The short answer to the second question, is no. There is no limit.
There is nothing that an in-group "us" politician could do, that would be so irredeemable, that US consensus would be OK with not saying nice things about them when they die.
Take all the time that you need to process this.

One of the 1st things that Biden did that started losing him support of Black voters, was his callous reaction to Black capitol Hill staffers after Jan 6. Staffers were terrified of working with people that they knew had opened doors for the insurrectionists. So he threatened... his own staffers. Seriously. https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/113420269527791142 The expectation is that staffers be civil and polite with their "colleagues," even if those colleagues publicly express genocidal intent against them.🤷🏿♂️ This trend applies even more so in the event of the passing of a colleague. Eg, Biden gave Strom Thurmond's eulogy. Strom. Thurmond. Seriously.
