Tyler Ratliff @bederatliff.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I remember "mudslinging" being a vocabulary word in my social studies textbook in middle school, right alongside "primary" and "electoral college".

But to turn it outward & think that alleviating others' hardship is necessarily bad for them is how we end up with preachers talking about the sin of empathy 090
Tyler Ratliff @bederatliff.bsky.social · 14/09/2026And for what it's worth, I think this is a major driving force for MAGA types in general.

Everyone should suffer to pay medical bills or work endless hours for minimum wage or get harassed for being in a marginalized group 1280
