I have a materialistic view of karma: if you do something shitty, you make the world a slightly shittier place, and thus increase the chance of something shitty happening to you. This chance is further enhanced by the fact that people are typically less bothered by shitty things happening to shitty people, and shitty people are themselves often more likely to be shitty towards other shitty people, perhaps in the belief that this in some way mitigates their own shittiness.
Who ever said that merely being a politician doesn’t keep you out of jail.
If we filled our jails with actually violent people, we wouldn’t have room for all the drug dealers and poor people.

Why do you automatically assume that he is a Republican? The article says nothing about what party he belongs to. Did you even bother to google him before you jumped to your biased, bigoted conclusion? That is hurtful and prejudiced. Shame!!!
(Just joking. Of course he’s a Republican.)

My definition of karma is a little different, and doesn’t actually have much to do with human, qualitative value judgements. Rather, karma is simply the influence one’s actions and intentions in the universe have in terms of leading to a certain set of results. Karma is action, and reaction. It is a physical property of the world we inhabit, in no way incompatible with the understanding that we live in a quantized, digital reality, which both is made of and by consciousness, in a manner of speaking. But I digress…
