I find myself in an uncomfortable and precarious position. While I want no Americans to suffer from this [View all]

evil cabal, I in NO way want the MF'ers to succeed. I want them to fail so badly that it utterly destroys the sick movement.
The dilemma is that this will bring immense pain and suffering to, not only America but also to the world.
I am struggling to find a way to juggle this mental predicament.
