The US was doing it anyway before Trump2.0
My dad gave me $1 to seed a lemonade stand. Trump's dad gave him billions.
Our experiences are equivalent.
Imagine comparing a genocide to a lemonade stand.
Imagine having to, because the most self-righteous, selfish people that possibly exist, opted to take "absolutr worst" over "bad"... and are still justifying it. Still lording thier moral superiority over the rest of us. Still incapable of grasping that thier self satisfaction came at a tangible cost to humans lives.
A big part of maturity, perhaps all of it, is recognizing that sometimes, you do need to degrade yourselves for others. Maybe not even to make things good for them, even just less bad.
Does it make me feel good to boil this down to an analogy like I'm talking to a 2 year old? No. It's degrading to say. I expect it's degrading to hear. But some people still don't get it.
I voted for harris.
You think genocide is as wholesome as lemonade.
