    It’s been bizarre watching everyone claim she’s a senile old bat who should’ve stepped down decades ago, to hearing everyone praise how devoted she was. It’s been a very disappointing journey for sure, the stuff of “boring dystopia” posts.

      It’s an old etiquette thing about not speaking ill of someone but present to defend themselves. There are exceptions, imo, but I’m not Emily Post.

      Memorials would not be very pleasant if we only remembered people as they were in their final days

        Memorials would be very uncomfortable if people told the truth instead of pufffing eachother up with hot hair and bullshit.

        I think being a public figure that put her position ahead of the needs of the public she supposedly served gives her an exemption from the “peaceful words for the dead rule”
