    Might wanna reword that title to make it clear the perpetrators, not the victims, are far right.

    It would be interesting to hear how many excess deaths are due to this as well, but ofc we will never know, being prevented from counting.

    Used to play a game with myself where if the headline didn’t mention the political party I would guess if was a Democrat or Republican proposal.

    “Does this hurt anyone?” Doesn’t matter if they “deserve” to be hurt or anything else. “Will this hurt any group(s) of people?”

    If yes, it’s a GOP thing. Every. Time.

    Now consider this headline:

    “Man kills neighbor over political dispute.”

    Who would you assume did the killing, a liberal or a conservative, and what would you assume about the victim’s politics?
