In It to Win It

Trumpworld delighted in cruelty. Now that Trump has COVID, it demands empathy.

Trump supporters love how he "owns the libs," including when he mocked Hillary Clinton's bout with pneumonia on the 2016 campaign trail.

Now that Trump has COVID, Trumpists are shocked — shocked! — that some of his critics are being "mean" to him.

Even an amoral bully such as Trump deserves sympathy for contracting a dreaded disease that's already killed 200,000 of his fellow Americans.

But after luxuriating in Trump's cruelty for years, his supporters have absolutely no moral high ground on which to stand.

is if he survives. He is finished politically - he was already too far behind to win and with him ill, he can't regain that gap - it will probably get bigger, if anything. Pence is a joke, too. His political machine will fall apart. And when he loses, the lawsuits and the sharks will come after him. The loans will come due. The people he threatened, blackmailed into submission will turn on him. Putin will be wanting his investment back. Even if he survives he will never be a well person again - the virus does a lot of bad things like enlarge the heart, wreck the lungs, etc. It will be hell on earth for him if he lives through it. And hell if he doesn't.

You want to know what compassion is?

I’ve worn my mask, stayed in my home, and done my part for the last 8 goddamn months while other people partied, gathered in large unnecessary crowds, and screamed at grocery store clerks.

It’s not my compassion that’s the problem.

As they so eloquently say, "Fuck your feelings".

Now that the shoe is on the other foot they want empathy? No, it doesn't work that way. And they have no right to demand that it should.

Our side said that following Science was the best path forward. We have decisively won that battle with recent events. What Joe and democratic office seekers need to do not is set a positive roadmap on how we get from where we are now to a future where America is back up and running and people are not afraid to go out.

“You pity the fool because you don't want to beat up a fool! You know, pity is between sorry and mercy. See, if you pity him, you know, you won't have to beat him up. So that's why I say fools, you gotta give another chance because they don't know no better. That's why I pity them!”

I wanted him well so to be slaughtered in the election along with the rest of his Republicans. Then I wanted him well to face trial and humiliation of losing. I wanted him well to enjoy prison.

This could all still happen. But, I could see a sympathy vote (while the Repigs still try to shut down Democratic voters); Dems letting up on the gas because they see him less dangerous; and Republicans are always dangerous and it is best we push harder, longer and with direction than ever.

My guy friend, bless his heart, has the stomach to go over onto Breitbart, and all of those ass clowns are mad at Hollywood stars who said, Mr. tRump said some nasty things about others and he surely didn't care about the 210 K deaths caused by covid-19 and one Hollywood person said tRump mocked Hillary when she was ill in 2016, so no sympathy from them.

IF Dems could hear some of the things my friend told me that Breitbart subscribers are saying about Dems in general, Pres. Obama, Michelle and Biden/Harris, Nancy they wouldn't take their feet off the gas.

No, my friend said that many of those fuckers are wishing that ALL Dems die from Covid. Wishing that Michelle had it instead of someone as lovely and less tranny than Moochelle obummer. I'm not going to repeat what they said about Pres. Obama, but what my friend said one guy over there said and they marked up votes by the thousands. They're over there saying that Biden should suspend his campaign because it's unfair to Pres. tRump. also at the same time wishing Covid on him and his wife Jill. Pence is still campaigning against Harris/Biden, yet DEMS should stop their campaigns because fat ass didn't wear a mask and contracted covid (IF he really did. I have my doubts because all that white house does is LIE. Fatso's lied over 25,000 times).

I never wish anything on anyone, because I don't want something to come back on me, but fuck the GOP, fuck tRumpcaronavirus-45 and his fuck that gold-digging tramp Malaria.

...sick, mentally warped, freaks, misguided and dangerous. We come from a place where we want the best. They want what they want and it is unsettling, and for the most part, it is racist, it is ignorant, it is hateful, and it is unhinged from reality.

That said, when we attack Trump IT IS WARRANTED. I don't have to reiterate here the crimes as any sentient being gets it. The name calling by these apes is as useless, and empty, a humane gesture as monkeys flinging feces. WE on the other hand can feel confident we are right, and pursue, truth, good, beauty and joy. Yes pedal to the metal and smash the Trumpanzees. Destroy them in reality of the ballot box and they can live in their "social media" fantasies of windmill jousting.
