    He’s an objectively bad person. My grandma isn’t, and I try not to be. If we are, you can make fun of us when we get that old too. (and I ain’t no spring chicken)

    I don’t just disagree with the man’s politics, I recognize that he has played exceptionally dirty, and is responsible for policies and appointments that have hurt people, many of whom are far too young to even know who he is or what his politics are, many of them his own constituents. His hand in raising up Trump and fanning the flames of the damage Trump did is just one of the most recent and visible details. Dehumanizing entire segments of the US population is literally the only thing his entire party does with their political power. That’s it.

    He has legitimately damaged the fabric of this nation, and I have no tears to shed for his deteriorating health. He and those like him need to exit the corridors of power - I’m not in the slightest picky about the mechanism of that exit.
