    @return2ozma Conservatives see this and applaud. This makes them happy. It puts a smile on their faces, but then they’ll turn around and argue online that it’s not about blind hate. They all know, deep down, that they’re evil pieces of shit. They DO KNOW and perform all sorts of mental gymnastics to half convince themselves otherwise.

    Every time they see the evil they’re doing in the world this hypocritical dichotomy churns in their brains, and I hope on their deathbed they’re consumed by it.

      History will remember them the way we remember the racists who upheld Jim Crow in the American south.

      Assuming that there will be history of course.

      While it might be true that conservatist culture is a big reason why this person is now dead, I don’t think the majority of any group is celebrating on this. And it’s dehumanizing to paint any group like that.

        The majority might not celebrate this murder directly, but support for the Republican party in the US is implicit support for dehumanization of trans people which inspires these murders. The policies and rhetoric used by the mainstream right-wing are responsible for this death.

          The only people responsible for this death are the people who bashed this person’s head on the floor (edit: autopsy seems to suggest that they were not the reason).

          If we want to list the people who contributed to this death happening, the list is longer and contains elements you would probably not like to hear.
