actually, how about not looking into state-sponsored CP

Lol jesus christ. What are you, 13?

Wikipedia says congressional Republicans expanded Medicare, supporting a new drug plan for seniors starting in 2006.

Now can you please move the goalposts, tell me why it doesn’t count, it was too long ago, etc. I’m sure there’s no way I could spend another 20 seconds finding other examples lol

I don’t know man, I’m sure they had reasons other than “solely to inflict suffering on other humans”. Frankly, I don’t care. Republican politicians are mostly scum. But painting every Republican as a one-dimensional caricature that subsists on the suffering of others is shortsighted, naive, hyperbolic, and dangerous.

Ok, if you say “show me one single act where a Republican acted with any singular other interest besides the explicit directive of making people suffer” I’ll spend my time finding an instance. Or you can just admit that you didn’t mean what you said, and no matter what I say you won’t change your mind, and we can go about our days.

I’d imagine they’ve proven otherwise many times. People aren’t one-dimensional pain-inflicting villainous caricatures. But nothing I say would convince you of that.

To lemmy users, all Republicans are one-dimensional villainous caricatures twirling their mustaches
