Replace "muslims" with "billionaires" and suddenly you'll have SWAT breaking down your door.

I used to have a boss who like to joke about firing people on his team. He was a nice guy and there was no ill intention behind the jokes, but we eventually had to sit him down and tell him that he couldn't joke about that stuff because it causes a great deal of stress to people given his position.
Another example is bomb jokes in airports. Aside from just being in poor taste, that's something that will get you arrested and probably put on a no-fly list for life because it's an extremely serious matter with no exceptions.
So, even if Trump and his people are just joking about these horrible things, it's completely unacceptable when it's entirely believable they would do this stuff and would be in a position to make it happen.
TLDR: There are just some things you don't fucking joke about.
Since 2016, I've had people telling me he won't do some of the worst stuff he talks about because congress would never let him. And then he does, and they do. I'm convinced that moving the goal post is the only way some people can cope.
Given how Trump openly spoke about them while campaigning and outright saying he would deport them, I really don't know what they expected and I have little sympathy. They enabled the nazis, now they suffer the consequences along with the rest of us.
I don't think it's about authority, but if Israel is stupid enough to kill the Pope, I imagine most of the catholic world would immediately turn on them. That could be enough to pressure other nations to finally get involved and put a stop to the genocide.
thanks for using Leebra!
