I assume the primary benefit is for decent people's mental health.

You are probably right.

The reason these people voted for orange puke man is because they hate people like us. So why are we not allowed to feel negatively about them?

Ostracizing people over politics is bad. That is all.

It's not mere politics, no matter how many times those finding out (and their sympathizers) might attempt to reduce it to that.

Didn't you just call another poster a sadist for similar posts, FXE?

Also, you seem a little fixated on this very petty retribution (actually kind of a running theme with you), it's kind of weird given that you don't even live here.

I'm not sure you're comparing apples to apples. I'm just celebrating people leaving toxic relatives behind.

If it's as you've insisted, this isn't retribution and Trump voters should be grateful to not have to deal with terrible "woke" relatives who won't tolerate their intolerance.

If these people aren't suffering, then there's no suffering to celebrate, therefore sadism can't be a viable motive.

FAFO is celebrating leaving "toxic" relatives behind? Are you sure you're being honest with yourself here? Like I said, I've noticed that revenge and retaliation is kind of a running theme with your posts (not just on this topic), and as someone who occasionally indulges in that kind of thinking myself (and has been called on it by you before), I'm often a little embarrassed by those posts later.
