the fuck is up with republicans and their utter lack of empathy for actual fuckin death
the fuck is up with republicans and their utter lack of empathy for actual fuckin death
I’m sorry, but MAGA is utterly vile. There’s just no other explanation.
Trump recruited sociopaths just like him to be in the cabinet, in order to inflict maximum pain on anyone who lives in America.
Does the person consider the death of an ant? of a roach? or a insect? What are we to these fascist monsters but pests?
Malignant narcissists like POTUS project their self-hatred outward ... destroying everything they can control. Casinos. Our Republic. As we see with ICE, far too many people - almost all incredibly cruel and depraved - will run to join the malignant narcissist's atavistic destruction.
Kernberg's concept of malignant narcissism: "Malignant narcissists are proud of their aggressive & sadistic traits, believing they are superior traits that allow them to dominate & succeed. A key feature...is sadism-the disposition to derive pleasure from inflicting pain or suffering onto others."
📌
Well you gotta remember that for the last few years among evangelicals, the idea of "The Sin of Empathy" has been spreading among some influential circles. (No, I'm not kidding.)
Always a good rule of thumb you can usually stop after “the fuck is with republicans….”
They aren't dying, and nobody they love or care for is, either. Remember, they are the party of law and order. Don't break the law, and you have nothing to worry about, right? Law and order is done by them, not against them.
Death cult. Other people's suffering & dying makes them happy.
This dude was an Obama appointee!
That man's wife kicked his ass out of the house and he still cares more about being a bootlicking asshole than he does his own family.
Absolute monsters
They have no souls.
I think it’s safe to say we can eat them without feeling guilty at this point
I fear they might not have been entirely honest about being “pro-life.”
That's only for the unborn,who don't ask for help or money.
“Go look for yourself”, also, “Despite what the Constitution says, you have to give us a week’s notice.”
They don't identify people as humans in the same way most of the rest of us do. It allows them to treat people the same way Kristi Noem treats a dog.
...while most of them are grey and old as fu--.
Repulsive Republicans
How about if they didn't die in those places, Tom? Would that upset you?
Branding Recruiting Boasting In the most clinical.
People die representing their constituents Homan. Remember that. REMEMBER Melissa and Mark Hortman and their dog Gilbert. Assassinated by a MAGA Trump cultist.
I agree. Same goes for everyone who learned about my childhood friend’s death & shrugged. I’ve been shouting about prison conditions since they murdered my friend in the first year of the Obama administration. Empathy is a rare earth mineral with seeming little value. vtdigger.org/2009/12/14/d...
Mofos, all of them!
The purpose of white supremacy is to justify, through dehumanization, the mistreatment, exploitation and murder of whomever is deemed nonwhite during the course of wealth extraction. In other words, Republicans don’t see them as human, and it shows.
It's a fascist death cult, just like the Nazis. Empathy is the cardinal sin. The greatest crime a conservative can commit is the act of empathy, it's the ultimate scarlet letter. If you show any sign of kindness, you're labeled weak and a "libtard" then they violently remove you from the cult.
We don’t call it a death cult for no reason darth
ice custody is amateur Auschwitz
fucking ghoul
Feel the warmth.
They hate brown and black people. They only care about themselves. They are power mad.
He was the same guy when Obama appointed, promoted and awarded him.
It's who they are.They did the cute little oh I'm so religious, the babies, the babies pro-life schtick to get all these dimwits to vote for them. Bullshit PR campaign worked very well for them. The thing is, you should never believe ANYONE who loves guns, executions, & war is pro-life. & they're a
death cult.
I have serious philosophical and moralistic problems with Empathy. I have sincerely argued against the resort to "Empathy" in modern culture. But where is the Sympathy? Common decency? Even a dose of average professionalism? Why can't they act like sane people?
It’s the same people that said people needed to die to save the American economy during Covid.
Their idiot in charge has no empathy, so they all line up to be assholes too.
MAGA does tend to struggle with empathy. Unless something negative directly affects them, they have no capacity to empathize or sympathize. They do not come equipped with such complex cognitive abilities.
fascists
Sociopaths is a better word
the fuck is up with the people that vote for them?
they don't fucking care - unless it's them.
Homan's 'shit happens' response both normalises the harm that's occurring, and deflects responsibility for it. The U.S. WWII 'enemy alien' roundups of Japanese, German & Italian Americans, and the McCarthy era witch-hunts, were like trial runs for the 2025 ICE raids.
