    If there is a way to kill a vulnerable person, a conservative will find it.

    Do your part to combat conservatism. Exclude conservatives from your daily life. There is no place in polite society for such vile, grotesque villains.

      I wish you wouldn’t jump to blaming conservatives for this!

      They would never do anything so blatant!

      They’d leave poisoned water and candy little children like.

      Sure, ALL conservatives are grotesque villains who love killing vulnerable people… Some people should hear themselves speak, smh. Username checks out I guess.

        I’m glad you heard my message correctly.

        When you choose villains as your representatives and then remain silent as they do horrific things to vulnerable people, you are a villain.

          And your solution is to shame and dehumanize the entire conservative community into submission/irrelevance? Labelling everyone on your right a villain, nazi, fascist or whatever solves absolutely nothing and kills any attempt at honest discourse.

            I don’t have to label conservatives anything. They have done that for me.

            Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Conservatives are incapable of entering a discourse in good faith.

              The concept of good faith goes both ways.

              I’m sorry but hardly anything you said about conservatives in this thread was in good faith. Otherwise, kindly point me to any moderate conservative casually calling themself a villain.

                If there’s a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you’ve got a table with 11 Nazis.

                Everything I have said in this thread has been factual. I am not attempting to convince you of anything. I am pointing out the harmful, grotesque nature of conservatism. You disagree. I understand. Thank you for your feedback.

                You are now free to return to stormfront or nambla or wherever conservatives like to hang out these days.

                  There it is, calling me a conservative without any proof. Good job grouping me with all the other “villains”. Nevermind that I’m a life-long leftie who understands nuance.

                  Aight, it’s getting late here. Good luck with that two party system of yours. Seems to work out great for you! Go extremism!

        @freehugs @Burn_The_Right

        Stop whining about “not all conservatives”.

        Of course it’s not all conservatives, but it’s enough conservatives that do (or support, donate to, etc) shit like this that cause people to die, one way or another.

        Instead of crying about it why don’t you go after your fellow conservatives about the shit they do instead of others for calling it out.

        So you’re saying that you oppose the people removing the water then, right? How about J6? Do you believe it was a coup attempt by Trump and his compatriots, and they should all be held accountable? I have yet to meet a Conservative that does not dance around the subject. Please show me that I’m wrong.

    Most likely Border Patrol or Compassionate Conservatives. Who else would do something as inhumane? Literally nobody else has the motivation.

      Border Patrol has a long history of destroying water stores left out for migrants. It’s usually plastic jugs that they slash open and leave behind to be found by the migrants, which is almost worse to find than just taking the water and USBP knows that.

      I remember that Bible verse fondly.

      And yay, Jesus said unto the people, “I have taken these loaves of bread and water and turned them into a feast for all1

      1 Does not include anyone with a slightly darker skin tone2 or from outside of the greatest country ever3 or poor or lame or weak or obese or ugly or that doesn’t fit my perfect description of a person4

      2 Unless that skin tone was achieved through baking oneself under harsh UV rays (real or artificial).

      3 Obviously I mean the United States. That totally existed in biblical times you pedantic asshole.

      4 Even if I don’t personally fit this description, this absolutely applies to me as well. I can be fat and poor and worthless, but fuck all you other people struggling with life. Be born better.

    Are we sure they’re working to figure it out? Pretty sure they’re not. Pretty sure they know where it went. And why it’s there
