Perfectly outlines the divide and conquer strategy.

A lot of homeless people can't work. But, for those who can, it's hard to find a job when you haven't been able to shower for a week, have no money to purchase nice clothing for interviews (let alone no where to keep these nice clothes), and don't have an address which is often needed to secure either a job or benefits.

I have been homeless this year, and was lucky enough to get into a housing program. But my finances are still fucked, and I can't work because of serious mental and physical disabilities. It's a trap that is so difficult to get out of, and I'm very worried that I'll be homeless again in a few years.

Imagine the toll this takes on a person, then add that this population is hated, derided, and repeatedly victimized by both the general population and the government/police. Imagine struggling with mental issues, and having all that you've managed to collect stolen from you every other week. Imagine having physical disabilities and being unable to run away from assaults. Imagine all of the above with the additional burdens of being a woman, a POC, and/or LGBTQ+.

Now think about how rough the job market is for people who have stable housing, and who meet the qualifications of a job, and for those who wouldn't be a "DEI" hire in the age of "anti-woke".

Empathy isn't a weakness, it literally only means that you understand someone else's plot in life. Being able to understand situations like or unlike your own is a strength, and it's necessary to promote societal change. And that is exactly why conservatives hate it

So everyone knows who’s downvoting this:

Considering subsidies and tax brakes, conservatives are the biggest free loaders.

true but also maybe a little goomba fallacy

Empathy is the greatest sign of strength.

It's almost like conservatives are truly, deeply evil and building concentration camps to kill vulnerable people is completely on-brand for them.

Conservatives: "Why do none of you damn snowflakes care about ME?!!"

To preface, I agree 100%

But a paragraph of text strawmen isn't really a meme :/

Through this rhetoric they also conveniently make people forget about homeless refugees, immigrant women, lesbians, and the mukhannathun.

I think you would struggle to find a conservative that hates Muslim people because of what someone did in Orlando or hates gay people because they are pedophiles. They hate them because they were told to by right wing media, that's it. Pretending there's some logic behind it is pure fantasy.

Trying to have a conversation with someone who thinks words are a competition. Trying to shake hands with someone who tries to arm wrestle you.

I had a recent train of thought like this not long ago when Talarico affirmed MAGA talking points about trans athletes in women's sports.

The number of trans athletes active in the US is about ten. The number of sports injuries involving trans athletes is less than that.

Bit this raises a question about the safety of women's sports, or all sports, for that matter. Injuries are ubiquitous in sports, all cis-on-cis, with exceptions fewer than a rounding error.

And then that raises the concern of full-contact gridiron football, which is a TBI machine from varsity, through college, to professional. If we're worried about sports injuries, do we stop caring when it might cut into billionaire profits?

I'm still sore with Talarico about it, but I'm not in Texas.

Why so true.

Wait it ended to soon. Does that mean they like jobs?

Libs still not giving a fuck about muslims.

It's hard to be a rapist, murderer, pillager, colonizer society and have a heart and humanity. It's one or the other, basically, but being a monster (and influencing the cattle to become predators) can be very profitable!
