politics, and to pretend otherwise is short-sighted at best, and shameless shill behaviour at worst. One should not waste their principles, kindness and respect for the dead on such a creature, and besides, he wished for the deaths of millions more, but I get it, these types may also harbour a craven hatred of Russians, Iranians, Palestinians, etc. so I can't argue with that, I guess the neocons are on your side then. But if they could bracket this performative cruelty and ironypoisoned faction-war driven logic for five seconds of sober and objective though, I would say to them that keep in mind graham HATED YOU TOO, the way that pretty much all elites in the West are hostile to their own populations, He wanted YOU 🫵the right wing chud to fight and die against an endless array of enemies, and during GWOT chewed you up and spit you out without a single pang of regret. and some people say very silly things like "well, at least lindsay graham wanted the empire to be strong", again, at the expense of YOU 🫵. So finally, lindsay graham was a vile warmongering coward piece of shit, and the world is objectively a better place without him.
