I don't think many people are hoping Trump snaps and literally kills his supporters, but many are hoping to see them experience some of the hurt they've already caused others with their votes. Right now, these assholes feel like they've "gotten away" with something. They feel like they've won. I look forward to them realizing there are consequences in burning down your house to spite some of your housemates.

That said, would I feel terribly bad for them if Trump literally killed some of them? I mean, they had 2 years to see who he was and voted for a volatile madman anyway. They would be the last group of people on my list of people I felt sorry for.
