    It’s been bizarre watching everyone claim she’s a senile old bat who should’ve stepped down decades ago, to hearing everyone praise how devoted she was. It’s been a very disappointing journey for sure, the stuff of “boring dystopia” posts.

      Memorials would not be very pleasant if we only remembered people as they were in their final days

        I think being a public figure that put her position ahead of the needs of the public she supposedly served gives her an exemption from the “peaceful words for the dead rule”

        Memorials would be very uncomfortable if people told the truth instead of pufffing eachother up with hot hair and bullshit.

      It’s an old etiquette thing about not speaking ill of someone but present to defend themselves. There are exceptions, imo, but I’m not Emily Post.

        I spoke ill of her while she was still alive. I promise not to make any new arguments, as that would be unfair.

            Call her selfish, kiniving, a terrible person, whatever. But it doesn’t help anything or fit, as I’ve seen in this thread, to use an insult for female promiscuity and call her a whore. I’ve also seen no evidence whatsoever to merit calling her a traitor.

          I clearly said I’m not in agreement, but do you.
