Trumpenfreude, which I believe is a word that Don Surber coined, happens when we get a warm glow learning about people who struck out at Trump or those close to him and, instead, managed to destroy themselves. While we should feel guilty about regular schadenfreude (e.g., delighting in other people’s misery), Trumpenfreude is something to be celebrated. The latest, somewhat delayed, comeuppance for a Trump hater is The Red Hen, the restaurant that, in 2018, proudly ejected Sarah Huckabee Sanders and her family in the middle of their meal.

Moreover, a whole lot of Americans who support strong borders, individual liberty, and the other policies Trump advanced felt that if Trump staffers weren’t welcome at the Red Hen, it wasn’t their kind of restaurant. That fact, combined with the dismal Biden economy and, perhaps, the lockdowns that Democrats supported during COVID, may explain why the Red Hen is no more:
The owners of Lexington, Virginia’s Red Hen restaurant have announced that the business will shutter and a new restaurant with a new name will pop up in its place. The announcement comes several years after The Red Hen faced massive scrutiny for removing Trump Administration Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and her family from the premises in the middle of their meal after triggered left-wing employees called the restaurant’s left-wing owner, Stephanie Wilkinson, requesting that she take action to remove the family from their midst.
The people have spoken, and I can only say that it’s a gloat-worthy thing when Trumpenfreude strikes again.

Trumpenfreude :)
I'll a rib joint in Alabama out behind the railroad tracks with a broken down screen door any day.
So all they're doing is changing the name? Same bad actors, same deranged staff?
Hopefully the locals will see through this charade and keep the pressure up.
The people around Lexington will have a restaurant with a new name to boycott
Go woke. Go broke. I don’t think anyone will be fooled by a rebranded Commie Cluck either.
Commie Cluck Part Deux...?
Ignorance begets failure.
Brilliant!
GOOD!
I have a suggestion. They should call it the Red Guard.
Putting lipstick on a hen.
SOP. Folks are looking for the next new thing. They get bored easy and businesses are accommodating. Jake Tapper says changes are necessary at least every 7-10 years.
Why ? The key to ‘regular schadenfreude’ is the negative action or result is deserved and occurs to someone not liked.
We have all seen the video of Hillary being hoisted by her team into van. Perfect example of well deserved schadenfreude. No reason to feel guilty on that.
Indeed.
NOT!!!!
