What's to like? The dude had zero consistent opinions and just kinda said whatever he thought would get him the most political capital in a given interview. How could anyone like him when none actually knew him?

[–] TheCriticalMember@aussie.zone 1 points 10 minutes ago

He was incredibly consistently pro-war.

Stop being so hetero-normative...

Plenty of young teenage boys called Lindsey Graham "Mommy" over the decades

Stop being so capitalist. They were underpaid for their time and under NDA.

Cool story, still not a husband or dad.

He tried so hard to BE a father. What a shame he didn't know about women.

Not married... Not a father... Not a priest?

I could have sworn MAGA had a word for people who fit that category...

"Confirmed bachelor".

They liked him enough to post this, but knew nothing about him as a person? Or is this just the default response for dead GOPers with no discernible morals?

This is probably a Russian bot trying to cause some more division in the US. They saw that Graham's death was polarizing and they pounced.

Butt baby technology didn't advance far enough, fast enough, for him to have a child.

[–] OberonSwanson@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 hour ago

He definitely had a lot of young men calling him, Mom, so his dreams were somewhat fulfilled at least.

They’d probably say the same thing about Hitler, happily.

Doesn't mean he wasn't called daddy from time to time.

[–] decolo@piefed.social 4 points 2 hours ago

I am skeptical

since I have only heard of him bottoming

Let's be honest, Maryann, it matters if her was Republican.

[–] zikzak025@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Well yeah, if he was a Democrat he'd have a nonexistent liberal spouse and nonexistent liberal children, and that wouldn't be worthy of respect.
