He's destroying the lives of my friends. There are 100,000 such people affected according to the DOJ in court, and they all have friends as well.
Geopolitics is complicated, and the right action isn't so obvious that I'm going to be in the streets whenever someone drops a bomb. I don't and can't understand things with enough certainty to be outraged. This situation is obvious. He's destroying lives for useless political pandering.
The difference is not the degree of immorality, but my certainty of it.
Moreover, a president who bombs other countries is not going to suddenly bomb me. This president already tried to deport my friends, and almost all of my friends are immigrants. Can any of us feel safe now?

You know that Syrian refugee crisis that's going on where nearly 500,000 have already died and countless more are permanently injured? How many lives do you think that has ruined? Did you also know that the wikileaks cables revealed that the Obama's CIA was in Syria and stoked the fires to start that civil war? >Moreover, a president who bombs other countries is not going to suddenly bomb me. This president already tried to deport my friends, and almost all of my friends are immigrants. You know what? That's really shitty. I didn't vote for Trump, don't support this retarded EO, and will be glad when he's gone. But it's absolutely disgusting that you can consider this shit incident to be anything close to the magnitude of the lives the government has destroyed over the last 16 years. This is trivial by comparison.
- moultano 10y agoUnsurprisingly, I care more about my own friends and family than a situation I understand little about. On a global scale, everything is trivial. I'm not going to stop trying to improve the circumstances immediately around me because things are worse somewhere else.
