Seeing Trump and his acolytes lose so spectacularly is powerful schadenfreude for millions across the globe

Trump is still president, and we don't know where things will go from here - but sometimes it just feels good to see some terrible people have a terrible time

The last couple of days have been very bad for Donald Trump. Of course, in Trump's usual style, he is denying that the Republican loss at the midterms has anything to do with him - but we all know it does. While I fear the Democrats will not use this decisive moment to exercise some ambition and take meaningful action, the goings-on of the last couple of days have been undeniably fun to watch.

Seeing so many conservatives lose in such a spectacular way has blessed millions across the globe with powerful schadenfreude. It is a much needed moment of relief, an experience of positivity to rejuvenate our ailing nervous systems (or whatever biology does). Sometimes you just need to see some terrible people have a terrible time. For me, it's just been the icing on a cake I've been dining out on for the last couple of months: watching Trump supporters watch Trump describing other men's bodies in detail.
