You’re conflating.

There’s a difference between recognizing an inevitability based on behavior (irresponsible divisive behavior during a pandemic, calling a virus a Democratic hoax) and celebrating his demise.

There’s a difference between feeling a sense of justice that he got sick and celebrating it. There’s a very real chance that we will all take our chances with this virus before it’s done. Most of us will be fine, but not all of us. Knowing that, and that his actions very much set us on this course … is it any wonder that people feel a sense of justice seeing him reap what he has shown?

That’s not celebration.

We are now in yet another national crisis that was completely avoidable. By very simple means. Nobody is celebrating.

I’m just not losing any sleep over him being sick. And I don’t feel sorry for him because it was bound to happen sooner or later. It doesn’t matter how much of a stable genius he thinks he is, he’s as much as very fallible, vulnerable human being as the rest of us.

Frankly, the rest of us would be a lot better off if this virus had ripped through Washington DC earlier the way it ripped through New York and California. Public servants would have had to take it seriously instead of acting like they did.

I don’t celebrate that fact. But I’m not wasting my humanity on those who would deny or trounce all over it without a second thought or hesitation. They don’t deserve it.
