I just read a quote on Reddit in a response by a random person that is hitting me like a ton of bricks.

22. This is like "History will not be kind to so and so...", once we are dead we don't care what happens because we don't

know what is happening, and that is why I laugh when people say "History will not be kind to Mitch McConnell, or trump, or any of the criminals in the republican party.", if they don't care while they are alive, does anyone think they will care when they are dead? They are not in this World to build a legacy, good people do want a legacy, but crooks like those republicans we are dealing with care about today, the now, they are not thinking about what people will say about them when they are dead, least of all if they are going to get a medal for being crooks.

I don't want to minimize the thought, it is true but it won't move anyone on the bad side. We must understand that the "criminal mind" thinks and works different, they don't care. I am always reminded of the criminal, many years ago, who kidnapped a 12-year-old girl from her house, the day of her birthday, raped her, choked her to death, threw her body in some bushes, then two hours later was found in a bar having beers with "friends" and a jolly good time...the criminal mind does not have room for empathy, for caring, and least of all, for consequences or what history will say about them. Does anyone here believe trump cares about what history will say about him? I don't know that the buffoon has the capacity to think one day ahead, and least of all, have good thought in his head, he is a criminal all the way through, so he thinks like a criminal.

One last thing, when we begin to understand that the criminal mind works different, doesn't care about anything but their own benefits, we will stop hoping for change and instead start fighting hard to get these crooks out of power, electing people like AOC, and other new progressives who can change things for the better. republicans have made a campaign against Progressives, but their best republican president, Theodore Roosevelt, was a Progressive, today's republicans just want to be dictators, nothing else.
