Thesis summary by @[email protected]:
The difference I think between the right and left is that the right would take joy from the suffering of the left.
Most people on the left would be sad if we lost Florida (or anywhere else really) as a result of climate change.
yes it would absolutely be too hard. i prefer to view all human beings as having worth :) but that’s just because i’m a childish stupid woman with no clue about anything :/
Floridians, more than other Americans, believe climate change is actually happening, according to a new study by Florida Atlantic University. They also want the government to do something about it.
does that sound like a people group that is being represented by its government to you?
be so very careful here. what you are doing has a name too. they call it victim blaming. you correctly identify a republican-led government, and in your mind pre-determine the forgone conclusion that the fault lies at the feet of every individual on the ground.
nevermind those pesky details like gerrymandering, redistricting, voter suppression, campaign finance laws, and rampant misinformation. none of that is real! it’s all the people’s fault, of course! what was that thing marie antoinette said? oh yes, let them move elsewhere /satire
none of this is to claim zero culpability for Floridian Republican voters; i do not intend or imply that any such individual is blameless.
i do intend to call out the prevalant and frightening blanket-statement attacks from “the left” that betray an extreme lack of political, class, and emotional awareness, of which yours is the most recent.
