Shitty sentiment
Trash belongs in the bin.
Don't let schadenfreude and tribalism blind you for the reasons for disliking this person. You don't win in politics if your opponent dies from old age, you win by shifting the forces that decide elections. Cheering on the... lets see here... inescapable march of time on a human's body invites much the same onto yourself in the future. That is, don't laugh at old people deteriorating if you don't want younguns in the future to laugh at you or your grandma. It's a journey that we all take, and I feel like it should have some dignity in it.
I wish he and his family good health, and that the political structure around him fades into history.
Some people are objectively harmful to democratic countries and the principles they are built upon or even the world itself. If death is the only thing that can remove them from a position of power where they can futher harm the country and the people in it, I have absolutely no problem with seeing them on the way there. Good ridance!
If I ever get as vile as these people and negatively impact thousands if not millions of people then feel free to cheer my death.