Next time someone he loves dies, millions of people should remind him that it’s not a big deal because people just die.
They cannot even take a second to consider why this is an issue.
They say they are afraid of this group or that group, but truly they are afraid of losing their offices becuase their rich donors might lose a sliver of power. These republican politicians truly have no values (or ideas) other than being a part of the rich/elite...
...and maintaining and holding powers for the rich/elite however they can and with whatever bullshit story keeps that mythology in place. But it is a myth that the rich and powerful give any shits about anyone else or have any empathy... they do not...
The sooner people realize that these people do not give a single shit about them... the better.
And all of those things are wrong so his real answer is just "We don't give a shit."
He thinks there should be an award for killing slightly fewer prisoners than his fellow traveler Joe Arpaio.
You could have stopped at empathy
republican party is a death cult been so for like, 23 years
44.
They learned from the pandemic that it concentrates record capital so now it's whatever they can do to hasten everyone's exit.
Wonder when his day will be~~
I have said this before and I will say it again, they don’t fucking care~~ and I hate fucking Nazis
They're a death cult.
Goes with their lack of empathy for anything else I suppose
They are demons.
"industry"?
How about he dies? Geeze
they don't respect human life.
death is what they want
Lack of empathy is their unifying trait.
I think this was my pinned post back in the Bad Place for...a very long time.
Are you new here? The only lives that matter are unborn fetuses.
Correction: other peoples’ fetuses. When an inconvenient fetus is their own, they are okay with abortion.
I think it’s because they are all too evil to die.
The funny thing is that a lot of these bulging fucks are staring lethal pulmonary embolisms directly in the eyes
They’re a death cult.
He paid taxes all his life. Probably more than Holman.
this deth kult clown is grifting suckers on YT with "emp protection" devices for their homes and cars while killing people in the gulag can't make this up
'everybody dies' 'they'll get over it' 'people die' the fuck is wrong with you
✅ correct question
It's a totally normal attitude, for a death cult.
www.npr.org/2025/03/22/n...
As I’ve said before, if there really is a Jesus, I wish he’d come back already and start cracking some skulls. Where the Bible says it’s a sin to take the Lord’s name in vain, THIS is what it means: Purporting to be followers of Christ while simultaneously repudiating the teachings of Christ.
20 years ago R's were bitching and moaning about supposed "death panels" that would come with the Affordable Care Act. turns out they WANTED those.
they're sociopaths
My family in Texas are wonderful people, but this is the weird ass evangelical philosophy that they've repeated for years. It's kind of a death cult.
He’s gonna die too. Hopefully much sinner than later. It’s shit like this which confirms there is no god. God was made up in ancient times when the church was a towns government.
Same as they did during a global pandemic…
That’s the campaign ad right there for every Democrat next year.
hope he dies soon, wtf.
Fascism requires the death of empathy first.
Bingo.
Perfect encapsulation of the Trump era. Just no empathy at all.
My guess? Sociopathy.
You don't get to be top level republican without murdering your empathy with a wire garrote
But giving out corporate welfare is okay. No one is going to get over this
God please give him to me and put him in my basement.
It’s what they said during the height of the pandemic.
They're cutting public services to fund concentration camps. They're just evil.
"Evil" is too abstract. The GOP have embraced the Tea Party, champion of Libertarian Ron "Let Her Die" Paul. This is problematic enough. Worse, I haven't seen them here yet, but over on the other hellsite, the DSAholes have a new brand name, the "Democratic Tea Party." abcnews.go.com/blogs/politi...
Another obese Nazi
Christian nationalists have this warped Christian view of eternity being the purpose of life, but they cut out the Christian part about caring for other humans.
Isn't the caring for others part how you earn your way into heaven? Because that's what I was taught in Sunday school.
I remember learning that’s how you got your crown in Heaven & I’m always commenting about how large my mom’s will be because she’s always helping out & caring for others 😊
It is, but Christian nationalism isn’t Christianity. It’s cherry picked religious principles warped to gain control over outsiders. Use enough Christian sounding verbiage and you can fool actual Christians l.
Absolutely. They should pay heed to what the bible says about being fooled by false prophets.
Nah, it's purely faith. No works required. They make fun of the churches that expect people to do good works.
Being a Republican rots the humanity right out of you.
So horrific
It's costing us trillions of dollars? No one asked us if we thought this is a good idea, because it's not. I do not want to pay for this evil.
