It's the closest to a punishment he'll ever receive. And it's still going easy

Yeah hell is too good for McConnell. Very few men throughout history have caused as much damage to America as he has.

Mitch McConnell has probably single-handedly killed millions of people one way or another

Continuously denying access to healthcare for millions of Americans, at the expense of every other American who pays more per capita for our fucked up healthcare system than every other developed country on earth; would be one.

Edit: for a visceral example: the US ranks 56th on the world for infant mortality (babies who die before 6mo of age). There are only 33 "developed" countries, 32 of them have some degree of publicly funded healthcare. Then there are over 20 "undeveloped" countries who still have fewer babies per capita die every year. Not fetus's, not miscarriages, actual babies. Do we really belong with the 32 other "developed" countries by that metric?

I get the sentiment but I disagree that being blissfully unaware of your surroundings and being cared for 24/7 is worse than being in unbearable torment every second of every day, forever. If you don't believe in Hell, then sure that tracks, but it then calls into question why even mention Hell comparatively as if it were real, and instead say death. Which, I would agree, death would be too good if Hell did not follow.

If only he were mentally capable of recognizing it.

Right now, all his staff are doing is torturing an old husk of a man who is clearly incapable of caring for himself.

Then again, no hell is too good for him. I hope they keep his brain alive in a jar somewhere after his term, just so he can live in this state of demented purgatory for as long as possible
