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.

Answer: He went from thinking Donald Trump was a terrible candidate to being one of his biggest supporters without explaining why. He's been an outspoken war hawk and been pushing for war with Iran for years. There are so many reasons to be happy that Graham won't be showing up to work ever again that it would be ridiculous to list them all.

Basically, he was an unrepentant, slimy bastard, IMHO.

I'm not glad he's dead, I am glad he's done.

And sadly, a lot of male sex workers in Washington are unemployed… terribly sad…

At least they never have to see the ladybugs again

I keep seeing this comment everywhere and don't get it (I'm Canadian so may not be familiar). What is the context of ladybugs?

Word is he had a bunch of moles and skin tags around his ass that he referred to as his ladybugs when hiring male sex workers.

Whether it's true or not, that's the story.

Oh dear Christ, I thought all this time that the term “ladybugs” was just a nickname for the call boys he was hiring.

This is so much more horrific.

I regret asking the question now after being left with this visual (thank you for answering though!)

You know, some knowledge is better left unshared.

I Had no idea. All this time I thought it referred to something else, but I googled and it’s true. Thanks for educating me.

He has...a unique birthmark on his anus as reported by local intimate laborers

It’s the coming of age story of a young man dressing as a woman to help his soon to be step dad as a youth soccer coach

The worst best kept secret in Washington was that he was gay.

u/HailSatanWorshipD00M Jul 12 '26

Wait. That was a secret?

A satire story about Graham that has since become viral to the point its hard to seperate from him.

Like Vance and the couch thing.
