I always love the cognitive dissonance people have seeing others hope that a man directly responsible for a metric ton of civilian deaths, succumbing to a painful death, is not ethically correct.

I mean people seem to have zero issue with United Healthcare. Exorbitant Healthcare costs is the equivalent of death, but literally bombing hospitals and refugee camps isn't?

Not to mention that he'll be receiving the latest and greatest in medical aid anyway, so there's a fair chance he'll survive. A lot of geriatric asshat world leaders contracted covid and still lived.

I can't even tell if this is DNC shilling because several people have implied they would treat Trump the same. Wth kind of moral compass are yall following lol?

directly

Sorry, what?

Remind me again — Was Biden Israel's Prime Minister?

It may help to inform your confusion if you start looking at things with a bit more nuance than these stark black-and-white takes. If you want, I can try to walk you down this road.

No no, you see, Biden personally wrote the order to bomb civilians. And Trump, obviously, stopped all the bombing. That's why these people didn't vote for Harris. Totally morally justified to cheer on a painful death-by-cancer.

No no you see his bombs that killed people and ignoring of COVID was good so being happy is bad.

And Trump's bombs that killed people and ignoring of COVID was bad, so being happy is good.

Why yes I am morally consistent and not at all blinded by my love of politicians who don't know I exist or care for me. I'm a good American!!

We're the good guys. It's OK when we do it.

He's not directly responsible though. Indirectly, sure, but words have meaning.
