And we’re not supposed to bomb fishing boats that might be doing illegal activities either. Justice doesn’t exist in this country.

I'm tired of this discourse that conservatives are too dumb and therefore can't understand what's going on or the result of their choices.
They can. Being dumb is just their shield, but they're fully aware of what's going on and their decisions - they agree with them.
They're not too dumb and accidentally elected a pedophile... they know, they feel the same and would love to get away with it. They're not too dumb to see ICE is fascist, they love it, they have been waiting for decades for the chance to be openly fascist. They are not too dumb to believe trans people are ruining sports... they know they aren't, but they want to make trans people miserable, they don't care about the excuse.
Are they dumb? Yes, but that's inconsequential, that's not the reason they behave the way they do. An eight year old child is also not very smart, but they are more than capable of empathy.
Yeah, well, who made you Judge Judy and Executioner?
