    Does that care extend to the people who were victimized and made to feel unsafe by him? Because when this happened a lot of liberals came out to condemn people for “celebrating” (which we didn’t do) rather than ask why so many marginalized people didn’t feel like grieving. We’re not gonna give respect to someone who spent his entire political career dehumanizing us.

      Of course care the care is entirely for he people he harmed or convinced his views were even reasonably sane. Who said we should grieve his death or show respect? Taking joy in the death of another person is a different animal altogether. Also, this feels an awful lot like celebrating his death.

        I don’t feel joy or whatever, but I don’t think it’s a big deal if people do. Hell, I’d have celebrated Hitler dying, so to me it’s a matter of where you draw the line. Drawing the line where a nazi deserves respect is silly imo.

        All that said, again, the vast majority of people didn’t celebrate, we just refused to say we feel sad, because we don’t.

          I’m not suggesting you should feel sad. I know that lemme is an echo chamber of far left beliefs and I’m as liberal as a person can be, but I feel like we’ve lost the plot in some ways. I want peaceful protests. Call me hippie or pacifist, but I abhor violence no matter where it comes from.
