    Let me rephrase: one of them is willing to let me and my friends die because they’re more interested in making money than providing for our needs, and one of them wants to shoot us in the fucking heads for being queer. But yeah the ones who hate us for being queer aren’t actually worse than the ones who simply don’t care about us

    They also want to shoot you in the head for not being white. But yeah, no worse than the ones who simply don’t care about your wellbeing. In fact, the latter deserves even more of your ire, for some reason

      me and my friends die

      “Sure, they may be committing a modern Holocaust, but what about MEEEEEEE”

      Western liberals are the most self centred people alive, you literally don’t see foreigners as real people.

      Nice ahistorical analogy, but the democrats have proven very capable of literally killing people abroad for the crime of being brown and desiring autonomy, as well as turning a blind eye when cops and the national security apparatus murder people on a whim at home. So forgive me for not seeing them as polar opposites.

      One willing to do the bad thing while the other not willing to do anything about it (and resistant towards any change) is just voting between the Uvalde school shooter and the uvalde cops that prevented parents from going in and saving their children.
