Comment on Senate Republican leader defends Musk’s efforts as a ‘scrub’ of federal government

  When have I ever celebated “suffering”?

  You said: “I will never EVER vote for a Democrat. I would rather watch the world burn” and “You deserve Trump. And I will fucking laugh about it every single day.” You’re explicitly celebrating policies that cause harm because they upset people you don’t like.

  But it’s your OPINION. Some don’t agree with you and they have their own moral rightness.

  No, it’s not just opinion that removing healthcare causes suffering. It’s not just opinion that cutting food assistance increases hunger. These are measurable outcomes with real human consequences. When people lose access to insulin and die, that’s not a difference of opinion, it’s preventable tragedy.

  This “everything is just an opinion” stance is a way to avoid engaging with the actual human impacts of policies. It’s a cop-out that lets you ignore the consequences of what you support.

  Like I said, you gone and keep posting your memes. I’ll keep posting links to news articles. And we’ll see who wins next election.

  And we’re back to treating politics like a sport rather than something that determines whether people live or die. You’ve made it abundantly clear that “winning” matters more to you than the welfare of your fellow citizens.

  Post whatever you want. But don’t pretend your motivation is anything other than tribal identity and spite.

    That’s not “celebrating” suffering. lol

    I, and many others, don’t think these policies cause harm. Do you think every person that voted for Trump celebrates suffering?! And if so, so the majority of the voting public, celebrates suffering?! lol

    Post whatever you want. But don’t pretend your motivation is anything other than tribal identity and spite.

    Says the guy who wants to stifle spaces for conservatives so you can turn them into mocking and memes. You don’t want to hear opposing opinions. You want to mock and meme. So do that. How did it work out for ya all the last election?
