refuse to whitewash a legacy of division+cruelty+violence
You’re not obligated to manufacture compassion for someone who showed none in his lifetime. It’s not celebrating, it’s refusing to whitewash a legacy of division & cruelty. You don’t have to mourn an architect of violence. We can grieve the world he helped create without grieving him.
What we should mourn are the lives damaged and endangered by the movement he built. I will not make a rest in peace post about someone who wouldn’t allow others to exist in peace.

Well said, and I would add that this whole horrible situation gets into an omnipresent conservative anxiety: that you should be allowed to live a life of utter cruelty and unkindness and mercilessness and still be afforded sympathy, respect and fealty by everyone around you
