    That’s not what the people who are gleeful about his impending death are downright cheering about. They’re gleeful because of their parasocial hatred of the man.

    What you are talking about is an entirely different discussion. You are just shifting the goalposts.

    I hate Biden because he had a major hand in letting Trump win, but I legitimately do not give a fuck that hes dying of cancer, pro or con. He is irrelevant now. And the people invested in this are experiencing their own derangement syndrome, only worse than most cases because Biden is no longer even president.

      Well, he did enslave and/or murder millions of people so there is plenty of revenge to be had

      The gleeful people are gleeful because the man is responsible for a genocide, and a painful death is the only measure of justice he’ll get. “Parasocial” is a term for obsessivelt following twitch streamers, not seeking any sort of accountability for the most powerful person in the world.

      Plenty of people are also rightfully upset at further proof that Democratic leadership lied to them, and lied to them in a way that threw a layup election to Republicans.
