      If this were a normal, fairly subjective disagreement, I’d feel the same way.

      If this were a medium level disagreement and they were objectively wrong, I’d also feel the same way.

      Supporting Trump is stunningly, objectively wrong, and in doing so they’re basically doing the opposite of this. They’re supporting lots of people losing a lot more than their homes.

      I fully support being happy about it.

        The sad part about it is that they’re probably blaming the democrats or the illegal immigrants or Zelensky or some other ridiculous bullshit, instead of facing reality…

      This person was happy to screw other people over and voted for it. The fact that they’re reaping the results of the hate they sewed makes me happy and I don’t feel the least bit bad about it.

      In every rational situation, I would fully agree. But this man elected someone who told them, to their face, that they would be downsizing the government. The WORKED for the government. I want to call it stupidity, but it was maliciousness that backfired, so yeah. Fuck em.

        I think the only reason people ever say things like this make them ‘happy’ is in the absence of a more accurate label.

        Schadenfreude? Commonly translated to English as “joy at seeing other’s misfortune.” I hope in most cases it is more associated with seeing someone in the wrong receiving their comeuppance. The joy of watching your enemy suffer a setback or even defeat.

      I’m simply happy that they’re seeing what they wanted for other people. They voted for the man who openly said he would make life harder and kick people out of their homes, and they gleefully enjoyed it thinking it was only people they disliked.

      I’m all for people learning lessons the hard way when they refused to see reason. Especially when the reason was to be kind and empathetic in the first place.

      I get that we want to gloat. Because we were right. But what happens with this person? Does he see how wrong he was? Does he attempt to change his ways, and influence others who thought the same? Does this bring about any kind of positive change? Or does he just go live in his pickup truck with a camper shell and blame Obama and Biden because he’s poor now?

      He’s not losing his home, it’s the bank’s home, being passed along to a new owner. He literally voted for what’s happening right now, you reap what you sow.

      Think you’re in the wrong community man. We’re here to revel in the schadenfreude no holds barred.
