    If I saw a wrecked car with a maga bumper sticker, then I didn’t see a wrecked car ;)

    I want their factional fascist ideology to go away too, but if this is sincere, then the red-hat-blue-hat hate politics of MAGA has already won. And that’s sad indeed.

    Edit: Getting labeled and flamed for advocating against the hypothetical of letting a random human being burn to death solely based on “bumper sticker” as justification. This world is friggin wild. Lol

        LOL maybe?

        But at the time it felt like the most expedient way of criticizing the mentality of

        “Two sides agreeing it’s okay to commit increasingly heinous violence and horrors on each other out of inflated sense of moral superiority.”

      Oh fuck off. Republicans will never stop and you’re a liberal fascist yourself with your sentiment here.

        Sorry but you’re gonna run out of friends pretty quick with that attitude, because eventually you’ll all be attacking and labeling each other for your views falling short of some arbitrary perfection.

        The above statement was joking about letting a random idiot who posed no threat die horrifically because of a label. If that’s the monsters we’re willing to become, then so much for the empathy we claim to champion.

        It’s simply a statement that didn’t need to be made.

        I recall everyone being justifiably disgusted at fascist muppets cheering on the murders of their political opponents by unhinged psychopaths drunk off their rhetoric.

        But it’s okay when we do it? That’s MAGA shit. That’s tankie shit. That kind of tribalism is the domain of the worst kinds of assholes.

        We must defend ourselves, fight fascists, but if we lose our humanity in the process and get off to thoughts of our dead neighbors over stupidity, then what’s the friggin point anymore?

        Anyway, hope you’re doing alright today. Stay safe out there.
