    Or maybe they’re just upset that you’re using the deaths of children to be smug.

    There’s a lot more going on in politics than “insert vote, recieve outcome voted for”. Gerrymandering, simply being stuck in an area where you are the political minority, politicians campaigning on an entriely different platform than the actions they take later while in office… I could go on, but I expect my words would be wasted.

    The dead girls weren’t even old enough to vote.

    In b4 you start running your mouth off about how it’s okay to wish death on the bad people because of what they’re doing to you/the good people. Two wrongs don’t make a right, and even if it did, you’re aimed at the wrong targets. Get your scope zeroed in properly.

      Maybe but 75,000 dead kids in Gaza killed by US weaponry, so maybe they just have the perspective that we don’t really care about kids at all. After all we shoot them in classrooms all the time as well.

      Irrelevant. I speak only of intent.

      The dead girls weren’t even old enough to vote.

      Then they didn’t vote for anything, and thus my blessing/curse is irrelevant.

      I wish for people to get exactly what they voted for. If you voted for compassion to others, I wish for compassion for you. If you voted to hurt other people, I wish for you to get every ounce of cruelty you wished upon others to be brought down upon your own head.

      I wish only that people’s cruelty be directed right back to them. If you feel that someone telling you “I hope you get what you voted for” is anything but a blessing, then that says some pretty damning things about you. If you voted for good intentions to others, then I am wishing good things to you. If you voted because you wanted to see people killed, then I hope your wrath falls on your head instead.

        Respectfully: As I’ve already stated, none of this exists in a vacuum. You don’t get to just declare shit irelevant. Regardless of your mental gymnastics, you are peacocking/gloating about having the right beliefs/voting policy in the aftermath of these children being dead.

        Disrespectfully: Your belief that you can somehow claim any sort of moral highground here is absolutely ghoulish. I sincerely hope you never are denied compassion or help in your time of need by someone professing beliefs like yours.
