One is survivorship bias. People who die young tend to be counter cultural and have risky or downright dangerous habits. Future conservative ghouls are risk averse by definition (Trump & Biden are teetotalers for example).
Second part is them lacking the time to publicly develop their flaws. I’m fully convinced that many idealized martyrs would go the way of Kanye if they lived long enough. Nobody truly knows how Tupac, Morrison or Hendrix would react to modern politics. On the other hand, if J.K. Rowling dropped dead after the last period on Harry Potter she’d be immortalized.
Me and my friends were talking. How come only good people seem to die from accidents? Dick Cheney gets to die from old age.

I’m familiar but haven’t heard the term in a while so for those reading: Teetotalism
Only the good die young
All dogs go to heaven
