sinkingfeeling, when has DU
ever been a place of compassion? Find the DU threads about the deaths of Bob Hope, Ronald Reagan, and Gerald Ford, who died around the time you claim to have joined DU. They are filled with venom and hate. DU was founded on hate and continued in hate. The hatred may have waxed hotter in the OhBummer!, Trump 1.0, LIEden, and Trump 2.0 years, but DU's history is 25 years of continual hatred.
RandySF , even in the SF Bay Area there are enough Rs and conservatives that if any wanted to "exterminate" you, you would not still be posting on DU.

4. I am neither shocked nor disappointed that people have run out of empathy for suicide bombers.
And that is what Trump supporters are.
RockRaven, name one. I could name several suicide-by-police shooters with Lib/Prog views, but every time there's a mass shooting, two things are predictable: 1. DU-folk knee-jerkingly blame MAGAs, Rs, etc. before facts are known; 2. when facts do become known the shooter turns out to have Lib/Prog views or to be incapable of coherent socio-political views.

5. i'm very empathetic, but my empathy has a few not too unreasonable conditions
one of those conditions is you don't support Nazis ...
Remind me, which political party harbors and support members who publicly hate on Jewish people? Which political party labels blacks, Hispanics, etc. of the other political party as "race traitors" and phony
name of ethnic group here? Which political party supports universities discriminating against and supporting attackers of Asian People and Jewish people?

9. Nah, **** Trump voters
They voted for fascism.
Libs and Progs have ridden that epithet into the dust of meaninglessness for 6 or more decades.
Johonny, where are the concentration camps ... except for museums where FDR located his internment camps for Japanese, Italians, and Germans?

14. You'll have plenty of time in concentration camp to feel sorry for Trump supporters.
Unless they are overwhelmed not so much by hate as RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION.
They voted for rape, child sex, blackmail, money laundering AND WILL VOTE AGAIN FOR IT
usonian, are those concentration camps the ones you Stalinist thuglings plan to build for your political opponents and insufficiently Stalinist traitors? Or the concentration camps you fantasize conservatives will build?
As for "rape, child sex, blackmail, money laundering," Dems and other Progs are the ones defending illegals who did and do these. Dems and other Progs are the ones releasing domestic criminals who did/do things out to the streets to predate even more. Dems and other Progs are the ones who support Dem pols caught doing these and other criminal things. That is what the Dem pols DU-folk vote for do.

34. Some of us took the "high road" and now see people being murdered in the streets by a Stasi style secrer police
In the real world, the shooting of Renee Good was self-defense, and the shooting of Alex Pretti was, at worst, justifiable homicide, and may have been self-defense.
Also, ICE and CBP are enforcing US law by lawful means. Don't like the law they are enforcing? Ask your Dem Congress-Critters why they have never repealed that set of laws.

35. I'm not ready to give hitler 2.0 or his supporters a big wet kiss, ...
Trump 1.0 did not build concentration camps in those 4 years. Your fulfillment of Godwin's Law is impotent and disproven. While I'm speaking of Trump 1.0, ya know those Covid boosters DU-folk seem to get every 6-12 months? Guess whose Administration got Covid vaccines developed and authorized. Hint, it wasn't LIEden. Even the Novavax vaccine authorized in, IIRC, 2022, was developed and started testing during Trump 1.0.
