If you want to know the difference between Trump and Obama:

Obama would have immediately tried to learn who else was injured, and issued a statement of condolence. He would have at least shown concern.

Trump immediately realized he could use it as "Badass PR." And didn't give a shit about the cultist who died.

Neither do I to be fair.

I understand, but regardless, that was a civilian guy who didn't expect to be killed in front of his family, and the public.

If you don't understand that, or don't care, don't bother answering.

Look, I get that you wanna be all centrist and shit, but when you voted for this nutter in 2016, you got that ball rolling. At this point, anyone who chose to vote for him or abstain in protest is directly responsible for the damage that is going to cause the deaths of tens of millions of Americans over time.

So please, if you don’t understand how I couldn’t give a shit about one single racist, bigoted zealot... Don’t bother answering.

I see. You're stupid. I have never, and will never, vote Republican. Ever. I'm as Left as Left gets. You'd know that if you had just slightly peeked at my post history. Anyway, we're done.

Most people think they are more “left” than they really are.
