On compassion for Republicans [View all]

I had this question put to me over on Instagram on a story about horrible pollution coming from a mine into a West Virginia community.

Sorry, they voted for their Republican controlled state government by a huge margin. They voted for Mango Mussolini by over 70 points.

But what about "compassion"? I have no compassion for Republicans.

It went away when Republicans started voting to force 12 yr old rape victims to have their rapist's baby.

I lost compassion for Republicans when Republicans went from screaming about prosecuting people in the Epstein Files to defending them once they found out their dear leader was neck deep in them.

I lost compassion for Republicans when they decided to criminalize being an immigrant in a country literally built by immigrants.

I lost compassion for Republicans when they cheered at the idea of stopping other Americans from voting simply based on the color of their skin.

I lost compassion for Republicans when they decided that genocide was acceptable as long as it was brown skinned people.

I lost compassion for Republicans when they decided that concentration camps in the US was fine as long as it was brown skinned people.

I lost compassion for Republicans when they decided that women were nothing more than maids, sex toys and "birthing vessels".

I lost compassion for Republicans when they decided their religion should be forced on everyone if they want it or not.

I am tired of their feelings or changing hearts and minds. I don't want these people anywhere near me. Republicans are hateful, nasty and vile people and I dont give a shit about them or their problems in their shitty ass state that is doing exactly what they wanted them to do.
