216 grown-ups in one group are in favor of it and want it to exist. Among those 216 grown-ups are the people that made it the thing that hurt people.
4 grown-ups of another group are also in favor of it.
That you are mad at the 4 grown-ups and not even bothering to mention the 216 grown-ups that created/are in favor of it, shows that you have fallen for the distraction they would want you to pay attention to.
If it helps, you can picture being on a playground and there are 216 bullies attacking all the girls.
Now imagine four kids that aren’t usually seen as bullies join in.
What you’re doing is being angry at the four kids that aren’t usually bullies and blaming them for the hurt the girls had to endure while excusing the 216 kids for their behavior.
How about this:
You’re on a battlefield facing the enemy, their entire force attacks you.
4 people from your side go to join the enemy side and help it win.
Are you letting those 4 back into camp afterwards?
Then let’s say your army’s leadership says “we have to let them back in”
It doesn’t seem to matter what conservatives do anymore, does it? As long as there’s analogies that explain how it’s the fault of the democrats, it really seems to matter very little.
All I see is the usual to-be-expected-from lemmy “this is the democrats fault!”
Conservatives drafted the bill. BLAME THEM.
216 voted for it- BLAME THEM.
Four Democrats voted for it. BLAME THEM.
I’m just sick to death of the anti-democrats propaganda when it’s the fault of conservatives that we’re here to begin with!
I’m critical of the Democrats because they’re the only hope for defeating the Republicans and they keep losing. Do you think babying them will make them stronger?
Being critical of the democrats is completely fine. I just happen to think that dismissing conservatives because this type of shit is expected of them is a HUGE problem- and a big reason why we’re where we are right now.
This has been my point. Not that people are critical of democrats. But that people are ONLY critical of democrats and giving conservatives a pass because thats just what they do.
More simplified? Okay.
A thing was made that hurt people.
216 grown-ups in one group are in favor of it and want it to exist. Among those 216 grown-ups are the people that made it the thing that hurt people.
4 grown-ups of another group are also in favor of it.

Stop doing this.
How about this: You’re on a battlefield facing the enemy, their entire force attacks you. 4 people from your side go to join the enemy side and help it win.
Are you letting those 4 back into camp afterwards?
Then let’s say your army’s leadership says “we have to let them back in”
Are you still trusting that leadership?

This is how they keep getting away with it.
