      My friend, it’s important to keep in mind that abstract concepts have real impact on real people. Innocent people kidnapped to CECOT are losing their lives because their constitutional right to due process under the law is not being respected. We don’t just want the real prison to be nicer.

      1 tweet from trump kills more ppl then 9/11.

      -150 000 children now will be born with HIV because of trump. -remove food regulation, how many millions will get cancer in usa. -covid, throw in another 100 000s ppl because of his incompetence and rather give his russians friends the testing machines, instead of Americans. -crashing the economy, agony, suicides. weakening USA and your foreign aid that saved over 25 million ppl is gone. millions more to die becuase of trump. -his incompetence in ukraine, 100 000s of dead. would be very easy to push back russia if you support ukraine with weapons, forcing russia to surrender.

      Over a million Americans died to covid, and his administration chose to not send ventilators to blue states because they didn’t deserve the help.

      The joke in Team America is that the destruction they’re trying to prevent be 9/11 times 1000. Well, covid had gotten us to almost half at 1.2 million. https://www.pnas.org/doi/epub/10.1073/pnas.2313661121

      He and his administration helped covid kill many people directly and indirectly by sewing doubt in the CDC.

      Citations please.

      Also people have died already from trumps choices. A lot of people. Probably much more than 9/11.

          Hiroshima had a lot of deaths too. Do you have a point to make or do you just want to point out random shit that doesn’t matter?

      Is it violence only when there’s a bullet fired, a knife stabbing or an explosive collision?

      There are plenty of ways to inflict violence on another just by way of policy and letting extremists have their way with no constraints.

      Would you say the millions upon millions of people who died under Hitler’s policies aren’t comparable to the “lots of real people” of 9/11 just because it wasn’t Hitler himself firing all the bullets and setting off all the gas chambers? All violence can be traced back from the direct perpetrator to the one who gave the order, and both are accountable for it.
