This isn’t just an American thing, btw — though this question was inspired by the hate tweets going around right now.
Like, on an actual psychological level, what’s going on? I can’t think of any other kind of rivalry (for lack of a better term) that would engender such a response. I’m pretty sure even the die-hardest Sox fan wouldn’t cheer a tragedy that befell Yankee Stadium.
So what is it about political rivalry that makes some people feel good to see their “enemies” suffer?
