My only problem with the point this image is making, is that it doesn’t matter if we are supportive or dismissive.
They’re still, as a whole, as a group, going to be terrible people.
Compassion fatigue is a real thing, and while I don’t want anything bad to happen to anyone, you can only save somebody from themselves so many times before you realize they’re going to do bad things and nothing can stop them.
Fuck this.
Let’s be real bare bones about this.
In Tennessee, 2 million people voted for Trump.
1 million voted for Harris.
The vibe is, “Those 1 million people can’t fix their situation so they should be just as fucked as the other 2.”
And that’s wrong. It’s wrong to condemn whole swaths of humanity based on where they live, but even if you’re dick enough to say “FAFO” when real humans suffer, you shouldn’t be willing to throw your own allies under the bus based on arbitrary lines on the ground.
And I’m a first responder, don’t talk to me about compassion fatigue, it’s not an excuse not to help someone who needs it.
I hear you. But if you are a medical professional then you must also know about the concept of Triage.
The sheer balls to try and fucking mansplain to a first responder. Holy shit.
I didn’t even respond. The audacity to compare dark decisions made to maximize saving life with an attitude of political apathy had to be trolling. Deeply unserious.
