    There are plenty of people in this country that would rather die than watch someone get something they need to survive. It’s actually the strongest lever of power over Republicans other than what is directly happening to them personally right now. This is why they’ll inevitably always end up like Gollum, confused as the lava kills them, and also why they should be shamed instead of leveled with.

      Wish they would, then. Leave us to clean up the mess, we can handle the hard work they clearly can’t (or they’d be better people… self work is work!).

        For some it’s something they can grow out of, but an environment to foster that change isn’t the one we currently have. They’re also the type who would scoff at therapy, so not much chance there. I personally don’t think they should be allowed to vote without showing a capacity for empathy more than 2 steps removed from themselves.
