May 2, 2024 - Fifteen police cars were burned down at a police training facility in Portland. Good job, Democrats! It seems like your love for the genocidal Israeli state and police brutality has brought the Cool Zone™ back, right before an election. Masterfully played. [video]

It seems Eric Adams, the Mayor of New York, is more interested in making a name for himself and making everybody aware of his opinion on the CEO shooting, than allowing Luigi Mangione to have a fair trial.

Referring to him as a terrorist is certainly a bold move. Maybe we could also start referring to the man who burnt a woman alive on a subway car as a terrorist also? Or does she not matter because she wasn't a wealthy health executive?

It will be funny if it's concluded he can't have a fair trial due to the Mayor's actions. Maybe he should be focusing more on his own bribery and corruption charges, than getting involved in a case that doesn't concern him.

Who needs policy proposals when we have "weird"? Surely that will stop fascism!

I'm wonder if we don't use the word evil enough in politics.

The Harris campaign spent all of its time trying to appeal to the moderate Republican. But they of course didn't care. The Republican party is all in on the convicted felon they have twice elected.

A man who used his position as president to cyberbully a teenage girl. A man who has been accused by numerous women of sexual assault. Who has been reported by his own staff as saying that he wanted Adolf Hitler's generals. Who lies as easily as he breathes, and has now threatened military action against our closest allies.

When Florida was hit by a hurricane just a couple months ago, the Biden administration didn't hesitate to provide disaster relief. Democrats don't hesitate to provide disaster relief when American citizens are in danger.

No human being capable of compassion, no human being with the slightest bit of a soul, would attach strings to the disaster relief of fellow Americans. And yet, as wildfires sweep California, Republicans threaten aid.

Democrats keep trying to appeal to Republicans, Kamala Harris thought that she could do it by bringing in all of these anti-trump Republicans to endorse her.

It didn't work. Republicans still overwhelmingly support Donald Trump and what he stands for.

Democrats need to get it through their heads that you cannot appeal to the humanity of Republicans because they have none. At least, not in any of the traits that we value in our fellow humans. They do not have love for their fellow man, they do not have compassion for others. They want Californians to burn and to suffer. They are actively trying to deny disaster aid to Democrat states to make sure that it hurts the people who voted against them.

These are not the actions of people who you can convince by appealing to their hearts and souls. These are the actions of monsters.

For another example, there is a bill being proposed in Oklahoma that would make it illegal for cities to, of their own choice, use funds to support homeless shelters and programs to benefit homeless people when their populations are under 300,000. Essentially, only Tulsa and Oklahoma City would be allowed to provide funds for homeless shelters.

This itself seems like an act of pure, malevolent evil. There is no logical reason to do this. Even if the state didn't want to fund these places themselves, why strip that right from individual cities to do so with their own funding? Why make a law so specifically designed to hurt homeless people?

But then I had a thought...

Do you get it yet?

You take the funding away from every other place in the state. Homeless shelters shut down everywhere. And what do the homeless people do? Where do they go? Right... To the only two cities where they can actually find homeless shelters and programs to support homeless people. And now these two cities that voted against you are suddenly strapped with the burden of providing for the homeless of the entire state!

And you know what, there is probably an element of racism here too. Because while Oklahoma City is still ran by a white Republican mayor, Tulsa just elected its first black mayor in history. (Also, the first Democrat since 2006 which could also play a role.)

The city that a hundred years ago was home to black Wall Street before it was destroyed in a massacre just elected its first black mayor ever. And the Republican response just a couple months later seems to be to funnel homeless people into the city from around the state to artificially create a homelessness crisis in Tulsa.

This is who Republicans are. They will gladly hurt their own citizens just to make sure that they can hurt minorities and people on the other side.

Have I communicated the sheer evil of the Republican party yet?

Why does it feel like we aren't calling this out enough? Like we spend so much time trying to appeal to people who aren't acting out of anything but petty hate and a desire to hurt anyone who isn't like them?

Why don't we call evil for what it is?
