John McCain was hated until he spent his last bit of energy in defiance of Trump, and that let them forget everything he ever did and become a "hero" to them all.
Not quite true, he was also beloved in every year except 2008. His whole shtick was that he would have a 'Straight Talk Express' where he'd provide access to journalists who would provide him with fawning coverage. Let's be real, he's always been a warmonger and a stain on the world.

Truth, but the benefit of dying right after such an action is that it mostly seals your legacy in because you can't be around to fuck it up.
