The comment that sparked this line of discussion was:
“I am all for it… but I wish people would get this passionate about healthcare, the environment, education, housing, and all the other things that are suffering in our society.”
Not deflection, not discouraging the pursuit of this issue, just wishing for a better world where we could get this kind of traction on issues that actually materially affect most people.
“… expecting them to care about others is a losing game.”
Ignoring the fact that many of them are personally impacted by the issues mentioned, I agree, but someone taking a moment to mourn a better world that could have been is pretty normal and human, and just doesn’t seem to warrant the backlash in this thread.
I’m glad that the MAGAs finally found something that made them start to question if they’re being conned, and I relish seeing so many people pouring gas on that fire. But I also agree that it would have been nice if it could have been something more impactful that sparked that reaction.
You’re right, that is the comment that is at the top of this thread. You responded to my response to a different comment made by a different person, though.
The person I responded to, again not the one at the tippy-top of the thread, is saying that the pedo ring shouldn’t be treated with much of a high priority despite absolutely being some top-tier evil shit. If the country pulls off actually bringing people down because of it, those are largely the same people causing a lot of the environmental and healthcare issues. If they really let this momentum go they maybe even be able to begin the long trek towards making sure that people know exactly who conservatives work for and who they’re happy to knowingly support. This is rightfully eroding people’s trust in a political party bent on hurting as many people as possible.
It’s all tied together. I’d say it’s obvious, but you couldn’t even figure out who I was directly responding to so maybe connecting dots isn’t some people’s strong suit.
