white men + guns = sky high murder rates in red states.

F’ing DUH.

Why should I be persuaded to give the slightest F’ that white men in red states are killing each other? This is a BAD thing? Explain to me how my life is improved because an additional trump voter in some red state is alive rather than having been murdered by one of his peers?

Seriously, how does that benefit me? A WOC in a blue state. How does having more white men around in a place I don’t live help me? Please - explain.[/quote]

You are taking the same position as white rural Americans who say "why should I give the slightest F that black men in blue states are killing each other? How is that a BAD thing? How is my life improved by some additional Biden voter in some blue state being alive rather than having been murdered by one of his peers? How does having more black men around benefit me?"

Do you seriously not see the problem with this thinking?

That’s… pretty much what Republicans say about Black people killing each other. The only time they pretend to care about it is when they want to damage Democratic leaders.

And I believe there’s a rather famous phrase espousing the same, something along the lines of, “the only good ____ is a dead _____.” So that plus the annoying little fact that it was White men who enslaved Black people and White people who lynched them and enforced segregation (with assists from White ladies, I don’t want to forget our contribution to Black misery) and now it’s White Republicans who enforce white supremacy means the WOC is having what I think most people would call a rational response.

Most people dont think in these terms at all. [/quote]
