Stop with the “both sides are the same” nonsense. Red states got some of the largest funding in Biden’s stimulus package despite not voting for him. The democrats have consistently tried to pass bills and funding for the needy regardless o

You’re assuming they care what happens to their children when they’re gone. We’re talking about sociopaths. Sure they care more about their children than the random plebe walking down the street, but they definitely don’t care more about th

>What makes you think French citizens don’t care? ...because they haven't protested the proposed law? If they have, do you have a link? I've not seen any coverage in mainstream or independent media.

I find it fascinating that a country with citizens that are typically willing to protest in the streets at the drop of a hat don't seem to care. Is it that they aren't technically literate?
