Anyone with even a glancing familiarity with the Bible knows that we are to pray for our leaders (1 Thessalonians 5:25) and certainly pray, and work for, the prosperity of our communities (Jeremiah 29:7).

Who are we, and what have we become when we pray for, and hope for, the failure of our leaders? If we do, we are actively and deliberately pursuing our own destruction.
