I wouldn't gloat over this one, because a huge number of people who didn't vote for it will also face the same consequences and many of them will suffer and/or die because they depend on social security for their main or sole income.
Nothing to be done at this point, all we have left is watching leopards eat faces. They wanted this damage. They wanted to hurt people they disagreed with. So yeah, we should feel schadenfreude or gloat when they shoot themselves in the foot because they were going to do this to others anyway. The math says that’s all we get. We shouldn’t be glad that they succeeded in accomplishing any aspects of their talibangelical manifesto of Project 2025 at all, but their willing support of an inept authoritarian and their whining that they get the same treatment should not be given a pass.
They are casualties of war and there will be many more if we don’t figure this out.
