Safe to say, I disagree with Herman Cain's politics. But I hope we can all in this moment regardless of party take a breath and recognize the humor and positivity he brought.
Skipping over his business career to his political legacy: Cain came out of the Tea Party Movement, and as a Washington outsider with a business background he was similar in some ways to Trump. He had a good TV presence and a tendency toward oversimplification. Similar to Candace Owens he parroted the "Democrats are the real racists" line (and we should afford a bit more weight to his lived experience, as he is a person of color). He also swallowed the reckless anti-masker stuff, perhaps fatally. Some things we could expect, as he was a staunch supporter of Trump's after all.
But had Cain become President, I think it's safe to say he would have at least governed with more genuineness and compassion than the current Oval Office occupant.
I submitted a few more memes about Cain here.
