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 1 month ago

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

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

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

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

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

He was someone's daddy, actually probably a lot of male prostitutes daddy.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nah, he was absolutely a catcher, not a pitcher

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

Muh ladybugs.

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 39 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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 1 month ago (1 children)

He was incredibly consistently pro-war.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 month 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 1 month ago

So he's Holden bloodfeast.

[–] EtAl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

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

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

[–] EtAl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 month ago

Agreed. Two things.

[–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 9 points 1 month ago

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

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 1 month ago (1 children)

I just really hope he was in pain the whole time

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 1 month 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.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month 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 1 month ago

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

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

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

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month 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 1 month ago

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

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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 1 month ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

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

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

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

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

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

He was just plain old fuck

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month 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

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

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

[–] zikzak025@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month 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.

[–] iocase@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

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

[–] tipicaldik@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago
[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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

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

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

[–] decolo@piefed.social 7 points 1 month ago

I am skeptical

since I have only heard of him bottoming
