The thing is, I doubt that justice really exists, so schadenfreude is probably the best I can hope for. I simply can't see premies suddenly realising they have been duped and turning against him any more than I can see the Maga-hats doing it. People will hang on very tightly to their beliefs, like an overcoat, and the more the wind blows against them, the tighter they hang on. Supposedly the sun can get them to take their coats (beliefs) off, but where is the sun, or what is it? The truth? People all seem to have their own truths these days, so no matter what you reality you show them, they want their own.  No, I am too pessimistic to belief that anyone truly gets what they deserve. It doesn't stop me from trying to be good, but it prevents me from expecting good to triumph over evil in the short term. My one ray of hope is that if Hitler was able to lose the war and be reviled (but not by ALL his followers), then maybe there is some kind of justice in the world. Just not total justice, or he would have had to face a trial and eventual execution. But maybe just a smidgen of justice? We can always wait and hope to hear something that shows the triumph of good over evil. Hope is hard to kill. Modified by Aquinas at Tue, Jan 09, 2024, 18:27:06
