At this very moment I am likely a lot of things, but at the top of the list is mad. Very, very mad. I don't have words for this anymore or the patience to debate the intricacies of the broken system that has gotten us here. I am just viscerally, exceptionally, mad. Something will change.

You’ve been emotionally played by the media if you are genuinely mad about this. Only surface level emotional manipulation makes sense to explain such a reaction.

A hostile dictator that caused lots of suffering to his people was removed from power. I don't think mad is the right sentiment but to each his own.

Oof - imagine if the rest of the world decided to abduct the US president using the same argument - and oh yeah, Americans better be grateful.

To be analogous, hundreds of US civilians would be murdered leading up to the events and the US itself would be bombed to aid the abduction.
