    Let’s go for the liberal scadenfreude. Deportation of Latinos is OK if one of their family member voted for trump appartently

    Disguisting community. Same level as the people who comment “SEE WE TOLD YOU TO VOTE FOR OUR GUY NOW ENJOY THE BOMBS IDIOT” under every Gaza news, completely oblivious to the fact real people are dying

      Nobody is saying it’s okay. The argument clearly being made here is that you can’t have any sympathy for someone who gets exactly what they signed up for. Its not, “she voted for agent orange, so now I’m okay with unjust deportation.” Being against ripping already marginalized and struggling families apart and not having sympathy for those who helped put in motion the very nightmare situation that their family is now now in are not a one or the other view to have.

          Yes, I have and, again, nobody is cheering that people are being deported. They are saying they have no sympathy for those who voted for this and only care once the consequences reach them personally. I’m not going to pretend your argument is based on anything that’s actually being posted hinting that this is a common sentiment for folks on the side against unjust and cruel deportations.

          Granted, there is always a fraction, how ever small, of people within any group that are just mean spirited shit-fucks who make the group they identify with look like fuckers as a whole. But in no way is this a common or acceptable view by the vast majority of the group as a whole.

      No sympathy for those reaping what they sowed doesn’t mean no sympathy for those deserving of it, ie. those in her family who did not vote for Trump who are now suffering because of a situation she helped cause.

      Banned. Seems a bit much. Maybe I’m lacking context, I dunno. I’ll just say I think it’s fair to point out whenever there is collateral damage deserving of consideration, and I didn’t feel insulted or anything by their post that is now removed.

      If anything it’s just motivation to do some introspection. We should take care that our inclination to react to news like this with righteous vengeance doesn’t overshadow our empathy for and solidarity with other people that’s at the core of why idiots and assholes voting a fascist rapist into power makes us feel this emotionally invested.

      Is this your first time in Lemmy? It is all about the suffering porn, and everyone is equal unless they are a real human being with issues and complexities.
