Is it ever ethical to celebrate a political leader’s death?

[SolitarySolace]

Hypothetical: President Trump eventually dies of natural causes. Would you celebrate his death or condemn those who do?

Celebrate

Condemn those who celebrate

people who celebrate a death while family is sad are very cruel. it is like those who ignore the baby pain and have a party while the baby is in pain from circumcision. you think i gave out sweets during iran leader funeral?

It is not good to celebrate somebody;s death even if you do not like them. When President Biden died I tried to be respectful and withheld my comments.

The correct thing to say is you didn't always see eye to eye politically but you respected the person and your thinking of their family in these sad times.

The problem is Trump is a jerk who disrespects both the living and dead so is he deserving of the same level of dignified response? Personally I think how you react says more about your character than theirs. Keep the celebrations private and commiserations public

Personally I would neither celebrate nor condemn those who celebrate his passing from natural causes, as it doesn’t encourage violence. If they found him to be a bad person or political leader then that’s their opinion, and under freedom of speech they have a right to express whatever they want. If anything I’d just support that constitutional right.

Let's get the party started! Trump was not a political leader. I'm not in the mood to puke, so I won't list what he really is. Anyone with a functional brain and the ability to think critically already knows he's a vile p. o. s. The celebration of his death will break world records.

Personally, I consider such celebrations as vulgar and would not agree with any of them.

I think Lindsey Graham is a warmonger and a RINO. Yet, I saw no reason to condemn anyone who mourns his loss. I'm sure his family is devastated.

Depends on the leader
