Worth noting I encountered these liberal apologists within MONTHS of Biden taking office. The very day it came to light that he was opening even more concentration camps, there were liberal Democrats crawling all over reddit, tumblr, and twitter to explain why this was good ackshually.
Side note: Never listen when they say “now’s not the time to talk about this in an election year.” That’s a red flag that alerts you that you can safely discard anything else they say after that. They were saying that already in 2021.
I’m not religious, but there are definitely Christians who do help the poor. There are even certain groups of Catholics that offer tangible support to the poor, immigrants, trans people, etc. in spite of the capital-c Church being awful overall.
Regarding the first part of your comment, I suspect people who engage with this community are here exactly because we do have ideals. Not all of us agree on some specifics (MLists vs. anarchists, anprims vs. ancoms, etc.), but I’d hope we at least agree that things like border fascism, genocide, classism, and queerphobia are unacceptable, full stop.
