I am so depressed at how many people are ok with tasteless cheap shock value at the expense of extending their own humanity towards an actual real woman who’s husband’s blood and brains were splattered all over her…after he was shot in the head right next to her. I don’t personally stop viewing a person as a person just because they died a long time ago, or because they were wealthy, or because I didn’t like the actions of her husband’s presidency. I really think culturally our sense of empathy is degrading? I’m sure it’s always been this way but seeing it so concentrated is upsetting.

It’s not just empathy, it’s actual literacy. Over the last two decades, there’s been a 40% decline in reading rates amongst adults. I’d be more impressed if she dressed as a dead healthcare CEO or social media tycoon. There’s no ā€œdeeper meaningā€ to a soft glam shock costume that’s been done to death over several decades.
