One of the conservative values is that people have rights and you shouldn’t punish people collectively.
Except that collective punishment is and has been happening to unarmed noncombatant civilian women and children. Human rights advocates are protesting that.
How the hell do you say this is a conservative value when conservatives routinely call for the collective punishment of:
all gay people
all trans people,
all south american and mexican refugees fleeing authoritarian governments, brutal drug trafficking cartels and economic instability
*all Muslim people
*all Palestinian people in particular including innocent children
This is the part I find particularly reprehensible- 2000 pound bombs dropped on children is justified by “Israel’s right to defend itself” and to protest this is “antisemitic”.
Meanwhile “One of the conservative values is that people have rights and you shouldn’t punish people collectively.”
This is the moral emptiness, duplicity and iniquity of American conservative politics.
When have conservatives called for punishment of all gay people, all trans people, all south American and Mexican refugees fleeing…, all Muslims, all Palestinians?
And I’ll add to that list native Americans who legitimately feared genocide from the founding fathers that conservatives revere so much. Don’t forget The Indian Removal Act signed by Andrew Jackson.
