scha·den·freu·de /ˈSHädənˌfroidə/ noun noun: Schadenfreude; noun: schadenfreude pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune.

Republicans run entirely on schadenfreude, but be aware of it in your own heart, as it has been creeping into the hearts of all Americans to varying extents for 50 years.

Remember that the next time you decide to feel superior and scold someone who is suffering for their "bad decisions."

At the end of the day, most of them are brainwashed victims of monied interests using them to keep peasant Americans at odds so we all never look up at who is fucking us as we're too busy fighting our fellow peasant on social wedges.

I don't have any respect for them, but I do pity the poor bastards. They traded their humanity for blind, white hot hatred poisoning their mind and body all day every day. There's nothing we can do to them to make them suffer more than that. Fight them and disrespect them all day, but don't let yourself become like them. The dark side that is.

Republicans are secondary antagonists, pawns. The ones that made them, that manipulated them into what they are today, the nation's oligarch class, who engineered all this division not out of hatred, but out of sociopathic greed and selfishness, are the primary antagonists of the United States.

Considering they literally want to kill/utterly repress people that don't look like/aren't as privileged as they are, I'm going to schadenfreude mein Arschloch when they get their due.

The cruelty is the point.

All you politicians with your big talk always make the same promises, then when you get into office, it's always the same story: no people suffering! Why should I believe this time will be any different?