The wrong people are dying, darth.
why do all these sick freaks have a weird head vein is that the RFK brain worm is it spreading
It's caused by thin skin For real
The were the words of Jesus and they came to be known as the Malattitudes.
It's what republican Jesus wanted
Honestly, there is nothing right with them. Nothing.
Republicans and conservatives lack object permanence. As pure solopsists, if an object or person is not directly in their field of view, it does not exist.
MAGA Republican bigwigs should go first.
Gus either doesn't know how they sleep at night or knows he's about to go in his crate, maybe both - who can say?
simple, the old fuck is so far removed from seeing it himself so he doesn't think it's a big deal.
How old is Tom?
His heart is a blackened 250 year old lump of coal…that’s all I’ve got
Objection! Assumes facts not in evidence! Please show me in the record where there is any evidence he *has* a heart!
Tick tock, motherfucker.
63.
😏😎
Hopefully as old as he will ever be.
It’s wild seeing Darth curse. Twice even. That’s how we know just how bad things are.
I have a theory that they all believe the biblical end times are right around the corner. Some of them think they're fighting on the side of good and that collateral damage doesn't matter, others believe that the end times are coming anyway so what's the difference if some people die now?
It's a death cult.
That's a little hyperbolic, but only, like, 5%. They think they're going to be taken to heaven in the rapture, we're the ones who die fighting the skeleton wars.
I'm unfortunately aware of what evangelicals believe. I live in the southeastern us and one of my parents is a fundamentalist Baptist. A real weirdo. One of my half-brothers went to Israel to convert Jewish people to Christianity and is a member of a militia. Death cult is apt.
They fail to realize or maybe they do that Trump better fits the description of the antichrist than some kind of savior. Christian nihilism.
I've been calling it "Rapture Induced Nihilism," but we agree on the important point. "God will provide so we don't have to," is the kindest version I can imagine. But no, that's not how it works, that's not how any of this works.
Just feels like a fair number are trying to bring about the end times, failing to heed Mark 13.
That is not a theory. Evangelicals have been openly promising to overthrow the government for my entire adult life. Now they have succeeded, and are using its power to accelerate fire, flood, famine, pestilence, and war, because they think it will bring Jesus back
Brought to you by the same Evangelicals who forced politics into their churches and have all but publicly declared empathy to be a sin. Growing up, they were the people who were the most likely to be judgmental of your every action, while least like you to help you with anything. Only gotten worse.
We've taught our kids that the louder that someone proclaims their faith, the more you need to watch your wallet and your back around them. You'll know who are truly religious by their actions. While I'm an atheist, I respect people who actually live their faith instead of weaponize it.
People who don’t know what’s happening think “Demonrats” is just an insult. No. There are millions of people who genuinely believe Democrats are possessed by demons. Some of them have killed their own children trying to drive demons out of them. What do you think they’ll do to us?
I agree, but is Jesus coming back FOR them, or BECAUSE of them. I offer that it is the latter.
OH used to be hairdresser, her clients included Jehovahs Witnesses and Evangelicals. They both knew they would saved on Christ’s return, but one lot thought they would inherit the earth and the others that they would join JC elsewhere.
OH means? I'm aware. I have a professional bad habit of using questions that will evoke a response, especially on a subject that remains to be proven and remains open, like this. Mix in LDS beliefs and it's a complicated blend of religious hope and terror. I'm secretly fearful of who will win.
Other Half Soulmate Spouse Wife
Meanwhile we, liberals and the left, have a blind spot for this. We don't believe, so we struggle to believe that they believe, it's unbelievable to me and I'm the guy saying the thing! But I think the theory fits a lot of the observations.
Two thirds of America identify as Christian, including very many Democratic officials. The majority of Jewish representatives and all Muslim reps are also Democrats.
Her first. Have my cancer bitch
Deplorable was being too kind
What a heartless piece of shit!! Maybe if it was someone in his family that died he might have a little more interest! But, maybe not! WHO ARE THESE REPREHENSIBLE, COWARDICE, CRUEL BEASTS???
It's a death cult
They reflect their voters perfectly.
They are boosting the funeral businesses, tho. Doesn't Ivanka have a patent for Chinese-made coffins?
EVIL!
Death of the 'other' their most basic fundamental goal. Whatever path gets them there gets them off.
They WANT these people to die. It's not just a lack of empathy.
Almost as if all lives don’t actually matter to them, Darth.
The current defining characteristic of a conservative is a shocking lack of basic human empathy.
