Summary
Lindsey Graham, the senior US senator from South Carolina, died unexpectedly on Saturday, aged 71. This being Anno Domini 2026, the famously hawkish Republican's demise was greeted with open joy by his opponents on the antiwar Left and the hard Right. "Good riddance," posted Ana Kasparian. Nick Fuentes said the exact same thing. Many others shared the same sentiment with slightly more circumspection.
