    <content type="html">&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 24px; font-style: italic;"&gt;I don't know anymore, man. I genuinely do not know how to argue empathy at somebody. I don't want concertgoers and schoolchildren to be routinely slaughtered in hailstorms of bullets.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 24px; font-style: italic;"&gt;You don't care&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 24px; font-style: italic;"&gt;. I don't want some kid's first memory to be that of a jackbooted deportation force kicking down their door and ripping their father from them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 24px; font-style: italic;"&gt;You don't care&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 24px; font-style: italic;"&gt;. I don't want a mother to bury her child solely because she couldn't swing $600 for a two-pack of Epi-Pens.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 24px; font-style: italic;"&gt;You don't care&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 24px; font-style: italic;"&gt;. Every day you wake up and deflect, but-what-about, twist, bend, contort, and echo whatever vile, clubfooted rationalization keeps you from having to admit that&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 24px; font-style: italic;"&gt;you're not just complicit in but in fact actively facilitating&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 24px; font-style: italic;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;this nightmare of a reality [that] so many people are experiencing. I care about other people. You do not. It's as simple as that.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 24px; font-style: italic;"&gt;Take your thoughts and prayers and shove them up your ass.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=shadowe_filker&amp;ditemid=113616" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
