    Right? If Hitler rises from the grave and we curb stomp him back into it am I not supposed to celebrate?

    Bad people exist. It’s good when they stop existing. We should be able to acknowledge that. This isn’t Reddit and I never want it to be.

    EDIT: Put some more thought into it. I think it’s important to celebrate the death of objectively bad people because it helps normalize obliterating whatever virtuous image they constructed for themselves while they were alive. Unfortunately, the USA has normalized corruption, that’s not really debatable at this point. We need to normalize publicly shaming corrupt individuals to try to dissuade future bad actors from rising through the ranks and letting the world know exactly how low these corrupt assholes were. And as far as determining whether Graham was a piece of shit or not…well, I’d say if you constantly take advantage of things you actively vote against and flip flop on your statements from one day to the next, you’re a pretty big piece of shit.
