In reply to the discussion: DU has certainly changed. Folks no longer seem to value empathy nor compassion here and have become as [View all]FHRRK
(1,400 posts)And I applaud the change.
Way too much defense of certain officials in the past decade. Garland along with Dem pols who enable the fascist take over.
To your specific complaint, didnt read the article, read the thread.
Ponder this, what is going to happen to all the detention centers once most are deported? Private companies kicking money back to Repubs, again what do you think will happen? I have a damn good idea what will happen if we dont fight back hard,
Look at Minneapolis, residents having to fight their own govt for basic Constitutional Rights. I am damn sure not going to condemn anyone in a fight of good versus evil that makes a split decision. With that ones last words were Im not mad bro. The other was are you O.K? Pretty easy to figure out who is good.
So Pretti kicked out a tail light, some DUers show no compassion. So damn what! There has been a constant barrage from The Orange Shitstain and his supporters. I am damn sure not going to condemn anyone for returning 1/100th of the hate.
As for Fonzi, you know what, a decade ago I likely would have had some compassion. Today, not one damn bit, unless he was mentally impaired he has no excuse for supporting Trump unless he is completely ignorant and lacks morals.
People killed by the fascists, kids being pulled from parents, imprisoned, abused. People who migrated here to feed their families. Great Americans and DUers, teachers, administrators, and others who receive no extra compensation for doing what is right, the list is long. Those have earned compassion.
With that, when I and many others get down to someone like Fonzi,
zero fucks left to give.
Currently we are in triage mode, and unfortunately, if someone supports the person who created the shit show, well they are going to eat some shit while others need care. Being kinder to them sounds great, but is unrealistic.
