rush limbaugh’s in hell now where he belongs 💖 here are some of his greatest hits, beyond him just being a far-right trump-loving conservative, so everybody will know why we’re all celebrating his death:

  • he constantly made fun of gay men for dying throughout the entire AIDS crisis. it was literally his main running joke. he regularly gave joyful “AIDS updates” while playing a happy love song in the background, and would read off the names of dead gay people while playing whistles and air horns
  • he was literally person who popularized the word “feminazi”
  • article: Rush Limbaugh Says “Rape Police” Left Cares Too Much About Consent + him constantly saying consent isn’t a thing and his whole “no means yes” speech
  • article: Rush Limbaugh Says the Obamas Need to Get Over Slavery Already
  • he called BLM a “hate group” and “terrorists”
  • he compared gay men to pedophiles and said the lgbt movement was also trying to “normalize pedophilia”
  • he said there are too many black men in sports and that “the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons”
  • he said champion quarterback donovan mcnabb is “overrated because he’s black”
  • he made fun of michael j fox for having parkinson’s
  • he called chelsea clinton a “dog” when she was 12 years old

and all these are just the tip of the iceberg. he was a popular radio host for decades and fed millions of people racism, misogyny, homophobia, etc, and i bet an argument could be made about him being one of the main voices who radicalized the american far-right

so…….. i think we should give him the exact same respect he gave all the gay people who died in the AIDS crisis
