        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.

        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!

          I was thinking, hell to pay? Is that like, the name of the last neighborhood left or?

          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.
