“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out – Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out – Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out – Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”
- German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller about 1930’s Germany
That is how Republikan “empathy” works… they have no interest in the plight of any group until THEY (or someone close to them) are the ones being targeted.
We have about half a country that you must LOVE, Sadie. We are continually outraged about everything that the BLOTUS SCROTUS has done, said, or tweeted!
Sometimes I think they want us outraged and other-focussed while they run off with all the money. They’ve given us plenty to be outraged about, dammit! But in the end, they’ll die, too!

Sadie is right. If you didn’t speak up when he went after others, your complaints are hypocritical now.

Obviously, we need Haitian immigrants to work at Mar-a-lago.
That’s why they were imported using H-1b visas.
Because The Wall.
