Next, let’s make locks and window blinds illegal too - how can big brother protect us and fight crime if they can’t see what we’re doing 24/7? Also, why are people criminals putting letters in envelopes - do they have something to hide? Big brother should be able to read all mail too, any time he feels like it. It’s all for our own good and to fight crime after all!

He absolutely did and does, no doubt about it. But it’s him suffering going to fix any of that or improve the lives of people he and his goons destroyed? I don’t know what to think about it, it’s too philosophical for my small monkey brain…

Sure, but doesn’t that make you (and me too, since I actually grinned and felt really good about this initially) very similar to him and US republicans in general? Celebrating the “right people” being hurt?

I don’t have an answer, I find it super hard to not hate the other side, but I don’t think it’s healthy or productive, and it doesn’t really help anyone… Having said that, it does feel like at least the beginning of just punishment, doesn’t it? I just wish people stopped being total dicks to each other and we didn’t have to punish anyone… :(

I try to not be happy when people suffer, because I believe we should all be working to reduce suffering for everyone and not increase it for others (even if they are “those people”), but sometimes it’s really hard…
