    The point is that some people have decorum and are good speakers. Some people, even if they don’t mean it, are respectful of the dead, even if they don’t deserve it.

    “It doesn’t matter if he was evil, he spoke well and respect bad people dying”

    Why do centrists always police language over action?

        It’s like the pro-life of conservatives, a good soundbite but actually “decorum” means respecting absolutely nothing, like pro-life means intense hatred towards living people.

        “All lives matter” is another school of thought equivalent to insisting on decorum.

      You just assumed I’m a centrist because I expect politicians to be respectful of each other? Holy shit dude there is something wrong with your moral compass. Respecting people and disagreeing with them are not mutually exclusive.

        I assumed you’re a centrist because you went on to praise “decorum” instead of the negatives he did, but I suppose to be fair you could also be a right winger.
