In the pit since I do make an exception of being glad when someone dies when the one dying caused others do die by misinformation and/or continued to mislead others even after the deadly January 6 insurrection.
Stated by Rush on February 24, 2020 in an episode of his radio show:
I have no reservation about expressing my schadenfreude in his shuffle off this mortal coil, and look forward to news that fellow conservative conspiranoists Glenn Beck and Alex Jones have joined him. These people were/are enablers of bigotry and authoritarianism, and everyone, including their hypothetical loved ones, are better off without them.
Is this a good day to again state that I hate the reminders that it is somehow better to not celebrate someone’s death? The world is a demonstrably better place without Rush in it. I reject that celebrating that is somehow inappropriate or that rejecting such celebration makes one high minded.
