‘I Want Vengeance,’ Said The Christian-Hater

. . .Maddux: It’s reached a point for me where I am actually Happy when someone who is Christian or Republican Suffers.  I didn’t use to be like that.  But in the age of Trump, it is what it is.  I really can no longer empathize.  I just realized that if Rod got cancer tomorrow & passed, the dominant emotion I would feel would be happiness.  Is this healthy? Probably not.  But it is what it is, in the age of Trump.  I wish you guys nothing but ill-will & when the Democrats control the levers of power again, I don’t want balance restored.  I want vengeance for all the things you guys did while in power. . .
