One of a tiny handful of people with dementia to genuinely have that shit coming. For most people, it's an absolute tragedy. For him, it feels like perfectly served divine punishment.
The roles of this divine comedy have been cast in such a way that I am almost never abel to prevent tragedy, but I cain occasionally push someone's eternal punishment ever so slightly into their material reality while they still linger on earth.
Some call this karma. Considering that karma is its own very distinct and separate mechanism, I prefer to acknowledge my labour in the matter.
Ronald Reagan built a societal death machine that he gleefully fed over three generations into. People of Color lost entire families to the prison industrial complex and CIA drug epidemics. The queer community lost countless voices into an abyss that devoured T-cells and souls. Countries upon countries lost their Sankaras and Rosas and Kropotkins before they could even pick up a rifle or a pen.
I was powerless to stop any of that, but I could at least take away his ability to remember the pride and satisfaction he felt for his genocides.
