I didn't agree with all of his politics. But he radiated humor and positivity, and is a true American success story. R.I.P.

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. imgflip.com/m/political_jokes

In before any mocking comments about his carelessness about not masking up, etc.

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.
