Also a whole mess of political stuff to get tangled up in

Like how Churchill kind of sucked and all that

LOL! Somehow, I don't think that's really a major consideration with most fandoms. Because, you know, it doesn't really figure heavily into other fandoms with a political angle. It's more likely to be the RPF aspect that puts people off.

You have to admit, regardless of his politics, Churchill is SO DAMN QUOTABLE. And he went to a lot of work to be that way.

Random reply, I know, but I saw a lot of Civ 6 quotes, and some of the best were his.

Oh, the guy could talk, for sure. One of the great parliamentary figures of all time.

Well, he was good when we needed him, during WWII. It was only after that he turned out to be terrible. And yes, I know he did some bad things before too, but I still think he was ultimately a good war PM. Not so much during peacetime.

He was a good war leader, and he was genuinely better than most of the other conservatives of the time. but in general, I would say that he was pretty bad throughout his career and that the war (and the build-up to war) was the only part where he was really good.

That was all we needed at the time but boy did we need it.

He was a good biographer and a dreadful artist. He talked openly about his depression. He loved his wife. As politicians go, that's not bad, and as a war leader, the world would be an infinitely worse place were it not for him.

And don't forget, he was born in the 1870s so his worldview is not our worldview.
