that was sweet of them. My Brother in law died a few years back, i knew him since i was young teen and loved him. in his final days My sister and others told him gentle lies to help ease him on his way. I fully get it, it does no harm and most likely gave him some comfort.
This is not a left or right issue.
I know a Trump supporter who died the day after the election who wanted to know who won. They would have told him Trump no matter what the outcome.
The issue is about lying to a dying person to make their exit easier.
Saying someone "died peacefully in their sleep surrounded by loved ones" is usually a whitewash for went out doped up on morphine to alleviate the pain with a confused and fuzzy mind, in and out of consciousness. It's not as peaceful or pretty as described. Conversations can vary from the mundane to politics and business as usual and the person doesn't necessarily need or want endless rounds of there-there/we love you's.
I love how stupid these liberal snowflakes have become. These people are truly out of it. I guess he died in his safe place.
you are confused. Nothing to do with "liberal" and everything to do with family and love. I am sure if your kid, or dad was dying you too would try to make it better for them even if that means being dishonest.
Or are you going to lie to the world and pretend Conservatives dont lie and would not lie to make someone feel better as they die.
My dad hates Obama, if he was in that position maybe 5 years ago, i would have gladly told him 'they found Obama's birth cert , he is stepping down to try to avoid impeachment, but the news is saying he will be facing prison....
That would have allowed my dad to just slip away on the spot, eased into death knowing his arch enemy had been defeated.
These days my dad has calmed down, he lost interest in the "hating"...

I think good drugs would be better for someone that obsessed with politics.
I have no comment on this story but I do think anyone who uses the word "tRump" in what they presume to be an adult conversation should be allowed to stay on their parents' health insurance.
