Well seeing as a mod removed the comment and also I was being a gremlin about it, don't actually believe it "for real"--shit is stressful, we need to blow off steam sometimes, it's okay to mindfully indulge in a little personal amusement from time to time, but it has to be mindful and I didn't state it mindfully enough.
If spite motivates me to do the right thing (defeat trump, kill the Republican party's organization and viability for the future, force the Democrat party to split to fill the void, repeat while continuously purging chuds from their positions of office while promoting progressives and socialists) then I will embrace spite. But even then, I have to keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't change the actual goal.
Furthermore, if you can find a motivation better for you than spite, it's highly advisable. The difference between poison and medicine is both the dosage and whether the disease it's killing is worse. Make no mistake, I'm pretty fucking diseased >_> but I refuse to stop existing just for the sake of others' comfort.
Be better than me
