The bots were programmed for conservative politician deaths to bring up being married and having kids to paint them in a good light since they have no other redeeming qualities.

"They fulfilled their basic biological purpose... Please clap"

There are few things in this world that make sense, but this is one of them

Stop being so hetero-normative...

Plenty of young teenage boys called Lindsey Graham "Mommy" over the decades

Since i heard about that i can't stop shuddering every time i hear "Ladybug"

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 12 points 3 days ago

Stop being so capitalist. They were underpaid for their time and under NDA.

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago

He tried so hard to BE a father. What a shame he didn't know about women.

He also defended pedophiles and stripped away women's heath rights.

[–] canniest_tod@lemmy.world 31 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Father and husband aren't synonymous with "guy who should be alive". He argued for, signed off on, and lobbied for every war and potential war the US considered in his career. Should have died sooner.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

I just really hope he was in pain the whole time

[–] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 53 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Not married... Not a father... Not a priest?

I could have sworn MAGA had a word for people who fit that category...

What's to like? The dude had zero consistent opinions and just kinda said whatever he thought would get him the most political capital in a given interview. How could anyone like him when none actually knew him?

[–] TheCriticalMember@aussie.zone 18 points 3 days ago (1 children)

He was incredibly consistently pro-war.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

He was also pro-war-crime. He was ultra-proud of the US bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and for that matter, Tokyo.

It was his justification for letting Israel kill whoever they wanted for any reason.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

So he's Holden bloodfeast.

[–] EtAl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Literally, the one, singular good thing about him was he supported Ukraine.

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Hey, he also died way younger than McConnell and trump. So two things.

[–] EtAl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 days ago

Agreed. Two things.

[–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 9 points 3 days ago

And that was just a side effect of being pro war. Selling weapons to Ukraine.

he also never had GF or a wife. thats where the gay vibes is coming from. plus he had alledgely been sleeping with young male escorts.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

and here i was thinking the gay vibes were coming from how incredibly flamboyant he was.

Hey that's not fair. I'm incredibly flamboyant and my incredibly gay vibes come from my bisexuality, not my flamboyancy

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They just immediately assume since he's white and old that he was a dad and a husband.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

When we all know that he couldn't get pregnant, no matter how many dicks he took up his ladybug arsehole

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 28 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They liked him enough to post this, but knew nothing about him as a person? Or is this just the default response for dead GOPers with no discernible morals?

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 44 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This is probably a Russian bot trying to cause some more division in the US. They saw that Graham's death was polarizing and they pounced.

That's not fair. He paid a lot of young men to call him daddy

There’s a very sad older male roommate crying over the casket, they must have been close!

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

All the way back to college. They were roommates kept themselves.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Butt baby technology didn't advance far enough, fast enough, for him to have a child.

[–] OberonSwanson@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 days ago

He definitely had a lot of young men calling him, Mom, so his dreams were somewhat fulfilled at least.

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

He was just plain old fuck

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

You know before i know hitler was married i used to dislike him but i cant hate someones husband.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Lowkey, it cracks me up how gay jokes are suddenly back on the public menu

Not the gay joke part, just the suddenly fashionable ironic resurgence in the "haha, he's GAYYYYYYY!" punchline I remember from the late 2000s

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

They’d probably say the same thing about Hitler, happily.

[–] iocase@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 days ago

What . Is . With . Her . Fucking . Punctuation .

[–] Fluffy_Ruffs@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Let's be honest, Maryann, it matters if her was Republican.

[–] zikzak025@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Well yeah, if he was a Democrat he'd have a nonexistent liberal spouse and nonexistent liberal children, and that wouldn't be worthy of respect.

[–] My_IFAKs___gone@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Doesn't mean he wasn't called daddy from time to time.

[–] decolo@piefed.social 7 points 3 days ago

I am skeptical

since I have only heard of him bottoming
