I feel shame as an American. I’ve been making it through the day at work, and spending about an hour each day crying when I get home. When I think about all of the people being brutalized for existing I feel so deeply sad for them. I’m also fucking terrified that LGBT people will be next because I am one of those.
I’m autistic and live in Canada. I’m terrified that eventually the nazis will conquer Canada and ruin my life. What makes me sad is that, even if I survive this travesty, a lot of others who deserve to live won’t survive
If they voted for trump the need this to happen to them, tho.
Hate to be the one to say it, fulky anticipating multiple family members getting the same Con treatment out of arrogance shortly but they cant lesrn until theyve been directly affected
But I’d say that some people absolutely deserve to be punished, and currently no one in the US is holding them accountable. The people currently running the show in America are the type to abuse every possible opening, and they enjoy watching people suffer. Their supporters also enjoy watching people (i.e. non-straight whites) in pain, and are excited to continue enabling it. As a reminder, what is currently happening is literally the platform that Trump ran on, and the right was so excited at the possibility of hurting people that they “overlooked” the fact that they were voting (a SECOND time) for a pedophilic rapist felon.
If not action is taken, they are not going to stop terrorizing people on their own accord. So, don’t kill or torture them, but I’d say they absolutely do deserve to suffer considering what they have done / allowed / hoped for.
The hard core MAGA voters don’t give a shit until it happens to them. There are so many stories about entrenched Trump districts having their local economies collapse because ICE rounded up all the brown workers in their town. They were happy to vote for Trump making excuses, “Trump doesn’t really mean that,” or, “Trump will only go after the bad ones.” Suddenly it’s, “This wasn’t what I voted for,” shocked pikachu face. Finally, there are a subset of people that once it does happen to them, will say things like, “Trump isn’t hurting the right people.” There were plenty of voters that were brown themselves, thinking they were part of the in-group. Some of these people are incredibly hateful. I can’t say that these people will deserve their comeuppance, but they absolutely need to experience it to have any hope of learning anything and adjusting their attitude and hate towards others.
None of that makes it OK for people to be subjected to torture, arbitrary imprisonment, beatings, death.
If this changes some people’s minds? Great, yeah I should fucking hope so, but I am gonna go out on a limb and state that I am not pro-crimes-against-humanity no matter who the target is
Yes, exactly, the fascists are the ones perpetrating the crimes against humanity that I am saying I do not wish to be happening to anyone, regardless of who they voted for
I’m sorry, are you in effect saying that the innocent non voting population of a town deserves to be brutalized because the voters in the town they live in are assholes? The people who voted for him are, by and large, not the ones getting snatched, being beaten, denied medical treatment and sleep, starved, and killed by ICE. They’re their neighbors and employers, maybe their friends, and occasionally their spouses.
I mean yeah, fuck those assholes, but that doesn’t mean I want them to be dragged from those summer homes and thrown into internment camps. I’m surprised that this is a controversial thing to say.

It’s so awful, I’m so sorry

What a horrible thing to say. You think anyone deserves what is happening? Fix your heart
No one deserves to be tortured and killed.

Not people, fascists.
Those need to be put down, as soon as possible, by any means possible, before they cause further harm.

Neither am I.

Where in the comment did I say anyone deserved anything?
That’s why I’m asking, because that seemed insane. What does “need” mean in this context?
Sometime the only way you grow and learn is by making mistakes and experiencing the consequences of your actions.
There are thousands for pro MAGA “Canadians” still travelling to their summer homes in US.
