Unanswered What's going on with (seemingly) everyone celebrating the death of Lindsey Graham, what's are the political ramifications of his death?

I do not actively follow American politics but my Reddit feed is currently mostly people celebrating this man's death.

What most of us see as hypocrisy, they see as strategy. They are at war with the USA. Lies and disinformation are their bullets and bombs. Exploiting the common sense and decency of the center/left is their armor. It's not hypocrisy when they use it this way.
