    We keep hoping that Conservatives are going to suddenly realize how stupid they have been, when history has proven time and again that Conservatives will simply blame some out-group and become violent. They’re not going to turn on Trump and learn anything. They are going to start burning down bilingual daycares and hospitals that aren’t owned by churches or some other boomer shit.

    I don’t expect to receive Social Security, but I don’t want to see people who need it now lose it, because my politics is not about hurting people who disagree with me. Vengeance is not justice, and schadenfreude is not informative.

      For me, it’s not about vengeance as much as the hope that people will finally become uncomfortable enough to change something. But yeah, you’re right; Donald could personally kick them in the nuts and they’d lay on the ground groaning “why would immigrants do this?”
