The cruelty is the point. We have reached a tipping point in society where empathy is a determent to financial success. I think this may be yet another end result of capitalism. We are reaching a point where “enshitification” is touching every facet of society.
Or, and hear me out, Greg Abbott and Texas are shit.
They are, but it is bigger than that. They do this because the people who vote them love the deaths, they love the pain. And the people who these hateful people vote in do everything they can to rig the system for the hateful minority.
And yet insist on voting for who has the most “Christian” label even though Christianity explicitly talks about saving refugees and how their Savior was a refugee.

From what I’ve seen the majority of voters are opposed to these policies, it’s just that they a prevented from voting.
Don’t let these fools manufacture consent.
When I hear about things like this it upsets me, because these people are in a situation that is so terrible that they would rather risk death than be in their current situation. It’s insane all they want is a better life for their families, and they are willing to die for it, so their situation must be unimaginable.
Growing up I was in a small rural area, that was poor, and had an abusive family, the best option at the time was the military, and both me and my sister joined to get out of our situation. I only say this because I’m straight up expecting the US to run out of military applicants and decide that yes migrants can become citizens in exchange for obligatory military service, aka migrant draft?
Our country’s military is dependent upon keeping people poor and desperate. And that is the reason that programs to lift people out of poverty and give women body autonomy are being rolled back. The economic imperialism of the USA is the root cause of the refugee “crisis” in the first place. If Jesus Himself came before Congress the ruling class would label him a communist and have him killed.
They did that to the Irish during the Civil War. “Sure, you can come here. If you’re willing to die for the chance.” And a huge number were.
Then the Irish lynched black people and suddenly became real Americans
Irish are so incredibly racist
And the cause is a few billionaires and corporations buying our government
