If Hamas detonated hundreds of bombs in various electronic devices, killing dozens and injuring thousands in random public places, everyone would be *rightfully* horrified and condemn this tactic. How the fuck can anyone think this is acceptable?

The more I talk about the election the more shocked I am by how many people memory holed 2016-2020. Every day was a new horror. New emergencies popped up constantly. I fundamentally don’t understand how people seemingly forgot about all of it.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
