Why was everyone all "OMG GOOD RIDDANCE HE WAS A REPUBLICAN" when Reagan died, but people are being nice about the death of stubborn conservative Chief Justice Rehnquist?

Cause people are assholes?

[oesel]

Because Rehnquist was a moderate conservative who didn't trumpet his views or say anything provocative or catchy.

Because Rehnquist didn't attempt to make everyone who disagreed with him look like they drink blood and worship Satan. Because Rehnquist served the country to the best of his faculties and knowledge. Because he didn't leave the country with trillions of dollars in debt. Because he didn't inspire hero-worship.

Beyond that, I have no idea.

yeah, he was an AMAZING guy. I mean obviously when someone dies, at the funeral you can't say anything bad about them, but dude I went to his service. The man could do no wrong!!! I started crying!!! very emotional, regardless of politics, people need to realize that politicians have families who loves them
