Schadenfreude(r)

“Schadenfreude” was my “word of the day” today. When I read the definition, I immediately thought about the Democratic Party, specifically the Democratic politicians. Before divulging the definition of “schadenfreude,” I do not want anyone to think that what I am about to say refers to all of those who consider themselves Democrats . . . it does not, but it does appear to be apropos to leftist Democrats. (I am sure that there are many Democrats to whom this noun does not apply, but it’s just that sometimes I have difficulty immediately identifying them.)
“Schadenfreude” is a noun that means: “satisfaction or pleasure felt at someone else’s misfortune.” (And to go on record right from the git-go, “No, I could not initially pronounce this word!”) Obviously, my immediate connection is to the Democratic Senators who appear to be feeling immense “satisfaction or pleasure at someone else’s misfortune,” namely Judge Brett Kavanaugh. The reason for their posturing on this matter is so obviously political that it is insulting that they think that us ordinary folk do not see through their charade. Schadenfreuders!
Apparently one of the reasons that the Democrat Senators oppose him is that they fear his views on abortion. BTW: Who suffers from abortions? Duh, it’s the unborn fetus . . . the unborn fetus that may even have a recognizable heartbeat! Do those politicians who support abortion feel “satisfaction or pleasure at someone else’s misfortune?” . . . namely the misfortune of the fetus. No matter what your political leanings, stop and think about that for a second. Would you agree that with regard to abortion, the Democrats are schadenfreuders?
This term is not limited to politicians, but can also be applied to liberal non-politicians in Washington. For example, on  the first day of the present cases before the Supreme Court, liberal Justice Ginsberg appeared to be “pooh-poohing” a potential $33 million loss for a family on their property’s value because of a frog! Schadenfreuder?
 
Are there any other examples of the word association of “schadenfreude” not associated with national Democratic politicians? (“Is the Pope a Catholic?”) The other obvious present day example, here in California, is the recently passed Democratic gas tax that supposedly will pay for infrastructure. (According to a recent article in The American Spectator, “California does not have enough money to improve our infrastructure or anything else because it spends far above market wages for its government employees. No wonder California road costs are around 2.5 times higher than the national average.”)
Who will end up paying this tax that will cost the typical family of four $779.28 more per year in taxes? Will it be the elites that own Teslas? “No!” Will it be the more affluent that can can afford other electric cars or hybrids? “Hardly!” Are the California Democratic politicians aware of this? “Absolutely!” Schadenfreuders!
I can hardly wait until my word of the day comes tomorrow!
