I definitely have felt the same misgivings about jeering about Trumps status as a felon, not because I care about Trump (if I posted the things I felt should happen to Trump Id surely be banned in a heartbeat) but because holding up that attitude towards felons is harmful to those felons who are just trying to get their lives back together and be productive members of society. Like we are still fighting for the right of felons to be able to vote in some states, and some self-proclaimed progressives are throwing those same movements and people under the bus so they can play respectability politics.

I dont feel strongly enough about this to bother posting in any of the topics about it, or to bother making a topic of my own, but it doesnt sit right with me. Its the same feeling I get when people cheer about bad things happening in red states because they deserve it for being under Republican control.

Think about it this way my guy; it's not celebrating that he's being labeled a "bad guy" so we can feel superior to him. It's celebrating that he's seeing consequences for his actions, that the rule of law is being applied fairly.
