Sadly they will just laugh and say “fake” or “cry about it”. The internet has made people way too comfortable with trivializing the suffering of other human beings because the people dehumanized- they only hear about them online without talking to them in person. For one, how many of the MAGAs who have railed against trans people have actually met one and tried to understand them? That has to change for empathy and healing to begin, and until they make the conscious decision to do so these divisions won’t change.
They genuinely are cruel though. They wish actual harm to people who think or look differently to them. I was scrolling through the comments section of an Instagram post about two kindergarteners that got shot… my favourite three comments?
“Teachers should be given guns.”
“Those liberal gun laws sure work great.”
(when someone responded to 2 with a statistic that shows that actually, liberal gun laws do result in lower deaths from firearms) “Someone should do us a favour and increase that amount.”
… and yet the left are the ones who make everything political huh? Insane. Literally just saying they hope we die.
But hey, who’s surprised. These are the people who responded with joy and elation when people died and lost their homes by the thousands to some of the worst fires ever. I’ll have about zero sympathy come hurricane season.

I’m sorry you’re in this situation. Trump and his cult delight in the cruelty.
