I can see this both ways - I also lamented his recovery, but it does make you feel something strange wishing for another human to die.
I think you’re on a false moral highground. I used to be up there with you, saying stuff like this feels like the right thing to say. Its civil, its kind, and it has no place in modern politics. He is barely a human in my eyes. He lacks any and all compassion and will sell out his state the second that he can, and has done so before. He is a lying pile of grease and greed that has no place in the world.
Maybe a good middle ground is just saying ‘i hope bad things happen to him’ but not explicitly calling for someone’s death?
Nah. I hope the fucker dies, soon. An enormous piece of shit that has made millions of people’s lives soooo much worse, resulting in plenty of deaths, too. The world would be better off the sooner he dies. Maybe he can go visit desantis and they can get in a car accident together… something something two rats with one stone.
I don’t know, maybe I’m just naïve, but it feels like dehumanizing the other side (which, yes, is what they do to us) drives us further apart. I’m not saying “when they go low, we go high”, but I can’t help but feel like it’s harmful to my own psyche to dehumanize others.
Then again, I wouldn’t say, “I wish Hitler hadn’t killed himself” (except for him to face a harsh and public punishment for his crimes) and, though I’m not up on what McConnell has particularly done, if he’s anything like the middle to most extreme of the R party, it’s probably still fascist activity.
Well there’s your error. Mitch McConnell hasn’t been a human being for ages now.
