I am legitimately not happy that MTG is getting death threats, and I also have to triage my concern and empathy these days so unfortunately there are a lot of people ahead of her in line and she helped put a lot of them there.

My compassion fatigue has made it nigh impossible for me to have empathy with her and her ilk. I remember her antisemitism, and how she stalked David Hogg around DC calling him a hoaxster.

The “Jewish Space Laser” congressmember? Yeah, I have a great deal of trouble mustering any concern or empathy for her. I wouldn’t want her to get killed, but that’s about as far as it goes

Yeah, this about sums it up for me. Also (& I suspect we share this view too) having some level of empathy for her does not in any way excuse or negate the harms she has done (and will no doubt continue to do). She still can and should be held to account for her actions. Consequences ≠ threats.