Complete lack of humanity aside, their main job is keeping people alive. And they simply don’t want to?
I'm hoping Homan eventually gets his chance to die in a federal prison.
The more people die or get extracted to other countries, the more $ will remain from social security to be “reallocated” Also these people aren’t of their “class” so “no biggie”. It’s mind boggling.
They are horrible people. Pretty much all of them.
Because they believe that these people deserve to die, for being inferior (non-white) and daring not to remain in their place (as deemed by Homan et al)
bsky.app/profile/davi...
Horrible
The only answer that makes sense to me anymore is that it's part of their plan.
Gee, I sure hope Tom Homan isn’t arrested without due process and thrown in a cell where they forget to feed him
Folks ignored the treatment of the incarcerated for a long time bc of "who" police usually arrest. When those communities asked for reform due to innocents being jailed, everyone rolled their eyes. Now, folks are seeing what happens when a different group is the target, and can see the problem.🤔
I look forward to the day he dies in prison.
It’s appalling that he refers to it as “the industry.”
They're monsters and demons in human form here to make us all suffer?
Yeah pretty much
Sounds about right.
Let's hope he dies in one of them
I have looked at the stats and would very much like to come back and talk to Tom tbh Darth, can a potato loving panda make that happen
WTF kind of answer is that? He should be brought up on charges....
The call empathy "sin" and compassion "weakness". Call me crazy but that sounds like the exact opposite of what Christ taught (which I mention because these same folks cloak themselves in the guise of "Christianity")
It wasn’t a white person so they don’t care
Hey Shit happens
I’ve been asking that question for so long. Probably somehow Reagan or the NRAs fault. (or both!)
Everyone dies in a death cult.
They don't care. It's that simple.
COVID irreparably fucked conservatives brains.
No, I’m sorry to tell you they’ve ALWAYS been this way. They just feel comfortable taking the mask off.
It's like they're a death cult or something
You can’t expect murderers to have sympathy for the dead
We learned about that during Covid.
They talk about how liberals and the left are demonic because they’re both projecting their own shittiness and using it as an excuse to treat us as less than human.
Christian Nihilism. Nietzsche wrote about it. One of his more accessible ideas.
remember when we all weren't allowed to get healthcare because of death panels, darth????
also explains their stance on vaccines.
There are humans and then there are Homans
bsky.app/profile/redl...
The Republican Party is the corral for Americans who want all this. We have self-sorted into Manichean sides. What’s so hard to understand?
It's their goal. The deaths are the actual goal.
Tom Homan deserves some "lead" in His constitution.
He was worrying about death indignantly not long ago. I'll remember this the next time that potato starts whining.
The entire government is running on Roy Cohn’s rules for winning
There should be a trump Administration death tally website. Because these numbers are going to get a lot higher between abolishing USAID and Medicaid, the body count is going to get much bigger.
Absolutely, but MAGA will just call it fake news, or pivot to their favorite pastime - whataboutism. “But..but…Obama-Hunter-Laptop-Benghazi-Trans-People”.
Callous disregard is a common feature of antisocial personalities.
ghoulish mortician fit.
GQP is a DethQult. The more people die? The more wealth/resources they can Keep/Control for themselves.
Not a word about the fact there was no reason for him to be in ICE Custody. Absolute bastard.
Good lord.
Lack of empathy is a necessary condition for "conservatism," Darth. I don't understand it, tbh.
it’s more than lack of empathy i think darth they like it, it’s a feature also, this guy is a little bitch hi @marisakabas.bsky.social
Wait till people start taking revenge on them. Kinda feeling like that's coming. It won't be liberals, it'll be their own people who voted for this shit and realized they were lied to. The revenge will be karmic indeed. Their frankenstein monster is gonna turn on them and I suspect soon.
It's called "autogenocide."
It's a cult of death, all of it. They worship death as long as it doesn't choose them next.
"The cruelty is the point."
Every republican cares about exactly ONE person.
They are dead already?
People die in office too.
apparently there is a sociopath executive search firm
There’s 0% chance that man has anyone in his life that loves him.
Ain’t no way they care about it…
COVID broke them. I remember vividly how Trump repeatedly said in 2020 that COVID only killed people who were going to die anyway. It nearly killed him that October.
The GOP is a death cult. Ignore their rhetoric. Just pay attention to what they prioritize.
How much does everyone hate him?
I'm guessing it's because they're horrible fucking assholes.
