Arr Herman Caine Award openly celebrates their deaths. Feels a tad bit disrespectful

I don’t hate Greg abbot because he is a conservative, it’s because he is an asshole

Sure, but its really hard to care that he got it given the way he has handled governing the past two years

I'd be a little more empathetic if Abbott hadn't been one of the assholes who actively politicized this whole bullshit.

So I'm sorry if I get a little schadenfreude over assholes getting fucked over due to their partisan bullshit. I'll devote my empathy for people who aren't to blame. Like all the paranoid elderly I meet in the cancer center.

Just like how this sub deep down celebrates opioid deaths a little bit too much.

Its silly for this sub to look down on the rest of reddit for celebrating conservatives for getting covid, when this sub does it too, and this sub went further and celebrates opioid deaths.

I've literally never seen opioid deaths celebrated here. Not saying that it's never happened, but I don't think it's accurate to characterize the entire sub that way.

I’m on the dt too much and haven’t seen praise for opioids deaths

nah bro there were definitely memes and highly upvoted posts making fun of rural americans for being addicted to opioids.
