    Hell yeah on Trump getting what he deserves. But I don’t think gloating posts like these are good in the long run. They tend to just polarize things more in my experience. We need less us vs them.

      We tried that. It didn’t work. They just said “fuck your feelings”, they said “cry your liberal tears”. Everyone most people tried to take the high road, show that “we’re better than that”. But it didn’t do a lick of good. So I’m gonna enjoy this win and gloat about it.

        Absolutely. The divide isn’t going to be solved any time soon.

        I respect those who choose the high road, but acting in good faith and expecting reciprocation is what they love to dunk on.

      No, I think I’ll go on gloating to these unhinged sycophants that their godking is now a convicted felon and their whining and tears are so very satisfying.

      The moment they decided to attempt a literal coup is the moment they solidified any polarization. That ship has sailed. Now it’s time to see everything they worship fall apart.

        No quarter for traitors.

        Now, we should be mindful. Some of these people are misguided or misinformed, but there’s also people who are acting in bad faith. For these, you can’t convince them. They fundamentally disagree with human rights, rights in general, and democracy.

        I’m A-OK with making fun of modern day Nazis.

          I would say that by now, nearly 10 years after all this nonsense began, anyone who is still misguided or misinformed is being that way willfully.
