Schadenfreude (/ˈʃɑːdənfrɔɪdə/; German: [ˈʃaːdənˌfʁɔʏdə] ( listen)) is pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others.[1] This word is taken from the German language. The literal English translation is ‘Harm-Joy’. It is the feeling of joy or pleasure when one sees another fail or suffer misfortune. It is also borrowed by some other languages.
Member’s of America’s Democrat Party have comported themselves in such reprehensible and disgusting a manner in their quest for political domination of America, that when one of them finds themselves being embarrassed, it becomes nearly impossible to feel anything even remotely resembling sympathy. One such example, is their incessant accusation of racism against their political opponents.
The Schadenfreude here is particularly delicious when you know the history of institutional racism in America, as in for instance, that the Klu Klux Klan was a Democrat Party organization, and that the Jim Crow Laws, were enacted by Democrats. The Democrats have been very successful in blaming the Republicans for groups like the KKK, despite the fact the KKK was in fact a Democrat Organization.
