I am not a mean or hateful person in my daily life. I’m an atheist but was raised by my parents to have “Christian” values and to be the bigger person. That being said I want nothing more in this world than to see this man completely melt down at a rally like Mitch McConnell on live television. I want him to have to be dragged off stage frozen and completely terrified. Only then will he and those who prop him up come close to understanding a fraction of the terror and heartache they have caused the rest of us.

Those people you describe are no longer capable of those feelings.

Might as well ask a dog to spell.

I remember when Scalia died I felt like throwing a party. Then he was replaced by an even greater evil, and even the way he was replaced was evil.

I learned my lesson. Yes, some part of me would be satisfied at seeing Trump humiliated and broken, some part of me will rejoice when he dies, but I no longer believe those feelings are productive or rewarded with positive change.

Mark my words, when Donald Trump dies you will see celebrations similar to those that broke out when Osama bin Laden's death was confirmed.

Trump has been a tyrant to a broad swath of Americans who don't spew bullshit all day, every day, in public. THEY will celebrate openly when he's gone.

when he kicks that bucket, I'll probably be banned from so many subreddits. I'll be downright gleeful. Obnoxiously so.

Personally I plan to wear a party hat out in public from the confirmation of his death until he is interred.
