Is wishing hardship for all of us, including the most vulnerable. Though the fact is we can’t control it because Trump has already ruined everything. But no, I do not take pleasure in joblessness, homelessness, and starvation. That is not consistent with my values. If I did, I’d be a Republican.

My job is in the line. I don’t find that an occasion for celebration. You can’t pretend the hardships only affect Republicans, since many or most of those losing their jobs and retirement finds are not MAGAs.