This asshole is a pure sociopath. Nuremberg 2.0 is a-comin', racist goon.
🤞🤞🤞
it's way worse than a lack of empathy. he implies the dead was some exotic disease vector, and that ICE saved us from the pathogen
The ONLY thing the republicans care about is MONEY. They're all sick fucks!!
People in goverment also die.
Unless it’s a white woman killed by an immigrant.
Bull. They only use it as a talking point to double down on their bullshit. They don't actually care about women's loves either.
I have no doubt that’s exactly correct.
Was he republican when he was in the obama administration?
All of what he says is true. Shame on us all that this happens in our name (financed by our tax dollars) and happens at all.
Because a large portion of their base has an evacuation theology where they bet everything on "paradise" outside of this world without having to do anything to change this one.
There are still too many people who are afraid to recognize this for what it is: American Christianity is designed to crave authoritarianism. Even back in the 1800's it repeatedly mutated into weird doomsday cults
I grew up in it and the circular reasoning and logic they use is maddening.
They only fear death when it isn't just brown people dying. Remember, this guy *claims* the reason he's not cohabitating with his wife at this time is because of "death threats." His death? He seems to fear that. Anyone else's death who isn't a Heritage Foundation Nazi? Fuck 'em.
They are a death cult. They believe in the Rapture fairy tale and think they are destined for heaven. If there turns out to be a hell, I hope they rot there
They’re horrible people
They want a lot of people to die, Darth.
Pro-life pros!
😢 I’m unaware of that. 🖕Him and all the gop liars .
they cram all of that into bitching about abortion, so there's nothing left for actual deaths
They think we can be replaced by AI and also that we aren’t actually human. Also they’re monsters with no redeeming qualities and I’m heartily fucking sick of them.
GOP stop being ghoulish challenge.
They've missed their calling. They could be on Boards of HOAs.
their whole belief system is rooted in engineered fear of imagined scarcities so they operate entirely on the notion that anyone out of the way of their hoarding for themselves and their kind is a good thing. They're monsters to their core.
He's not supposed to kill them.
This guy has a huge bank of Karma that I hope comes due soon
“Go look for yourself”, hmm, I thought that was what democratically elected officials were recently stopped from doing
It’s a death cult, darth
Seems like being a sociopath is a requirement for anyone actively participating in the Trump/Republican agenda.
The lack of empathy is the point. They want to make it seem like human life isn't of value.
The sadism is the point.
I feel like it's part because that don't think it'll either happen to them (in their crazier troll moments) or they're very confident they'll be comfortable when it happens and are only concerned about death in that regard (and are otherwise high on trolling)
They appear to be a death cult of some sort
The US is now at the Lord Farquaad stage of late capitalism.
Erm actually lord fuckwad wasn't a capitalist
Here is another guy who needs his poor health to catch up to him.
They perfected it during the pandemic
They’re a death cult. They just truly are.
Even Tom’s going to die. Then I’ll take a piss on his urine soaked grave.
Garbage shit people darth™️
slave patrols gonna slave patrol
They’re just not pretending any more that it was ever about “healing a divided nation”.It’s about conquering one. By force.Not sure when if ever America is going to stop sleep walking their way to autocracy & a new American Monarchy but I suspect it’s already too late. A Republic-if you can keep it
Cruelty is the point as Adam Sereer wrote years ago during Trump 1.0
Know how you could keep people from dying in ICE custody? Abolish ICE custody.
Unless it personally affects them, they literally don’t care.
They’re fucking sociopaths, Darth.
They're waiting on the endtimes and life eternal.
I believe the term they prefer is “pro-life” Granted, they do not practice what they preach.
Lack of Empathy is a prerequisite for Republicans and MAGA.
This is part of the reason the nazi comparisons are 100% warranted
They’ll suddenly find it at their trials. Or not. Who knows with Nazis.
Literally this. The jackasses actually do believe in climate change but instead of trying to stop it, they're mitigating by cleaning house of all "undesirables".
Cause nobody's killing them so they have no point of reference on terror.
They need to be afraid of us.
buncha ghouls
People die in ICE custody because YOU put them there, Tom, you nazi fuck.
Dead people are the lowest in the hierarchy. If you’re dead, you lost. If you’re a loser you deserve to die.
They only care a out the white-er right sort of deaths
Nazis think certain people are less than human. Empathy and other humane attributes get removed from the equation, this way. That's how they justify genocide to themselves, darth.
