A person’s death doesn’t erase the damage they spent a lifetime doing. It doesn’t magically convert cruelty into courage or arrogance into virtue. Legacy isn’t written at the moment of death, it’s written in the years before it. And Rob Reiner’s public life deserves to be remembered exactly as it was, divisive, contemptuous, and fueled by an open hatred for people he considered beneath him. No canonization. No forced mourning.
Just the truth, plain, uncomfortable, and earned.
