I’m the odd man out here. But I don’t see the issue here. If the shoe was on the other foot and Biden got hit in the ear, and the Democrats did this to show support to Biden people here wouldn’t deride them as they do the Republicans here.
There’s many things these politicians deserve criticism for, solidarity for someone having been hurt isn’t among them.
If Harris got cancer we wouldn’t mock senators wearing little pink ribbons.
Wearing a ribbon is a lot different than wearing a pillow looking bandage. It feels a lot like a grift to sell product, especially if the My Pillow Guy was selling them.
If the situation were reversed and Biden was the one who got grazed I’d still mock the ear bandages, because they’re stupid. You could just as easily wear an orange ribbon for mass shooting/ gun violence awareness.
A bullet nicked his ear BFD. How about solidarity for Corey Comperatore, the guy who actually died at the event?
If Harris got cancer Republicans would mock her for it. Don’t pretend otherwise.
I’m fine with the down votes. Dissenting views are important even when unpopular or wrong. Many times in history those dissents have been used as a beacon, showing the way for future generations like Benjamin Curtis’s in Dred Scott.
If on occasion it means I lose fake Internet point for ensuring spaces don’t become echo chambers, that’s a price I’m willing to pay.

Uh oh. You brought logic to a political post on Lemmy.
Straight into the has chamber with you. The chamber is painted in rainbow colors. So its fine.
