Spouse just read me something about how scared Trump is and...

I hope he feels the fear of every person he has separated from their families. Of every person he& #39;s kept locked up in cages. Of every person who& #39;s died, of covid or something else, alone in hospital because of him.

That is the opposite of heartless.

To wish that a cruel and heartless man be free from fear: that& #39;s what& #39;s heartless.

Would you wish health and freedom from fear to Pharaoh, Haman, Pilate, or Tiberius?

Liberation is accomplished primarily by making powerful men afraid.

Note that I am not saying Trump& #39;s sickness will be liberating to anyone: just that I find the pious shaming sickening and hypocritical.

When tyrants tremble, sick with fear,
& hear their death-knell ringing,
when friends rejoice both far and near,
how can I keep from singing?
In prison cell and dungeon vile,
our thoughts to them go winging;
when friends by shame are undefiled,
how can I keep from singing?

Oh, and if you think what I& #39;ve written is impious you might want to take a gander at your good book and decolonize your religion.
