Am I a terrible person if I hope...

...that those scumbags all get together to celebrate their "victory" and in the process give each other Covid and then slowly, one by one, die a painful death.
Does that make me a terrible person?
I think it does. I think I AM a terrible person.
I think I can live with that.

then one of the other scumbags can give the rest of them Covid-19 ...

I think it makes you a very decent person because these people are the scum of the earth and they are determined to destroy the lives of the majority of us. There is nothing wrong with wishing them ill. I can't even tell you how often I fantasize about their demise - and in detail. It's what keeps me going these days.

In fact, I just conjured up a fantasy where all the conservative justices were going to lunch and were on a street corner waiting to cross, when a huge semi-truck lost control almost colliding with another truck and ran right up on to the curb and took them all out at the same time. I know I am a sick person, but this is what they have done to me. But I really enjoy thinking up scenarios like that. It actually keeps me sane, which many of you may question. I can't help it. Flame away.

Can we be friends? I’ve decided I no longer want friends who are tolerant of the right wing insanity. I want friends who vociferously oppose it to the point of fantasizing about the pain and misery that they deserve. I will no longer enable right wing nut job values by staying silent about them...the same way I stopped enabling racism by staying silent when I observed it in others. I’m going to be “in their faces” about their right wing bullshit from now on. I think I’m a wonderful person, too. I would put my values up against ANY Christian’s and most certainly against ANY republican’s. And I bet you could say the same about your values. So no, you are not a terrible person.

My belief......I think why they aren't concerned about all of us catching Covid is they (the Reps) wish all of us would get it and die. They care not all about any of us. They have no intention of supporting anything that Democrats believe is important. I believe we need to stop looking at them as reasonable and willing to meet us halfway. LOL They (the Reps) are laughing at us and saying "we did it"!!! Ha! Ha!..........am I angry?..............Yes, damn angry!!

I agree with the OP, I wish nothing but harm to horrible people and nothing but happiness to decent people. This Barrett thinks my child born through IVF should not exist. She thinks my family with our small business health plan through the ACA should be scared every day that we will all lose our health care.

Why on earth should I wish anything but horror onto people who think my family should not exist and/or have no health care?

So why should you or I do the same?
The GOP made a lot of assumptions under Trump these last 4 years, and they did this assuming the Democratic Party will have the same reaction that they had after Bush/Cheney broke laws.
That's not going to happen this time.

I've spent my life a quiet and just-ignore-them person.
But a few days ago, someone coughed at me and told me to take off my mask, and then laughed as they ran by.
I did something I've never done: I later saw him coming my way; blocked him so he couldn't pass, stood over him, looked down at him, and called him a "little shit."
He nervously smiled and squeamishly walked around me.

If I've changed through all of this, I'm sure many more like me have, as well.

This is not going to end pretty for the GOP.

If you have a shred of guilt you would feel awful and while that is what you should feel, my heart would go out to the poor folks in your path.
