The Cruelty Is the Point, Folks

The Cruelty Is the Point, Folks
  • President Biden and his supporters find community by rejoicing in the suffering of those they hate and fear
"It's easy to forget that Joe Biden has only been president for seven months.

President Biden, who has been credibly accused of sexual assault, does not seem to care about the suffering Afghan women will be forced to endure under Taliban rule.

Their laughter at the suffering of others is an adhesive that binds them to one another, and to Biden, in a shared scorn for those they hate and fear."...Read all.
