I had an impulse to use this word - Schadenfreude - I do not know why.  I feel Tweety has NO EMPATHY NERVE IN HIS BODY, MAYBE THAT IS WHY I USE THIS WORD. 

Maybe hearing from Tweety the Twit every day makes me feel bad.  He is not a nice person, not a good man, and not adult acting.

Examples: Puerto Rico, Black Lives Matter, transvestites, gays, Palestinians, people  [not the leadership] in North Korea, refugees from Syria, Yemen, North Africa, Latinas, women, the poor,  

comes in many forms.  With Trump elected.

"5 Reasons Why America Will Not Collapse Like the Roman Empire"
by Paul Ratner       February 12, 2017

http://bigthink.com/paul-ratner/5-reasons-why-america-will-not-fall-like-the-roman-empire

".  .  .  while the U.S. is the world's only current superpower, pronouncements of its Rome-like fall are greatly exaggerated and not entirely appropriate.

Here's why:

.  .  .  1. Political Instability Is Here but the U.S. Is Still a Republic.

.  .  .  2. The Economy Needs Work but Is in No Danger of Collapse 

.  .  .  3. The Military Situation Is Vastly Different

.  .  .  4. U.S. Is Not in a Cultural and Social Decline 

.  .  .  5. Technology, Not Politics Will Transform the U.S. (And the World)"

I hope these five things are what count most in keeping our democracy.
