The good news is you DON'T need to wish harm on him in order to think he sucks and needs to go away. Yes, he sucks, but that's irrelevant to his health. Celebrating the declining health of somebody because we don't like them is a big line to cross on the path to becoming a callous ghoul. We need to be better than that.
If social media was around in the 1940's I'm fairly sure I would not have lamented the declining health of Hitler. "He's a man with a family! I'm sure he is scared and just wants to feel better."
No thanks. Mitch McConnell spent his career enriching himself and hurting others. I don't feel bad for him.
