Biden Cancer Exposes the Cruelty of MAGA

If you want to know the absolute cruelty of MAGA, take a look at Donald Trump Jr’s social media post after Joe Biden announced that he has an aggressive form of prostate cancer.

MAGA is a deeply broken movement, lacking humanity and empathy. (Though with a healthy dose of stupidity. There is no such thing as “stage five” cancer, Junior.)

Let’s speak plainly: a human being is seriously ill and, since the cancer has spread to his bones, he may die in some pain. This is a man who has lost two children — one to a car accident and one to cancer. This is a man who lost his first wife in the same accident that killed his daughter and who almost lost his remaining son to drug addiction.

This is a man for whom any human being would feel empathy, regardless of your political leanings.

But we don’t live in a society anymore where people can put aside their political biases to express sympathy for a cancer diagnosis.
