What’s with MAGA loving animals?
My folks are hard core MAGA, and one of the many things that baffles me is how much empathy they employ towards animals (like abused dogs), while simultaneously not giving a flying fuck about human suffering.
People dying because they don’t have access to healthcare - “well they should have worked harder!”
Tens of thousands of children killed in Gaza - “they would have grown up to be terrorists!”
Extrajudicial killing of civilians by police - “why didn’t they just comply!”
But holy shit, when it comes to animals that are suffering, these fucks suddenly turn into the Dalai Lama himself. My parents spend thousands of dollars donating to dog shelters, cry at commercials, and foster abused animals. What in the selective empathy is going on here? Does anyone else experience this with their family?
I have some theories, but I’m curious of what yall think.
