I feel weird about this. Like it's his second death or something.
He used to be someone who was just giving welcome comic relief to office workers, and came off as reflected and humble.
Then he got a stroke and ...opinions. How related they were I don't know, and how latent his cruel opinions were I honestly don't know.
Whether he always was utterly evil but it just didn't surface, or he just broke someway, it felt like a person died back then. I still miss who I thought he was.
And now he is dead again.
I feel the same way, but had no idea he'd had a stroke around the time of the big change. If true that makes it a bit easier to separate the man from his art for me.
Didn't something similar happen with the US politician John Fetterman? I recall he was a darling of the Democratic party, then post-stroke turned radically 'right'.
brain damage is needed to be a Republican, look at orange shit for brains, he doesn't have a brain and he's their leader
Where does it all come from?
IDK all the great scientists are either working on boner pills, hair regrowth or weapons, so no one knows
Yep, that's fetterman.
He was always a racist.
There are so many family caretakers that have a similar unfortunate dichotomy in their minds. Like everyone else is mourning at the funeral, but they saw that person “die” a decade ago, leaving behind a husk of hate, forgetfulness, or missing energy.
