That’s where I’m trying to land with it: I did not like that man and hated the viewpoints he advocated, but with his death there’s a wife missing her husband, children their father, parents their son, and I can feel bad for them around this situation.

I’m reaching for empathy- if there’s a hope of getting through this current mess with our souls intact it’ll be by reaching for empathy, even when it’s hard.

Yeah, I’ll admit to a small amount of schadenfreude at the news, but that video.

Jesus.

He was still a massive piece of shit, but that’s a rough way to go.
