Ironically, so is COPE in the US. Coincidence?

Even as someone who is also prone to looking at things through the dystopian politics lens, I felt this comment to be a bit much. I hate MAGAts as much as anyone (which leaves me particularly conflicted with my own family), and I feel you're probably right in that there's likely a fairly strong correlation, but beating people who are already down due to COPD is kind of a bad look, doncha think?

I suppose so... If their flavor of copium didn't have disgustingly extreme consequences for every other plebian in the entire nation, that is. Sure. Live & let live, yeah. Only, they don't. So, fuckem.

I get the sentiment, believe me, I do. Some of them are starting to see what they have wrought, however, and I'd rather take the opportunity to continue turning them around by not being antagonistic - as much as it's deserved, it's counterproductive.

Nah. There are enough humans to go around without keeping the rot in the basket. Leave some for the crows.
