Ok so everyone is entitled to basic rights, but if you're a Trump voter my sympathy gets turned way the fuck down.

If I'm reading the article correctly, the guy suffers from high blood pressure and as such he should avoid excessive stress. He asked for medical treatment but when told that he would be under guard at the hospital and then returned to detention for questioning after he recovered he declined treatment.

I'm not a doctor but my understanding of high blood pressure as a chronic illness is that it's a long term game. High pressure on your arteries and heart over many years increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. It's less relevant as a short term problem.

To point out the obvious, this guy was very happy for Trump to be mean to everyone else, just didn't think he was included.

This isn't always the case. Some cases of hypertension that are not lifestyle related can reach life threatening levels (as in, embolism or burst blood vessel or heart failure) if not treated regularly.

I'm happy to stand corrected given my very limited medical knowledge.

That said, old mate obviously wasn't too concerned about it given that he forewent treatment.

Thank you for your balanced take on this. :)

A guy named Bachir Atallah thought that Trump was on his side? What a jackass

And then decided the best place for vacation was Canada, who Dumbo basically declared war on immediately after taking office.

People can be immigrants, and be pro business, and against undocumented immigration...

But! People should have enough intelligence to grok (and they don't) that if for some reason you're on the wrong side of the equation, you can find yourself in deep shirt

And this is how little Timmy, err, Bachir, learned that voting for faschists is bad. Sigh. Okay, maybe he learned...

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 5 points 2 months ago

Nah, it was honest mistake. Could’ve happened to anyone.

Almost

Almost, shame.
