YOU BITCHEZ ARE SAVAGES

Hillary Clinton accused the MAGA movement of transforming “savagery” into a moral value, arguing in a sweeping new essay the idea that “compassion is weak and cruelty is strong” has become an “article of MAGA faith” – which she warned has become a “rallying cry” to Christian nationalism.

In a 6,000-word article published in The Atlantic on Friday, titled “MAGA’s War on Empathy”, Clinton framed recent federal actions in Minnesota as a turning point that exposes what she called a deeper ethical breakdown within President Donald Trump’s movement.

She opened by describing her reaction to video footage showing the killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis on Saturday, comparing him to the biblical parable of the good Samaritan.

“Jesus tells us to love our neighbors as ourselves and help those in need,” she wrote. “Not in Donald Trump’s America.”

According to Clinton, such incidents reveal that fear has become the central objective of federal enforcement under the current administration, rather than public safety or justice, writing: “Trump and his allies believe that the more inhumane the treatment, the more likely it is to spread fear. That’s the goal of surging heavily armed federal forces into blue states such as Minnesota and Maine – street theater of the most dangerous kind.”

“The savagery is a feature, not a bug,” she later added of the MAGA movement.

In a central focus of the essay, moving beyond Minnesota, Clinton argued “the glorification of cruelty and rejection of compassion” she claims is evident in Trump’s policies appeals most to “a cadre of hard-right ‘Christian influencers’” that she argued are waging a “war on empathy.”
