Going after McCain in this way 7 months after he died of brain cancer is petty and cruel.


Agreed.

I don't know how a Trump supporter can sum up McCain's policy viewpoints as horrible. He voted in line with Trump 83% of the time. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/john-mccain/


83% is actually a pretty low value for a republican. And the times where he voted against Trump were not some small, procedural bills, they were on high-stakes bills like the ACA repeal.

McCain basically had the same positions as Lindsey Graham... but I don't see Trump cultists trashing him all the time. The only reason the Trump cult hates McCain so much is because Trump does. It's totally transparent.


Graham did receive a substantial amount of flak from the Trump supporters while he was antagonizing the President in 2017. They only started liking Graham when he saved the day during the Kavanaugh hearings and started aligning himself more with the president.

When it comes to McCain, many of the "Trumpy republicans" didnt like him before Trump even emerged on the political scene. His warmongering, his weak stance on immigration, his constant calls for compromise with an increasingly emboldened and progressive left, his lukewarm 2008 campaign*, all of that didnt really endear him to this segment of the republican base.

*to be fair, McCain's weak campaign didnt matter, no one would have been able to defeat Obama in 2008.

That tweet alone will radicalized people creating more hatred, in turn creating more brown people are bad.

The cycle never ends.
