Are we allowed to express some schadenfreude?

No, that would be hateful.

Only Democrats are allowed to experience moments of joy in others’ misery.

Then it’s called “intolerance for intolerance”. In other words tolerance.

Don’t be a stupid hick; learn to bow to your new leftist overlords.

With 5,000 watt megaphones from the tallest buildings.

Schadenfreude may be a lower Psycohologial level form of sadistic personality disorder as described in DSM-III-R and as such a mental health issue covered under Obamacare. So yes you are allowed to express schadenfreude and in fact may be able to get subsidized care for it.

DSM-III-R criteria for sadistic personality disorder. The third revised edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III-R; American Psychiatric Association, 1987) included a now-defunct diagnosis for sadistic personality disorder, which describes an enduring and maladaptive pattern of dominating and abusing others with cruel, humiliating, or aggressive behavior (Millon, Grossman, Millon, Meagher, & Ramnath, 2004). Although it was removed in subsequent editions—partially due to political concerns over a male diagnostic bias and its potential to be used as a defense in domestic violence cases—many clinical practitioners still believe in the validity of such a diagnosis (Meloy, 1997). As one psychiatrist put it, “Sadistic personality disorder: not in the DSM, but still in the USA” (Meloy, 1997, p. 631).

Probably not. The republicrats will find some way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
