The legacy of a person is their words and actions, is dying some immensely noble act? Obviously being disrespectful towards the dead is accepted in some cases, so it’s not a rule, and you have to justify this individual case outside of moralist platitudes.

Remember when the same people who called Trump a racist fascist who wanted to destroy democracy^TM and obliterate the rights of huge segments of the US population went and wished him well after his ear was grazed by a paper airplane, condemning all celebrations of this as morally repugnant? And the same for when he caught Covid years ago? Why? Can people only be disrespected when they’re in perfect health with a full blood supply and intact ears?

Libs only let you disrespect when there's no risk of anything actually changing. Quite telling.
