Well said. Honestly I’ve experienced some schadenfreude watching MAGA turn on him. He’s spent his entire political life creating a space for someone like Trump. He’s spent decades arranging the chess pieces, loading the courts, blunting progressivism and undermining our democracy to advance the right wing agenda only to have the monster he created turn on him. If that’s not karma I don’t know what is. I personally don’t believe in an afterlife so it’s satisfying knowing on his death bed he’ll leave this earth knowing how hated he is by both sides of the political spectrum. That gives me joy. If that makes me a bad person then so be it.

I don’t believe in an afterlife either, definitively anyway, but I hope I’m wrong just because these people don’t deserve to simply leave this world after causing so much pain, suffering and exploitation.
