    It makes me mad at myself, but his fear and confusion in that moment was cathartic. You have to hurt a lot of people eyes wide open to actually deserve the suffering of witnessing your own mind and sense of self crumbling from the inside, but Reagan was and McConnell is on that list.

    We at least got to witness him experience a tiny sliver of the shame, pain, and terror of the Americans he inflicted his cruelty on for decades with a shit eating grin so he could cut his own taxes and that of his country club friends on the backs of hard working, struggling human beings.

    No sympathy for the devil. I’ll remember you this way, Mitch. Now go fade away you spooky, sociopathic fuck.

          Don’t let schadenfreude and tribalism blind you for the reasons for disliking this person. You don’t win in politics if your opponent dies from old age, you win by shifting the forces that decide elections. Cheering on the… lets see here… inescapable march of time on a human’s body invites much the same onto yourself in the future. That is, don’t laugh at old people deteriorating if you don’t want younguns in the future to laugh at you or your grandma. It’s a journey that we all take, and I feel like it should have some dignity in it.

          I wish he and his family good health, and that the political structure around him fades into history.

            He’s an objectively bad person. My grandma isn’t, and I try not to be. If we are, you can make fun of us when we get that old too. (and I ain’t no spring chicken)

            I don’t just disagree with the man’s politics, I recognize that he has played exceptionally dirty, and is responsible for policies and appointments that have hurt people, many of whom are far too young to even know who he is or what his politics are, many of them his own constituents. His hand in raising up Trump and fanning the flames of the damage Trump did is just one of the most recent and visible details. Dehumanizing entire segments of the US population is literally the only thing his entire party does with their political power. That’s it.

            He has legitimately damaged the fabric of this nation, and I have no tears to shed for his deteriorating health. He and those like him need to exit the corridors of power - I’m not in the slightest picky about the mechanism of that exit.

              When they killed Caesar they didn’t make it better. Killing Jesus didn’t do anything either. You can kill a person, not an ideology or a power vacuum.
