As the poet John Donne mentioned almost 400 years in the past, “never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.” He is saying we’re all linked, and the death of one diminishes the lives of all.
Sadly, politics have separated us from that basic fact. The near-joy expressed by many at Lindsey Graham’s death is actually disturbing. It’s not simply disrespectful.
There’s a cause why it’s unsuitable to talk unwell of the lifeless. It’s cowardly. The deceased can’t even defend themselves.

He will stay one of the uncommon few who notably left their mark on Washington. America and solely America was his agenda.

Graham, like Trump, was at all times on the lookout for one other conflict to start out and one other nation to bomb to smithereens. Now that Graham has died, Trump says we should always fly our flags at half-mast.
We reside in a twisted second in American historical past. Hopefully, it will start to change come the midterms.

A brilliant gentle has gone out, however his work stays. Sen. Lindsey Graham was more than a politician and lawyer — he was a champion for the weak and a defender of our shared beliefs. He believed that the power of our nation is present in its equity and kindness towards everybody.
He left us too quickly, however he proved that one particular person standing up for what is true can change the world for the higher. Rest in peace, senator.
