    MAGA folks never care about cruelty until it affects them, then they cry for mercy and compassion. To them the damaging human consequences are either justice, religious imperative, or necessary cost - until they are the ones paying. Now they reap the fruits of their indifference or often full-on support of the suffering of others. I still feel bad for the innocent, like children or those who have opposed this malevolent chaos from the beginning.

      Yep - the GOP over the last few decades tossed away any morality and took the easiest path they could for coalition building, assembling the stupid, bigoted, gullible, and most importantly - least empathetic bunch of people. Literally tossing away conservative ideology and specifically preying on these people’s weaknesses.

        To me the one of the funnier things is these same people who whine endlessly about the oppression by political correctness getting upset about being called deplorables or plain ol’ stupid.

      No, no, they were “lied to.” We have to just sweep their cruelty under the rug because they get it now 🥺
