[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure, that’s reasonable. Plenty of people getting exactly what they voted for, and actively cheering policies harmful to black and brown people. They can rot.

But so much collateral damage to those who didn’t vote for any of this. Lots of sympathy for them.[/quote]

+1 I don't even feel like donating any more. I don't want any of it to go to people who wanted this. I donate to animal related causes now.[/quote]

You’re disgusting! People who didn’t vote for this are suffering too!  You’d rather save animals than humans, including children, who obviously cannot vote [/quote]

I wouldn't call the PP disgusting but their attitude definitely is.

Y'all are engaging in nihilism. It's weak, and you need to buck up. Ideally, the next couple elections repudiate the current BS and we pull out of this tailspin here. But if they don't, things are about to get worse, and trust me when I tell you that abandoning your humanity and deciding nothing matters is not going to help you survive it.

It's okay if your focus is more on immediate community, but you should be thinking about other people. Including, yes, people who voted for Trump or didn't vote at all. People do dumb stuff. Those individuals have far less culpability than Trump, people like Elon Musk, and powerful enablers in the GOP. If you punish the powerless individuals who made dumb choices at the voting booth out of spite, we will lose the opportunity to hold accountable the actual powerful people who are doing this. Is that what you want? To just lose the country to these oligarchs because you're so mad at some plumber in Tennessee for voting Trump that you cheer his death because he can no longer afford diabetes meds without healthcare subsidies? Or that you're okay with his daughter going without well child visits or glasses? Really?

Grow up.[/quote]

I assume that PP still pays taxes. And presumably votes Dem in favor of all the policies you mentioned.

Philanthropy is a personal choice and no specific cause is entitled to it.[/quote]
