I don't need to go through all of trumps offenses for you to know he's truly a despicable person who has never faced a real consequence his entire life.

Shout out to those who didn't win the genetic lottery, I'll cast my lot with you. Real trauma deserves real compassion.

They believe that if you're poor, it's your fault and you deserve it.

Stupid, like most of their beliefs.

It's a religious pitfall called the "Gospel of Prosperity"

If you assume that the righteous are always blessed with prosperity, then it can be assumed that the poor are poor because they are wicked.

Breaks down pretty quickly when you remember that wealthy people can be wicked (Matthew 19:24 makes a good argument that it's difficult for them to be anything else), and that good people often go through really hard times (e.g. Job)

Too bad Jesus didn't have anything to say about how his followers should treat the destitute 🤷‍♂️

What about if you're a criminal. Don't you deserve to be prosecuted?

Are you saying poor people are criminals?

They're saying Donald Trump is a criminal

No argument from me. He's been convicted.

I guess I don't understand what you're asking then. Someone else said you meant Trump. And yes, he deserved to be prosecuted for his crimes as anyone else does... but I would also say that people should not work against unfair laws that are only designed to hurt people, which would include SCOTUS' decisions to let presidents commit crimes and criminalize the homeless.

Just because SCOTUS made a ruling in Dred Scot doesn't mean anyone should agree with it.
