MAGA folks never care about cruelty until it affects them, then they cry for mercy and compassion. To them the damaging human consequences are either justice, religious imperative, or necessary cost - until they are the ones paying. Now they reap the fruits of their indifference or often full-on support of the suffering of others. I still feel bad for the innocent, like children or those who have opposed this malevolent chaos from the beginning.
Not rethinking because it’s unethical to begin with and poorly executed on top of that. Rethinking because punishing their scapegoats is proving to be expensive and inconvenient.
As much as I don’t want regular people to suffer, this is like hearing about someone who thought everyone who didn’t drink bleach was stupid and they were going to prove something by downing it. At no point was that coin a good idea for anyone except the ones who got on early and guessed the right time to dump it, and that information was very freely available.
I’d say maybe losing a lot of their own money will finally teach people not to trust Trump, but a) we are so far past the point of trust based on logic and facts that I doubt it and b) it’s too late anyways, they’ve already given him monarch levels of power and money. Plus Trump will probably blame the crash on malicious immigrants blatantly and black women slyly (DEI) and his base will lap it up.
Threaten this, finger-wag that, “concerned” legal expert opinions… As a Canadian looking in, your “opposition” leaders better start getting results quickly because Trump’s administration is demolishing your country’s organizations and checks/balances VERY quickly. If official opposition through established means doesn’t deliver wins in the near future I’m worried about what happens when half your population loses faith in legal ways of resisting. I don’t want to see either a civil war or an unchecked dictatorship a few hundred kilometers south of me.
Israel is not Jewish people.
That’s exactly what I said, and I said it because it’s necessary to remind people of that. Antisemitism is absolutely on the rise, so the distinction matters to me.
Israel claims that the 27 hospitals and 12 other health facilities they’ve bombed hid Hamas. Rape, murder, torture, hiding behind civilians, illegally abusing things like medical immunity…every accusation is a confession. What a wretched country. And to be clear: I don’t mean all Jews - just the ones perpetrating this ethnic cleansing and their allies whether Jewish or not. Couldn’t care less about where they were born or their genetics, just what they’re doing in full view.
Traitors one and all and history will remember them as such. I’m Canadian and as angry as I am about the huge mess happening between my country and the USA, I’m even angrier about Ukraine. At least Canadians aren’t being killed or having tens of thousands of our children stolen away. I cannot understand the eagerness with which MAGA has embraced Putin. Looking at history until now, I never thought siding with a dictatorial warmongering Russia would be a core Republican value.
