…ok, just to be clear…I know we’re supposed to have empathy for everyone, even those we don’t agree with…but are we SERIOUSLY supposed to feel sorry for these two when trump cuts social security, or medicare, or retirement funds, or whatever the fuck his next thing is? Are we REALLY supposed to feel bad for these assholes when the racist pedophile fascist that THEY elected comes back to bite them in the ass?
Because I’m at a point where I’ve begun to not even see these people as “people”. I see them as victims of brain rot, and targeted misinformation, and a decades long campaign to divide the people.
The only problem is, I could hVe a discussion in 2006 with a Bush supporter. I could agree to dissgree. I could still see them as people.
This? This is like if Hitler were in power, and people reacted by saying “oh, well, if Hitler wants to imprison and murder jews by the millions, I’m all for it. I’m sure he has his reasons.”
If these people want to support trump, today, in 2026, I can’t fall back and say that they’re still people. I can’t say they’re just misinformed. At this point they are essentially nazi supporters. At this point MAGA and NAZI are interchangable.
I cannot believe we’re living in a world thats rotted so far, that people are accepting this.
They’ve been subject to dehumanizing propaganda for a long time, so they see the victims in these hypotheticals as subhuman and deserving of violence to maintain order. It’s what conservative propaganda is designed to do.
You don’t need to feel sorry for these people when they lose their benefits, but you do need to exercise restraint and not dehumanize them in retaliation. Not for them, but for the future. Cycles of violence are broken by making a world order focused on restorative justice, not by endless retaliation.
You can still have empathy. You can still feel bad for them. But sometimes, even if you feel bad, the answer that is best for most is removing them from society.
If you have three kids, and one won’t stop biting the others, you don’t stop loving them. But you do have to separate them so they don’t harm others.
These people can burn. I hope whatever befalls them is a slow, agonizing death. They proactively cause harm to other people and rejoice about it. I don’t care if they get strung up and given one paper cut every 15 seconds until they bleed out, fuck them. And, yes, I realize the irony - but I could still write a 20 page paper on how their death is a net positive for the world and how the victims of their actions is a net negative.

😭🫂 you & me both.
It has come to unyielding loyalty to an abuser.
If there is a nonviolent way to deal with this, lmk. They are shooting us in the face rn in Minnesota.
