Schadenfreude is taking pleasure in someone else’s misfortune.  Fremdschämen is a new word I learned which means being embarrassed because someone else did something embarrassing.  It’s like second-hand embarrassment.

That’s how I felt watching this video on social media put out by congressional Democrats.  The White House issued a response video.  The leaders of the Democratic Party have gone full-retard.

 

I put the two videos side-by-side for comparison.

After 25 year as a public school teacher, I’ve worked with plenty of Democrats who are smart and congenial people.  I am embarrassed that their team put this out.

Perhaps the Democratic Party really is nothing more than the anti-Trump party.  Trump wouldn’t issue a video like theirs in a million years.
