Ya, but that’s not happening to him, it’s happening to someone who is probably no longer him and is just a frightened old man like any other. I wish bad things upon the past Mitch who was aware and doing terrible shit, but this isn’t him anymore.
It’s important to remember that an outlet for rage rarely aligns with our usual morals.
So instead, let’s fight elder abuse while ensuring future generations understand that this man was a fucking nazi who brought nothing but shame to the nation and state he swore to serve, while enriching himself.
This image from the article is rough. I have watched three grandparents decline mentally before they passed, and that is the face of someone who is not sure where they are but is doing their best to pretend they aren’t lost and scared.
As much as I hate the man for evil he has put into the world, that is not Mitch anymore, and I legitimately feel sorry for the lost mind trapped inside his body. I hope he passes soon, for everyone’s sake.
Look, I want to piss on his grave as much as anyone, but it isn't retribution or justice when the individual suffering no longer remembers who they are or what they did. Makes me think of Nier: Automata with

I'm just ready for Kentucky to get another chance at a thinking representative.
Great game. Still don’t care. Dude has done imessurable harm to innocent and oppressed people. My grandma went like this and it’s horrible to watch. My grandma never heald a seat of power and helped destroy the United States and murder women and children. Fuck Mitch. Fuck the shell of Mitch and may his mindless bitch ass be as scared and unaware until he shuffles off this mortal coil. This is the great equalizer and just more evidence why we should be kind to each other and not tolerate Nazis. Mitch has been instrumental to where we are as a nation of Nazis right now. And we aren’t even fucking getting started.
Sincerely one of his constituents.
Vote trump into prison. No quarter. No more sympathy. America lives or dies this November.
It’s not so much satisfaction in the sense that he is suffering but that his immense horrible power is coming to an end. And that nature and time are truly the great equalizer. I would be satisfied if he could experince all of this with the same lack of compassion and health insurance that his tenure has caused so many people to suffer like he is with zero help and care. Mitch is doing just fucking fine. The people he has voted to punish and destroy have not. And I hope they are waiting for him. Look up his voting record. And don’t loose that heart you have. But don’t let it let the pedophiles rape the earth.
You must not know much about McConnell. I’m not reveling I’m just happy it’s almost over for him because HE IS STILL VOTING AND HOLDING POWER KILLING PEOPLE YOU DIPSHIT.
Edit: Sorry about calling you a dipshit. I’m frustrated. This man is a political technical genius and he is fucking evil. The fact that he is now a zombie voter representing me makes me fucking furious. And he has been my senator my whole fucking life so please let me have a little break to celebrate the downfall of a Neo confederate Nazi who has never represented any of my interests nor my states and again has been instrumental in dismantling America and killing millions.
People like to say Trump is the symptom, but the disease is Mitch and others like them. Old, worn out, ancient thoughts that need to die out sooner than later.
The paradox (or rather, Popper's solution) describes curbing their influence and participation in society. It doesn't necessitate personal spite. It's perfectly possible to both say "I'm sorry that you suffer" and "...but I don't want you having a say in my politics".
I get it had the same thing happen to my granma it was awful to watch and something I'd normally not wish on anyone. However, I can only hope Mitch suffers the same fate and survives a decade as a husk. Its the karma he deserves.
Yeah, I think it's possible (and sometimes valuable) to have both disdain for someone's actions and decisions and compassion for things they didn't and couldn't decide. I hope he is removed from all positions of influence, but I wouldn't wish dementia on him any more than I would on anyone else.
He'd probably still do a better job than the current one with greater awareness of the topics at hand, even while approaching the state of a vegetable as an arch conservative.
No like I said I get the context but the generalized statement of saying a representative shouldn't be told how to vote is both humorously incorrect and the exact problem of our current system. They are told how to, but by corporations and not constituents
It’s not a generalized statement. It’s specific to the fact that Mitch McConnell no longer has the ability to think. He almost voted democrat and had to be told to vote republican. That is the context. Not the fact that republicans and a lot of democrats are bought and paid for by corporations and pedophile billlionairs which is very true.
They never tell me what happened to the last one, only that there were others, and have been for the past 3000 years. I am starting to suspect the worm killed them. I will ask Moneo in the morning, and bring my trusty lasgun.
I think their staff has a huge role to play in all of this. All those people know they will lose their job when he leaves so they are all holding him up and keeping him there. It's actually kind of sad that we treat the elderly this way. Even if I don't like the guy I feel like becoming an actual puppet while you are actively dying is so cruel. He should be in a bed somewhere
I know we should be sad to see his down fall from the "upstanding" individual he was by protecting the US form mandatory Paid Sick Leave, stealing a SCOTUS seat claiming 600+ days was too soon to get Neil Gorsuch, fighting against "greedy" 9/11 survivors, opposing civil rights, and filling a SCOTUS seat after an election had occurred with a Biden win. I hope the rest if his life is painful and very public
I dislike that man so much, but fuck this is cruel. You don’t treat people this way. Even pieces of shit like Mitch. The time to make him pay for being a racist asshole is long gone. He’s not there anymore.
Treat them like what? Pointing out he's a shitty human being that is putting his pursuit of power and fascism ahead of his own health?
Nah, the cruelty is on him, his family, and his fascists, not the rest of us for pointing out his a shitty human being for putting his pursuit of power and fascism ahead of his health, that he justly deserves in my opinion, and it's perfectly valid to voice that opinion.
I would be inclined to agree, but in this case I'm certain this is absolutely how Mitch would want it to play out if it were between this and not being involved at all.

I forget which vote, but he voted the opposite of how he was supposed to and a bunch of aids had to jump in.
They just yelled at him to vote the other way, didn't even attempt to explain what was happening.
