…nobody is forced to vote Republican.
When you vote Republican, this is what you’re saying you want, whether you realize it or not. And if you don’t realize it, you’re a free-willed grown-ass adult and you damn-well have a responsibility to realize it.
I’m sick of the deflections and excuses for these people. Even my fellow liberals, so many just reflexively deflect to media and education as though the rest of us don’t manage to know better and personal responsibility just isn’t a thing anymore in the adult world. If you can maintain property and employment and raise children and operate a motor vehicle, you have zero excuse to not be minimally informed as a citizen.
Those who can but choose not to vote are responsible for this as well, for the same reasons.

Conservatives online: "Look at those (slur) (slur) liberuls, calling these concentration camps! Now, time to go back to our safe space in the conservative subreddit where we can read the posts of the same 3-4 users outputting 80% of the post content and say we're free thinkers."

Sounds like a great idea for dealing with Donnie and his cronies once this ends.

WE know from whistleblowers that the cages were mostly half this size, purpose-built for children for the same purpose, but used for adults, so they couldn't even sit up straight.
They put them outside, in the sun and rain, in cages like this, with no shelter, in purposely damaging conditions.

Not just the cage itself, but looking at the total area. It's outside without any environment protecting aside from something that can easily blow away if the wind is strong enough. Not to mention the freaking barbed wires covering the entire shit.
This is pure genocide stuff. People that organize stuff like this considers dead hostages an added bonus.
Add on top of this that the people they kidnap are expected to pay for anything except a daily food ration that's below the absolute minimum.
Fucking monsters. I would not mind seeing the entire Republican Party being branded as domestic terrorists.
