In an ideal world, no one would be enduring the hardships he’s facing, especially not without the support of his community and his nation. I would happily support policies that would ensure people like him didn’t have to deal with everything that he’s had to, and would provide him a safety net when he’s going through it.
This man on the other hand is a “three-time Donald Trump voter”. This is what he voted for. Everyone who wasn’t getting all their news from conservative media knew that this exact kind of situation was going to happen when he got elected. He supported policies that hurt other people, whether or not he thought those policies would include himself.
Don’t feel too bad for him though, he managed to get in just before the cut off though. He feels bad that he can’t work any more, but hasn’t expressed any concern for people like him (or better yet, aren’t like him but need the same assistance). There are so many other more deserving of my sympathy, especially when he got his before the door closed on the person behind him, and especially people that didn’t vote for this.
As far as Jews in Nazi Germany… if they supported the Nazi rise to power, they’re not going to get a bunch of sympathy from me either. If you helped bring about suffering, I’m not going to burn myself out feeling bad for those that found out the hard way they were one of the undesirables.
true, but the article indicates (and so did TLC) that this will happen to more people than just that one individual.
No shit. As the person you replied to said: “have the life you voted for”. If you voted for this and now you’re caught up in it, congratulations on the self own.
only around 50% of people voted for Trump though, so even if you're a strong believer in moral desert, you should want to help at least the other half, right?
Yes, I reserve the bulk of my sympathy, empathy, and compassion for the people who didn’t vote for Trump in the hopes that he’d be “hurting the people he need to be hurting”.
To be clear, I want to help even the half of people who did vote for this, but I still have little to no sympathy for those who wanted this to happen, just to other people and not themselves. I want policies that help everyone, including people not like me. That said, I’m not above taking satisfaction from those who voted for this; they either lack critical thinking or are so willfully ignorant to think that they’re one of “the good ones”. I want them to feel the pain of their decisions because it seems that experiencing that suffering personally is the only way they can develop any sort of empathy or understanding for their fellow citizens.
I wish it wasn't happening at all, but I can't feel that bad for the people that MADE IT HAPPEN.
right but what about those who didn't vote for him? I feel like nobody is reading what I'm saying.
I feel bad for them too. We just aren't focusing on them.
