I'd really love it if, instead of them suffering, we could just get everyone to stop suffering.
We focus way too much on the "people getting what they deserve" aspect of politics and then it consumes our rhetoric to a point where we overcorrect and put more effort towards punishing bad things than building good things.
Well you see, we've tried rationalizing with them, reasoning with them, spread some logic to them, educating them .etc
And they still kept doing the same thing anyways. They were the ones who told us we were liars, we're apart of some "Deep State", we're "Traitors" and all sorts of insults and untrue slander.
Where have you been?
"They're gonna get what they deserve" is literally why Trump is in office. He promised his supporters that "they" (mostly immigrants) would get what they deserved.
This is not a place for fighting fire with fire.
