    Well, this is what the people in Dearborn voted for.

    They get to watch the carpet bombing of Gaza.

    Or he’ll drop a nuke. Because that’s the hardest anyone has been hit in our long and storied history.

      This is what the people in Dearborn voted for—along with the people of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, and others.

      Across the board, almost every category trended rightward (edit: by way of staying home, you know what I mean) since the last election. Ask yourself: why is your first instinct to attack the tiny minority in Michigan who have been treated as subhuman for months? They’ve been held in constant limbo while their families are killed, ignored as they plea for mercy from a government that continually sinks deeper into racism and hatred.

      If I saw my friends and family being treated like irrational animals, I might not be surprised to feel the urge to act irrationally.

      You’re not even wrong about your statements, but … have some damn empathy.

        It didn’t trend rightward.

        Democrats stayed home just like they did in 2016.

        They were convinced through our republican controlled media that voting wasn’t worth the effort.

        So now my empathy isn’t worth their’s. I hope all 88 million who stayed home on election day have a completely hellish next 2 years. I’m circling my wagons right here at home and watching those apathetic fuckers learn a major lesson.

        It’s probably the only way they will learn to pay attention. Or they will die from some weird ass disease.

        Happy Holidays!

          It’s not “empathy” if it’s part of some imagined negotiation in your mind.

      Oh no! The carpet bombing of Gaza! Would hate to see that when Biden is out of office! Trump is going to hit the 25% of the remaining buildings!

        Thank you so much for this comment! It’s allowed me to add you to my block list so that I never have to hear such incredibly idiotic reductionism again. Really, thank you.

          It was about as nuanced as the comment it was in reaponse to and full of a lot more reality than the sorry mods here will acknowledge.
