I didn’t realize he had died and saw a few posts about how weird and self-serving he was, on top of the racism. 3 years ago a bunch of papers dropped Dilbert over him going on a racist rant.
So it’s not just about political leanings, it’s the ego, racism, and being a shitbag and troll online. Typical thin-skinned Conservative on the internet, ultimately.

His descent should be a warning to any of us with parents or grandparents his age.
