Yes, mocking the dead is en vogue among you guys nowadays isn’t it. First thing you could think up? I’m surprised you didn’t add the guy in Wisconsin who got shot for holding a trump sign. Pathetic liberal Hypocrisy. This guy was a better man than George Floyd and a more decent human being. Your sensibilities are skewed by Woking and Marxism.

Calm down man. Many on the left are mocking this guy’s death, but KylieAlt_89 isn’t. Can you please try to appreciate when people put America above party/ideology? I don’t understand it.

Oh bullshit, A smirk and a smile because he didn’t wear a mask. “We warned them” as if all those who have died are Non mask wearers. I can tell you they aren’t and that many many who wore masks and did everything “right” died too. I would smack that smug look off your face if you did it to my family. But it’s easy to mock the dead and disrespect his relatives when you are in a meme room. Still don’t make you a good person. For all the lofty claims about caring for someone’s life you duckers are morally bankrupt.

Again, calm down. I’m not mocking death or saying that masks are effective. I’m a conservative. I don’t have a smug look on my face at all. Look at my most recent post. I don’t know what you think I stand for, but I’m pretty sure it’s just about the same thing as you do. I just respect KylieAlt_89 for not mocking Herman Cain’s death. Is there a problem with this?

Dude, he is mocking his death in a smug and smirking manner. He was not eulogizing him Read the title above the meme he lol’d a recently deceased man. He made reference to the fact that he went to a Trump rally without a mask. If you think this guy was lauding him you are mistaken. He was not.

I didn’t get those vibes, but I guess you could be right I don’t know. This meme seemed genuine.

I could see how you might take it that way. I am politically left after all and I could see why my eulogy for him would be scrutinized by those on the right.

Really though with this meme I am just trying to celebrate Herman Cain’s sense of humor — I think he would want us to remember to laugh at ourselves and each other even in dark times.

And this is a meme site after all. Not a newspaper of record.

My other R.I.P. meme linked above is more traditional.

I apologize if you were actually being sincere. I was cynical based on prior discourse. I don’t think virus deaths are funny or something to laugh at. People make their decisions and live or die by them. Doesn’t make anyone any better because the virus lottery could visit you and yours too even if you wear a mask.

That’s kind of what I’m trying to remind my liberal counterparts right now.

He possibly got it at the Trump rally. Based on the timeline, he probably got it at the Trump really.

But we don’t really know. And every one of us is at risk until we beat this thing for good.

ey man, just trying to bring some levity to a "politics" stream that is in sore need of it.

I've been looking over his quotes and images for about an hour. Herman Cain himself had a great sense of humor.

I have a more traditional & respectful RIP Herman Cain meme for "politics" that isn't posted yet. imgflip.com/i/49x793

In all seriousness, may Herman Cain rest in peace. May we all treat Covid-19 as the serious disease it is. We're seeing that we stand to lose many icons, leaders and loved ones. Not a call for control through fear but a call for all of us to do what we can to protect and love each other as best we can muster. Nobody should be taking a victory lap during tragedy. We get through this by pulling together and grieving together.

He was at the Trump Tulsa rally on June 20, not wearing a mask, where many other unmasked attendees crowded together and proper social distancing was not observed. That was dumb. He was admitted to a hospital on July 1. The timeline suggests he could have caught it at the rally, but truth is, no one knows.

He could have caught it anywhere. And so could we.

Until we beat this thing for good.

He was diagnosed positive on June 29th.

We'll never know for sure, but I guess it is a pretty good chance he did catch it at that rally.

We warned them. They didn't listen. And now it's too late to do anything about it but mourn.

At least now Trump has cancelled further rallies and even the planned GOP convention in Florida. You know how hard that must have been for him.

the man was a true success story...he didnt drink the kool-aid that the dems push that are said to hold him back...he was an example to ALL that life is what you make it...if he was a democrat he would be hailed as a hero..as well as he should be for the example he set...all hypocrites ...as john lewis is being praised as a great man so should herman cain...both
