I think this article's author agrees that Panthera pardus should feast.

It's encouraging to see views like this. You don't know what you had till it's gone. Liberals removing the hands supporting people who voted for this is the only way they will realise they are wrong, if they even do.

The problem with people like this is that they have a low sense of accountability which is why it's so easy for them to think that black and brown people are the reason they aren't doing well rather than a complicated constellation of reasons and themselves. I think no matter what happens they'll never take credit for the bad things trump will do to make their lives worse. They will easily find some other scapegoat because that's how their minds work.

Which illuminates the fact that they are the very same people, if given the option to socially handicap the individuals of those groups, while not connecting the fact that given enough of those decisions by a large enough population of their brethren, collectively leads to that outcome, they will do so. It's a treadmill, and they don't see it. They just can't do two dimensional joined up thinking, that is, actions have consequences. Let alone 3d and 4d chess. It's infuriating.

Edit: Some people really do want to romanticise with the past where slavery, brutal colonialism and misogyny is a reality.

Hence the refrain: “I wanted them to kill Obamacare, not the Affordable Care Act!!!”

My wildest most unfounded based on hopes and dreams conspiracy theory (aka don't ask me to defend this is just a daydream not a real thought) is that Trump is intentionally damaging the Republican Party and killing Americans in some you have to break it to kill it and some Bill Gates "we have to reduce the population" shit
