Horrific? A protest? People shouting to get attention and be heard is horrific?
Tell me you've led the most privileged of lives without telling me. What a completely unrelatable train wreck. You've got conservatives who've seen combine accidents and IEDs and child soldiers — the true horrors of the world. Let's see what their response is.
Crickets.
I see.
It was only "horrific" because it happened in a church. The Administration is trying to make it into a hate crime against Christians. But, the protest took place because the pastor is supposedly an ICE director:

Fascists shouldn't get to hide behind a pulpit.
And somehow, I get the feeling this DOiJ would defend the first amendment rights of the God Gats F*gs church the next time they decide to protest the funeral service of a gay victim of hate crime. Not only that, but I get the feeling this DOiJ would make it a crime to drown them out or block the view of their spectacle from the funeral.
Welcome to fascism! Enjoy your stay!
A gentle reminder that 2/3rds of the voting population voted for this.
Not even 2/3rds of the voting population voted. The turnout was 64% of eligible voters. Trump won the popular vote with 49.8% of the votes. That's about 32% of eligible voters that voted for this.
You and your numbers wizardry! Witchcraft!
The people who didn't vote aren't some magical absolution of responsibility. They were either okay with this or didn't care either way, and apathy doesn't count in the "good" pile. I'm an American and want to find a way to justify defending the US too, but this particular argument doesn't hold any water. I could JUST as easily claim they all would've voted for Trump and they didn't show up because they figured he had it in the bag.
I mean... in a sense I kind of agree. Voter apathy largely allows people like Trump to win elections. On the other hand, 64% turnout is among record highs, even for a US presidential election, which traditionally draw the highest voter turnout. There are always people that don't vote. I don't assume that they all don't care or are okay with the results. There are plenty of people who aren't able to vote for a variety of reasons. Some of them because of economic or health limitations. Some of them due to outright voter suppression activity.
If you don't vote you voted for this
Not even close to 2/3 trolling rage baiter.
1/3rd voted for Trump.
1/3rd didn't vote.
I'm no math major, but...
For the longest time half the population didn't vote. In 2020 I think the population that did vote went way up in percent. That said you seem to be spending a lot of energy blaming the voters that did not perpetually vote for a ever declining Democratic party that we knew could not win elections as they are. We knew what the electorate was, and you Forrest your week corporatist cunt establishment Democrats and they let you to blame everybody else and ignore the fact that they are running a doomed to fail strategy. You have nothing to say about that? I'm raising my voice in the last part there.
Yeah, but what choice did they have? Did you seriously expect them to vote for a lady?
It threatens their narrative. What could be more horrific?
Yeah the scene was horrific. Meanwhile, executing innocent people? A-OK
