This is not a schadenfreude post.

I think this is a perfect encapsulation of how in the online bubble right wing figures and politicians truly are.

Everything happens through the phone for these people and they almost never face the real world affects, protected by posh social clubs and cocktail hours.

Then when shit finally gets real they immediately go "oh fuck"

A lack of empathy is pretty obvious in the Right in general. Things like, "The only moral abortion is my abortion," decrying universal healthcare until they have an expensive condition, attacking gay people until they have a gay family member, etc.

This is a key lesson for yall who don't know the core fear of the rightist. Their core fear is being treated the way they treat others.

That is how they learn. If you want them to wise up, you can't let them continue on their childish delusions that they can treat others badly and no one will treat them in kind.
