It's absolutely a way of handwavling the evil he did. It makes light of the abscess he was on society.
I'm not talking about your average voter, many of whom are victims of disinformation. I'm talking about a man who knowingly orchestrated a massive death toll through fraud and deceit, in exchange for money and the chance to abuse power.
Some people should not have theit free positive traits mentioned, as they were inconsequential compared to their atrocities.
I'll also point out maga don't like Cheney, they think he's a rino. Democrats don't like Cheney because of the war crimes and corruption. No one actually likes Cheney, there's nothing to be gained by finding someone move to say about him. Just say nothing.
I disagree about the hand waving part.
I’m not saying he’s a good man by any stretch of the word, I’m that there’s not an issue with one person showing dignity to another in death.
I agree to an extent, that extent being the actual death of the person and speaking about aspects of their life where there was commonality at the time of their death.
It’s not about gaining something. It’s about showing humanity to the people that knew him in his personal life. Showing you care about people dying isn’t a bad thing.
