[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actively wish bad things for Trump supporters. [/quote]

First of all, your wishing will never make it so.

Secondly, carrying that level of bitterness will be harmful to YOU.  Whatever time and energy you futilely spend wishing ill to others is time you could spend doing positive things for your own benefit and enjoyment.  Maintaining that level of stress and negativity can have any number of physical ramifications for you (high blood pressure, headaches, indigestion, sleep problems, etc.)

Finally, we are all interconnected.  Whatever harm does befall Trump supporters will have unknown consequences for our country as a whole, and by extension, possibly yourself.  From John Donne’s, “[i]Ask not[/i] (never send to know) for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee”, to the more modern concept of the butterfly effect, there seems to be an underlying truth that the complex web that surrounds and encompasses us can be affected in countless unknown ways by the smallest and most remote changes.  The Trump supporter that you wish ill towards might be your biggest customer that makes the difference between your business flourishing and failing, the firefighter that saves your house from burning down, or the Alzheimer’s researcher who saves you from losing your mind - if they manage to escape the bad things you wish them.
