    Not everyone has that option, and telling the people who are resisting to leave just lets the bad actors have full control.

    But honestly, you can go fuck yourself for joking about innocent people dying because their state government sucks.

    It’s not a laughing matter and you should be ashamed of yourself.

      Exactly. I’ll just go tell my teenaged cousin he needs to move and if he doesn’t then any ills befall him are on his shoulders. I’m sure he has full control of his situation and has chosen to live in Texas. That’s the choice I’d make if I was a trans teenager, for sure. /s (he knows I exist, am supportive, am queer, and am in a blue state, there’s just… circumstances. He’s racing towards graduation and college as fast as he can.)

      But I’m not ashamed. Who is resisting? I see ZERO resisting. I see people going on diets, people standing on a street corner yelling… heck, we even had that “No Kings Day” thing which was immediately forgotten about the week after and nothing happened.

      The United States politicians aren’t afraid of the people. And until they fear us, nothing will ever happen.

      We all deserve to suffer. Some more than others.

        The fact that you’re not ashamed for joking about a natural disaster where a bunch of children died says a lot about you as a person.

        Many of the people who will suffer have absolutely no control over the situation.

          It says that I do not give a shit about humanity anymore. There is nothing that you could possibly say that could make me even feel bad. You can tell me I’m a bad person all day long, I don’t feel a thing.

          I did notice how you totally ignored me when I said no one was doing anything. You did not feel the need to correct me, because you completely agree with me. You’re just pissed off that I am insensitive. What a joke.

            People like you are what’s wrong with society aside from the ever impending fascism creeping in. You’re only fanning those flames and laughing while doing it. You’re a piece of shit and I’ll happily call you out on it, champ. And you get what you give. You’re an apathetic piece of shit and I only wish the worst for you.

              Being a piece of shit is subjective. I would argue that fanning the flames is helping the situation, because so many people do not realize we are on fire. My laughter is because I find leopards hilarious. I would ask you what you Are doing to prevent fascism “creeping in,” but I already know it’s nothing.

            Right, that’s a problem. You need therapy for your lack of empathy for the innocent people who will suffer and your celebration of them suffering. You’re mentally ill.

            And I ignored you because I wasn’t going to waste my energy correcting you on it. But I am now.

            Protests don’t have to have an immediate effect. The fact that people did organize is the resistance you’re missing. Protesting is doing something. Yeah, no one has dragged the Texas legislature into the streets and shot them, but things will have to get a lot worse before people turn to violence.

            You also conveniently ignored the fact that millions upon millions of Texans voted against this shit. The fact that they were outnumbered or straight up suppressed doesn’t mean people weren’t trying to affect change.

            And it gets harder and harder to affect change if people just leave.

              Cry me a river. Mericans are so complacent. They want everything but aren’t willing to do anything to get it. There’s going to be a nation wide red wave in the midterms and everyone is going to be so confused how that could happen since everyone is so upset but not actually willing to do anything.

              shot

              Texans are pussies. They won’t shoot anyone.

              get a lot worse

              Yup and nothing will happen. I mean, maybe more kids need to die? That’s the “a lot worse” requirement you’ve set.

                I like how you ignored half of my response like you called me out for.

                I don’t usually support others suffering, but for you I’ll make an exception. I hope you have a terrible day.

                Don’t bother responding to me, because I’ll no longer be engaging with a sociopathic piece of shit.

                    Yeah, I misread Muricans as Mexicans, which is why I deleted my comment. But my other comment still stands.
