Herman Cain Survived Stage 4 Cancer

from Cain's wiki page

<In 2006, Cain was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer in his colon and metastases to his liver and given a 30 percent chance of survival. Cain underwent surgery and chemotherapy following the diagnosis, and the cancer was subsequently reported to be in remission>

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herman_Cain#Personal_life

This whole thing with Cain just shows the gross the support for Trump is . It's such a clear example of it. He survived something that most people would die from and he could have lived a long life, maybe even longer than most people do.

But because of Trump it's like he committed suicide. It wasn't even for a political/ideological agenda. It was all about Trump. And we all know that Trump doesn't give a shit about what happened. He isn't upset or sad in any way at what happened to Cain. If he is upset it's because of how it's inconvenient to him with people asking about why he held the rallies and just exposes his weakness on fighting the virus.

EXACTLY the same way.

The MSM that he mocked so ruthlessly, are bending over backwards to say nice things about him, and not mock his death.

Fuck Him! He didn't give 2 Shits about the lives of other people, by criticizing the wearing of masks. Who knows if he gave it to someone else who died?

His family can come up with all the excuses they want.

Seriously Herman Cain mocked people who wear masks in public only to die of the virus. Then the day before, that TP USA guy died from the virus after mocking people who wear masks.

Moral of the story? Masks work, and don't be a fucking dumbass.

5. I definitely have experience with stage 4 colon cancer

My dad had it and was able to fight it for six years, but the cancer eventually got to be too much. To survive such a thing and then be stupid with Covid is just a shame, even if Cain was a Repuke.

his oncologists. They worked really hard and achieved something amazing, and he went and flushed it all down the toilet.

Still, if he's making Trump look a little worse, and introducing a little more doubt into the minds of his cultists, then his death has not been in vain.

You would think someone who survived stage 4 cancer would value their health more...

I cannot say I don't understand the psychology of indulging in risk-taking behaviors with health consequences. I get why people binge-drink or eat sugar. But not the risks of hanging out with creeps, charlatans and assholes-talk about zero-reward risks.....
