Protecting Trump’s enemies from prosecution just reinforces the idea of politics as retribution. Instead, Democrats should be defending his most vulnerable targets.

    cool. you go on tour to the safe parts of our country and walk around with all the privilege of someone who feels safe doing so. meanwhile our marginalized people get beat to death by cops with no accountability, or else executed for crimes they provably didn’t commit, or simply die of exposure from not having housing or enough money for healthcare, and you presume to know the motives of the people who feel emboldened by the admin. with this entitlement, you feel free to talk down to someone who walks around in these streets and has lost friends and loved ones in the blood soaked machinery of our system of violence about how it’s all in our heads.

    i just say all this in hopes that someone sees what you’re saying and sees this response and questions how authoritative your position is. i don’t think you can be woken up to the truth. you’re too far down a propaganda rabbit hole. i just don’t want your bullshit left unchallenged because the prevalence of your brand of ignorance is getting me and my friends killed.

      Yeah and Canada is full of dark shit too. That’s why I think it’s ridiculous that people think they can flee the US to here and call themselves refugees. It’s just another side of the exact same coin.

      You cite free healthcare. Do you even understand how many people are dying in Canada due to not receiving any care at all? The gov introduced the MAID program because it’s easier to just let people kill themselves than it is to actually address the non existent healthcare system.

      And do you understand how many people are dying on the streets here due to an intentional lack of housing?

      I can go on and on. But sure yeah, come here and enjoy freezing on the streets I guess. At least you will be accepted as a gay person while you freeze I guess.

      simply die of exposure from not having housing or enough money for healthcare

      Like this is literally the canadian experience right now lmao
