It's bad because it's happening to my friends, but good when it's my enemy, seems to be the pattern, often. Perhaps not in this specific instance (I'm not sure). But it is very often the case.

I donโt take it seriously when people say like this is the โstartโ when Obama deported an insane amount of people. More than any other previous president. We were literally calling him the โdeporter in cheifโ!! So I agree with you in the sense people only care when itโs their โteamโ so to speak. Like wdym โit starts withโ referring to anything going on now??? Like thanks for tuning in years behind everyone else and then trying to tell the people you largely ignored what they already know ๐ก now that you finally decided to care ๐ฅฒ
The first time I was old enough to vote I voted for the deporter in Cheif and I felt very betrayed tbh!!! Full disclosure and all that!!
In fact, it's often not silence but reframing, joy and justification.
